Celebrity Reflection Postcard #9 Mykonos

This morning we arrived at Mykonos at just before 6:30am with strong gusts which have remained all day. Quite unusual was the fact that all the lines were tightened but the pilot was not entirely happy with the position so everything was released and the ship was manoeuvred back about 50 metres or so.  Watching the men moving the gangway was quite amusing as they seemed to have little idea what was happening.

After breakfast we made use of the free shuttle into town and spent several hours wandering around the pretty narrow passageways which make Mykonos so enchanting. We wandered up to the windmills for some photos of the views looking back towards the ship.

It really is a pretty little town and after a bit of retail therapy by Nicole we sat and had coffee, a beer and some baklava before heading back to the ship.

After arriving back at the ship we made our way up to a deserted buffet and ate lunch before heading up to our usual spot for some sun worshipping. The strong winds today made it feel much cooler and it almost felt like  sea day.
Shortly before 6:00pm we set sail sail for Piraeus where the temperatures are forecast to be 33 degrees tomorrow.
