Naxos Road Trip

My favourite photo from Mykonos!!!!


Update from Naxos, Greece

The last weeks has been long and partying. After arriving back from Mykonos earlier on in the month we were greated by Georgina last Wednesday. Along with Georgina came the wind, refreshing but strong. A timely change from the hot sweltery days and nights from the previous four or so weeks.

As usual, we went out every night, drank, drank and drunk ourselves silly (very unusual for me!!!). On Sunday we managed to drag ourselves out of bed, hire a car and do a road trip around part of the island. I will update with some photos and a video soon. Hopefully I will be able to get my photo page up and running properly soon. If anyone knows how to get SimpleViewer working or an equivilent program/photo hosting site working please let me know.

This morning we saw Georgina off at the port after about 2 hours sleep. All of us were feeling worse for wear after last night's hoorah. After the port we all went home to bed. I managed to sleep until 6PM. Along with Georgina went the wind as tonight is calm and balmy (which doesn't leave me much hope of sleeping well tonight).

I can't forget a big shout out to Ariel and Alison, our American sisters from Boston and NYC (respectively). They were a blast and we all look forward to catching up with you crazy cats sometime soon!!!!!

One final mention. The guys and I have been hanging out to jump off a 10-15m cliff near the Portara. But due to the wind it has not been safe to do so. Tomorrow could be our lucky day. I am planning on ripping something crazy moves off this cliff which could lead me to great pain or triumph. Keep your eyes open for some cool videos coming up in the next couple of days.

PAME MYKONOS!!! (Let's go to Mykonos!!!)

It's 5:54AM now and I can't sleep so I thought I should do something constructive and post something interesting.

Well, what can I say... Mykonos, Mykonos, Mykonos.

Last Friday Kostas, Chris, Junior and I took the 1 hour 15 minute ferry ride from Naxos to Mykonos to party it up for four days. We stayed in a nice hotel up on the hill about 1 minute scooter ride for the centre of Mykonos town. At the hotel we met up with Chauny and Luisa who we met in Naxos the previous weeks.

Once we were settled in the girls showed us the way down into town where we ate and then began the journey of looking for some scooters to hire. After getting pretty poor service at a couple of places, including some old hag who looked like she was coming off her previous few hits of herion we managed to find ourselves some scooters. After the usual "here is the brake, etc..." bullshit we headed off for petrol and in search of the beach and party. None of us were smart enough take a map, but luckily Mykonos is well sign posted and we found ourselves down to Paranga Beach.

Paranga Beach is pretty cool. It is, like most of Mykonos beaches, in a little cove with bar(s) running along the beach with good music and over priced food. We took a quick swim, met some Aussie guys, pulled out the rackets and proceded to take charge of the beach. Soon after we got bored and decided to swim out to some rocks where some girls were sitting and like typically aussies started ripping bombs off the rocks into the water. We took some videos of us bombing and diving into the sea from the rocks which I will upload in the next few days.

After Paranga Beach we went to Paradise Beach to meet up with the Greco Twins (Georgina and Tina). We hung out there for an hour before we decided to go to Super Paradise. This place was crazy. Awesome music, plenty of g-bangers running around everywhere to make a blind man see again. We swam and partied there until about 10PM. I have some cool videos from here as well.

The same night we met up with the Twins again and went to Carvo Paridiso to rock for the night. The music was shit. Every guy did their best to hit on the girls we were with which was quite amusing. We saw it all. Pavaroti renditions and the best and worst pick up lines going around. We left around 6:30AM and waited an hour for the bus. As the bus came we saw a fight between two guys. Then before the bus left one of the guys came back with 10 mates (typical Italian style) and beat the shit out of the other guy and his friend.

Next came sleep!!!

The next three days consisted of 2 gyros for breakfast, 2 gyros for lunch and 1 gyros for dinner, more beach, more clubbing/partying and not enough sleep. I will definately be going back again and again to Mykonos.

We were all glad to get back to Naxos. Good food, our own beds and a sense of being home.

It's 6:22AM now so I think I shall go to bed.

PS. I have a heap of photos and videos to upload which I hope to do in the next couple of days so be prepared.
