By the Sea...

We arrived in Mykonos at noon and immediately set out to do EVERYTHING, totally Aaron and Stina style. Okay, just kidding. We did take it a little easier. We saw only 3 beaches and had dinner in town! Our first stop was to the scooter rental store so that we could see the whole island Greek style. Good thing Aaron used to own a scooter. I ended up being a great navigator (surprise!) as I was able to hold onto the map whilst hugging the man. 

 We had lunch at Aigos Sostis and had every intention of snorkeling but the Aegean is FREEZING right now! No joke, ice water. We then drove off to Paradise Beach known for legendary partying. Since it's off season, it was pretty much our speed of partying; a drink in hand, a kindle, and some slightly loud bass beats in the distance. Yeah, we're wild, I know.
 The water looked wonderful though. If it had only been 5 degrees warmer, we could've jumped in.
 After spending an hour at Paradise sipping on peach nectar, we decided that Paradise just wasn't serene enough and rode off to Super Paradise....Mykonos, where one Paradise isn't enough. Super Paradise was even more closed off from the town. We only stayed for about 30 minutes since we just wanted to see it.
After adventures in multiple Paradises, we returned to our hotel and had some wine at the infinity pool. I jumped in and froze my butt off just so I could say that I swam SOMEWHERE on Mykonos. After viewing the sunset from the room, we explored the narrow alleys for dinner in town. Since we didn't see it during the day, we got extremely lost and had no real way to know where we were. Oh well, better luck tomorrow!
