MVP of the Greek Islands

After only a day or two in Athens we hit the Greek Island of Mykonos and surprisingly ran into the guys, D&J from Colorado on the Ferry.

We played card games for about 6 hours straight, which was a life saver, and go to know the guys. We all ended up saying in this awesome hostel called "Paradise Beach Resort" which had cute little bungalows and was right next to the beach...it was awesome!

The first night we continued playing card games, this time with some yummie white wine, and chilled at the beach...clearly the next day, being deemed a beach day, it decided to rain and be overcast...awesome.

So we all decided to head into town and wander around. Mykonos is basically like The Hamptons...pretty to look at, but the stores are unaffordable. So the girls and I basically gawked at the pretty jewelry and clothes while the boys wandered around the streets avoiding shopping...typical!

But seriously a great place to visit.

That night we went to Scadanavian Bar...the hot spot on the island...and had a BLAST! The Fab 5, as we called ourselves, danced the night away (we tend to love doing this...and I love to call it this) and had yummie drinks and as always a swarm of creepy men around us.

This time it was nice to have boys for protection!

The next day we all decided we were having a really good time traveling together that heck, lets all go to Santorini next...hopefully we won't get sick of eachother.

We left the next day for Santorini, played about 6 hours of card games (seriously..I can kick your butt in crazy 8's, asshole, or Egyptian rat screw) and landed with no idea where to stay.

Luckily at the port people swarm you to stay at their hotels and one guy offered 10 Euro a night AND it had a heart shaped pool...how could we say no?

We piled into a van and headed to the Honeymoon Hotel, which the owner said he only called because it was appealing to "young people"....hmmmm. This is gonna be interesting.

We got there and found out we had an entire room for the 5 of us...living with boys we just met...interesting!

But it actually was awesome. We had a kitchen and 5 beds and we were right on the beach. D&J told their mom and D's mom said "don't pee on the seat." Classic.

We made scrambled eggs and potatoes for dinner and played...ready for this...CARDS! (We kinda had a thing going)

We incorporated some more yummie white wine and hit the town...it was a sunday..clearly in teh middle of no where there is something to do...false. nothing. so bed it was.

Next day was Mopeds...:)
