Day 6- Paros


Hello everyone- we missed a day because our hotel doesn't have internet but we just heard from people that they actually miss our updates so we found an internet cafe. Yesterday we made it to Delos- it was absolutely breathtaking and amazing. It is an uninhabited island that is just full of antiquities- one of the most important sites in the world. I was trying to absorb it all and just marvel in the ruins...mom thought it looked like the french rocks. She was busy scoping for Chuckie V the whole time. We then went back to Mykonos where we found out that the ferry to Naxos was broken down. Being the adventurous women that we are (hehe) we went on another ferry and came to Paros instead. We are staying in a tiny fishing village on the north coast called Naoussa- it's truly breathtaking. It's much more authentic and rural as compared to the commercialism and busy Mykonos. And it's much cheaper. Again we got to the docks and got into some strange man's van (seriously). He brought us to his hotel which is on the beach and has a pool- and it was separate rooms for us to sleep in which is nice. We both caught a cold from the nasty German man who coughed and spewed all over me on the plane. So we were able to really rest last night. Today mom didn't feel well so she stayed in the room while I went to the beach. And of course due to my albinoism I'm slightly burnt (thanks dad for the skin). But tonight we have been wandering through the town and went for the neatest dinner- they were having a celebration in the restaurant for a child's first birthday. They had a band and dancers and ouzo and were throwing plates- sooo cool!! We are now off for gelato- I am gathering research to write a book on gelatos of the world (thanks for the idea Lindsay!). Tomorrow we are putting on our travelling pants and heading to Santorini.

Plate smashing and the French Rocks... what more could you ask for?
