A first for everything...

 We finally had a sleep in day on this trip. After breakfast and packing our bags, we took the scooter out for one last scoot. We drove all the way to the north where there was an abandoned lighthouse,  Armenistis. Super creepy. The wind was blowing the windows and the ply boards back and forth so it literally sounded like someone was spying on us. We were a little sad to see the scooter go....

Fun fact; there are a MILLION stray cats in Mykonos. In the winter, there's a program that feeds them. They also catch the kitties and "sterilize" them. Afterwards, they clip one of their ears. Not many of the kitties we encountered had clipped ears.
We then went back to town for lunch one last time. I had a slice of my first baklava. Tasty honey pastry! Will I order it again? Who knows.

We then took the Super Jet to Santorini, which I should mention was the rockiest boats I've ever been on. I nearly threw up. Thank god for my "Zero to Hero" husband (he keeps asking me if he's a hero now...) who had some medicine. It was a 3 hour boat ride to the island and the weather was complete crap. The snack bar guy was handing out barf bags to EVERYONE. I definitely heard some throwing up. Definitely not something for faint of stomach!

And of course, once we get to Santorini, the weather follows us. It was a disgusting looking place. We went to Oia by scooter which was probably the scariest scooter ride either of us have ever taken due to the 35 mph winds while driving at 35 mph. We did make it back  to the hotel in one piece though.
