Mom and I were excited to leave Athens and head toward the sunshine of Mykonos. We woke up crazy early to catch a four hour ferry ride to the island and the weather didn't seem to get any better. The worst part of the trip was that I finally gave into the fact that I was really sick. After being in denial for a few days I came to realize my sore throat was definitely strep and I needed to see a doctor pronto. I made it almost 6 months without a serious sickness but it was time and my body was finally giving up on being healthy. The good news? I was with my mom! At least I wasn't stuck in some cruddy hostel miserable and by myself. My mom took me to the emergency room and made me pose in front. I wasn't into the idea of posing, clearly:
The day was rainy and miserable anyways so I didn't ruin too much of the vacation. We still got to see a bunch in Mykonos despite the weather and my sickness.
Mom waiting at our bus stop into Mykonos Town:
Mykonos was really really beautiful and mom and I were actually thankful that it was off season because the island seemed quiet. There were no crowds and it was easy to walk around and shop, eat, etc.
Next island: Paros!

Staying in a real hotel! No more crowded gross hostels, well, at least for a week.
