Breakfast, included here, spectacular, and we eat it on the deck outside overlooking the bay. Spectacular.
A half hour ferry ride and we come to Delos, an important archeological site, according to myth the birthplace of Apollo and Artemis. What fascinating history. Worth a read, google it. That will save me time. Some words that originate from there are hypocrite and panic. Look up why... We had a guided tour. The weather was warm, the sky partially overcast, a couple of showers on a couple of occasions lasting a couple of seconds. Only felt a couple of drops.
Back in Mykonos, where we got on the ferry, we split up (oops forgot to mention Wayne), and decided to do our own things as couples for the rest of the afternoon. While I was photographing a fisherman, who was attracting gulls while he cleaned his catch, Lisa met a couple of couples who just came from Santorini. They gave her the scoop of the things to see, and places to dine. Good to know. Then a few more pictures o the windmills (from the coastal view that we didn't come across yesterday) and off for a late lunch. We always start with a Mythos and share a Greek salad. Nice, tasty and healthy. I have the calamari. No calamari yet can match Nikos' where we'll dine again tonight. While eating in a quaint and busy seaside taverna, they were filming a movie right there. I got some video of the filming, and some stills, and who knows, I may show up in it, but I doubt it. An Australian movie called "The Kings of Mykonos". Look for it when it comes out. The music in the background as they filmed was "Down Under" by "Men at Work".
Back at the hotel I went for another steam. Our room has a separate shower/steam room, fantastic, never felt better. It's been years since I enjoyed so many steams.
Tonight, we ate at Nikos'. I had the calamari. We tried ouzo, not my drink. Then it was back to the room to do this blogging while Wayne convinced Linda to walk the beach in the dark so he can get his trip sand. The sand we were standing on was not acceptable - but the sand on the other side of the beach (same beach) (same sand) was oh so much better. See ya guys...

Glad to see you guys are having fun. I did not hear much about Wayne. Is he with you? Where is Wayne? This message is from bob's. The fire is going and it's raining. Can't complain!
