Perfect Postcard Views from Mykonos

Set against the rolling brown hills and pale blue skies is the postcard perfect town of Mykonos... white houses and tavernas, colorful shutters and doors, a maze of shops and restaurants, endless steps up to the windmills and down to the beaches, blazing sunlight reflecting off the whitewash, and a cooling 35 mph "breeze" that could blow you over! These are our impressions and memories of yesterday's day at the island of Mykonos. Only 33 square miles, it has around 5,000 residents overwhelmed by an annual 900,000 visitors! Still, even with most of the ship's occupants onshore, it was easy to find our own space in Mykonos. And the locals are welcoming and helpful.
