Day - 24 - Delos/Mykanos



It was raining as we arrived in Delos and the wind was howling. We decided to give it a by and in the afternoon when we got to Mykenos ...just up the road (across the pond) ...the weather had improved and we went exploring. Mykenos is a lovely place with these wonderful old windmills which have canvas sails. It is also a rather touristy expensive place. We walked all through the narrow alleyways and climbed to the windmill at the top of the town and then towards sunset we decided to throw caution to the winds and to hell with the expense, and sit at a bar and watch the sun disappearing. A liter of wine later and with out tongues loosened --we are chatting to people in the surrounding tables mainly about enjoying the moment, being a rock for a million years and this is not a rehersal sort of stuff .... and when we got the bill were pleasantly surprised to find it was only 4 euros. We will go back there again.........a very nice day.
