Well May 22 was a sea day. We were traveling from Sicily to Mykonos, Greece. Started out pretty slow. Bill has been feeling like he had a sore throat so he has been taking Tylenol. So he didn't get up to exercise. He actually slept in late, like until noon. I got up and was very quiet and completed all the blogs I needed to catch up on. When Bill got up and we thought about going out of the room, he went to take another Tylenol and discovered that he has been taking Tylenol PM. So that's why he has been sleeping so much!! Too funny. So we searched through all of our drugs and found the regular Tylenol, but not until I had gone down to the shops and bought some. Thats's $12 we'll never see again.
Well now that we know why he is sleeping so much we have fixed it and we went up to the pool area to find a place to hang out for a while. The pool was too noisy so we headed to the bow of the ship and found two chairs in a quiet area. But it was so windy that it was cold. So we picked up our stuff and headed to the stern of the ship and set up on two chairs. We laid there for quite a while. Long enough to read and get quite hot. So we moved to the Solarium and found one chair. We dumped our stuff on it and got into the pool there. Nice and cooled off. We got out and found one more chair and sat and read for a while.
We got u intake to go get ready for dinner and headed down for dinner at 6pm. It was a formal night so we got dressed up. I wore my new coral necklace from the jewelry store in Sicily. The show wasn't worth seeing again so we went off to our cabin and sat on the balcony and went to bed early.
We arrived in Mykonos early Wednesday morning. We got up (no exercise for Bill), had breakfast in the Tradewinds Buffet and watched us dock. Then we headed to the Safari Lounge to meet up with our tour. We were heading to a beach. Not a nude one this time. It was a short ride. The country side is very rocky and barren. All the houses are white and blue. Everyone seems to have a little church with a red roof near them. Our tour guide said it is people who fish have built these churches to bring good fishing luck to the family.
The beach was very nice. There were sun beds for rent (25euros) that included 2 bottles of water in an ice bucket. The water was icy. No swimming here. There was a nice taverna right there too but since we had just eaten, we didn't need anything. We had a wonderful three hours there at the beach and then it was time to board the bus and head back to the ship.
We arrived back at the cruise port and we jumped on the Sea Bus that would take us to old Mykonos town. It was 4 euros each for round trip fare and they left every half hour. We spent a lovely afternoon in old Mykonos town. Shopping and looking and eating gelato. Caught the sea bus back to the ship and took some well needed showers.
Dinner was quite nice. It was a casual night and I wore a beautiful hand painted 100% artificial silk scarf with my dress to diner. After dinner we sat and listened to the RCCL orchestra play big band music. The show tonight is the guest talent show. So that's a pass for me. Bill says he might go to it. Well tomorrow we are in Rhodes, Greece. See you then.
