Kyra Over Seas

After all the rain we endured in Rome, we deserved a mini holiday within our holiday. And boy did we ever get one!

We had three days in absolute paradise. We spent all day on the beach relaxing in the sun, swimming, drinking 2 for 1 cocktails, eating pizza and gyros and spending time bonding with our crazy contiki family. The hotel was directly on the beach and had cats everywhere! And, just for Mike, there was even a dog that roamed the grounds as he pleased. But back to the cats. I'd be lounging on their amazingly cushioned beach chairs and all of a sudden hear meowing at the bottom of the chair! It was basically heaven on earth.

 We got to tour the main town of Mykonos (which is legitimately all white buildings with blue roofs and windows but I made the poor choice of not bringing my camera onto town because it was super hot out and I wasn't thinking) and explored the nightlife of the island. The resort we stayed on had two competing bars, one of which gave out free shot vouchers all day so all of us were pretty keen on staying at the resort and having a good time!

When we got to Athens we experienced an amazing Greek dinner with all kinds of delicious food. The restaurant even had dancers come out and of course I got pulled up by one of them and had to learn a bit of their dance with them! It was such a fun, layed back night. The next day we visited the Olympic Stadium and the Acropolis which was extrodinary. The view alone was incredible but to be there and to see what's left of it was mind boggling. There was even a cat lingering around that we can only assume is a king reincarnated.

Were currently in Albania just for the day on our way to Croatia, and I really miss sitting on Paradise Beach laughing away the days!
Although I just quickly want to through this little cafe we discovered in Albania out there for all you fans out there:
