Mykonos and the beach

A beautiful town. We had a short tour of the city then we were free to spend time. But of course the cruise ships are in. I think 5 this time.
Sunrise - I take a coffee onto the back deck every morning. So peaceful and pretty and warm.
of course we always spend time at the beach in the morning. This time Rinia Island. A beautiful beach but lots of boats as it's pretty protected. Noisy Americans with loud music! The water was beautiful though. I walked up a hill but stopped when I got near the top - brown dirt and I had seen a snake!
look closely!

the ships!
these used to be warehouses but now upmarket housing!
we can see our boat from here. Came over in the tender
the posh houses from the beach
fascinating windmills for grinding grain
my mates
a cocktail so that we could carry on! Our classy waitress!
we just meandered around laneways. Got lost but used Google maps to find out way to the waterfront. Thank goodness for internet cover.
I thought this couple were pretty funky. We couldn't work out how old they were but he was short when walking!
just so many lovely spaces. There was Louis Vuitton and Gucci so you get the gist of Mykonos! Lots of money!
We had street food for dinner. I have never seen a line move faster. Leaves MacDonalds for dead. I paid for my food and it was ready by the time I got to the end of the counter.
Souvlaki with pita and chips!! 
A picture from the net!
i was fascinated.
our beds are folded down and we're have a towel folded every day. I thought this was a koala but not did said now!
this is definitely a crab.

My last day in Bologna

Up early this morning for my free coffee and brioche. I did rest before I went. A delightful breakfast! the noodles were ok but I didn't drain the tuna enough so it was a bit wet - yuk! But it was protein! I thought I would walk to the railway station today to see if it was ok for tomorrow. It's an easy route which is good.  It was a lovely walk. Lots of shops but also historic sites that I would never have found otherwise. it looks like the Gateway of India. No clue. the railway station. the same gateway from the other end. It looks like a most around it with ruins - maybe Roman. those look very deep - maybe something to do with the canals. it was a fun find. the across a road there's was this.  and this? It looked like the whole lot of it was a welcome to the city. The only thing I could find was from Google maps. Bologna, Emilia-Romagna http...

I've done the packing but I've got too much stuff. Only 4 sleeps so need to sort this soon. Apart from packing there's the garden, a tree to be sorted, bookings still to be sorted..... Another day and a relook and a repack and all is well. Everything fits and the bag was easy to do up! That means room for expansion. 😊  Now it's only 2 sleeps.

I missed the picture of all the Australian products made of felt. Very cute. Found this online After lunch we wandered. that's us. It was raining. they are all carrots! We then went to a pub. A very old pub! Can't find the name of it.
