Myknos day 3

We are winding down our time on Mykonos.   We leave tomorrow morning for Santorini.  Right now we are relaxing at the pool having a beer before dinner.  Yesterday was a recovery day as we spent time around the hotel reading and relaxing.  I am reading A Tale of Two Cities, and it can be ponderous a at times and Linda is or was reading an English mystery. Anyway yesterday after lunch we walked to the beach.  Suprise supreme almost no one was in the water. I think the temperature would be in the mid 70's.  Lots of people sunbathing though.

Decided that description is the better part of valour and just admired the view.  Walked along the beach to the end, and came back alonthe boardwalk in front of all the restaurants and looked at the menus.  At everyone as soon as we started to look someone came out to sell us on there establishment.  Only thing is that they are closing next week, and they no longer have a lot of things on the menu.  Walked back to the hotel, about 5-10 minutes and sat around the pool.  There isn'the much on Mykonos other than the unique town and the beaches. Oops forgot the wind. People come for the sunshine and beaches. Decided to try the hotel restaurant,  and found it very good and reasonable.  Walked back down to the beach after dinner, a very nice walk, getting a little cool at nights as we needed our fleeces. About 9 o'clock, we heard a bang. Someone at the next beach over was setting off fireworks. They were wonderful, and lasted a long time. We had heard that there was a wedding going on there, so we assumed that was the reason for the display. That beach is here the rich and shameless stay when they are here.

Today we went to the town. Found a  post office!  It was closed.😕  later I went into a small shop to buy postcards we  may frame and hang and the man asked if I wanted stamps. Our postcards to the grandkids may get mailed - if we find a mailbox!
we wandered through lovely areas that we hadn't discovery before.  I admired jewelry in a window.  The earrings 1/2 price were $500. 00.  Walk on.  Everyone had a representative outside their jewelry shop.  We could have bought a lovely necklace half price for $3000.00 or more earrings for only 2500.00.  As Roy said the season is ending and they want to make sales.  We had chicken pitas for lunch at Sam's and bless Sam for having a restroom.😀  There was a different bus driver - we never seem to gett the same one, and back to our room at the top for a nap.  We have been at the pool but now it is time for dinner so farewell for today.
