On to Mykonos

From Athens we took a five hour ferry to Mykonos Island.  This is a beautiful Greek island full of white washed buildings.  BUT IT'S VERY WINDY THERE!  We spent two days on the island.  Enjoy the pictures!



This picture was taken of Lorelai on the ferry going to Mykonos.  She was so happy and smiley.  Little did I know that she was filling her diaper with the biggest blow out of all time!  It was a mess.  It was a good think that I was a well prepared Momma with plenty of wipes and extra clothes. 

As soon as we got to our hotel in Mykonos, the first order of business was giving Lorelai a bath (due to what I mentioned in the above picture).  There are no bath tubs in any of these hotel rooms so a sink will have to do.  Lorelai doesn't seem to mind though.  We made do.

This picture shows our Mykonos hotel.  The pool was beautiful. 
Some of the hotels we went to provided us with play-pens for Lorelai to sleep in.  Others did not.  So we slept as one big family in the bed.  It was nice waking up to this sweet face every morning!  It made late night feedings easier for me but hopefully she didn't get too spoiled sleeping wtih Mommy and Daddy. 

Daddy and Lorelai enjoying the water.  It's so pretty!  The water is amazingly clear.  Probably the clearest water I've ever seen.

This is an area of Mykonos called "little Venice" because all the restaurants are right on the water.  This is where we ate lunch one of the days we were there. 

The view from our lunch table


Great food!  steamed mussles for me, and grilled calamari for Joe.  Also, freshly made pita bread, hummus and feta cheese.

Mykonos town is a maze of small streets like this one.  It's easy to get lost!  Beautiful buildings and tons of shopping.

A family picture!
Mommy and Lorelai

Lorelai is one happy baby.  She didn't like the wind so much but we kept her bundled up  and she was good.

Mommy and Lorelai by the pool.  Enjoying the sun!  We don't get much of this in Germany.
There were many stray cats and dogs all around Greece.  This one visited us at our breakfast table.
