Entertainment on the ship

We were at sea all day so went and played Bingo.  Of course we lost but it was fun to participate.  Our show for the night was 'World Best' done by the talented crew.  They were really good and did dance and singing numbers from all around the world.

Happy Halloween at Sea

 The crew members on the ship are always so helpful and happy.  This was the omelet maker this morning.  They had all decorated the ship for Halloween.
 Since we were at sea all day I went to the Spa and had a pedicure and mini manicure.  Adrian was very good.
It was cold and rainy all day.. The white caps on the sea were large and the ship rocked and tilted a lot.  It was a good day to be inside.

Mykonos Island, Greece

 Some of the Unique transportation on the island.
  A selfie.  We are not to good and look at the wind blow.
 We stopped at the beach.  In back is what the locals call the Breats of Athena, the goddess of the sea.
 We ate lunch at a small village in the middle of the island.
 The Panaga Tourliana Monastery
A Windmill on the island.

4 x 4 Adventure

 Out tour for today and a Jeep ride around the island.
 The roads were narrow, steppe, rough, and bumpy.  I am glad Randy was good with a manual shift.  Some of the drivers were not so good.
 Views of the Andean Sea from up high on the island.
 We stopped at the light house and got out and walked around.  The wind was blowing really hard.  Something that happens on this island all the time.
 The property is divided by stone fences.  Some of the fences have been around for over 1,000 years.
 Each family on the island has their own church that is used for baptism, weddings and special events.  If you work on the sea you paint your roof blue and if you work on the land you paint your roof red.   There are more than 1,000 churches on the island. Same paint for your house.
 These people must be land and sea.
 A boat high up on the island.
More pictures of the roads.

Mykonos, Greece

 The ship stopped out in the middle of sea and another boat (A Tender) came and picked us up to deliver us to shore.
 Mykonos, means rocks.  The island is all rock.  The house and buildings are all painted white.  It is a beautiful contrast with the brown soil.
 A church in the city just as we got off the boat.
 The Pier on the east side.
 The Pier on the west side.
A view of our ship waiting for us out in the sea.

Waking up to the Sea

 Sunrise on the Sea.  You cannot beat the beauty of the sunrise.
 The sun was shining today.  It was beautiful on the ship.
We took a tour of the Bridge.  You could watch the Captain sailing the cruise ship.

Back to the Cruise Ship

 I liked this picture at the end of the pier.
Our show for the night was an Acrobatic Show.  The man and lady were amazing. 

Shopping Downtown

 We found turkish delights in a lot of the stores.  They are amazing candy made of nuts and fruit.
We stopped in a Spice Store.  The spices are all in bins and and scoop out how much you want.  The young man that sold us some things took our picture so i took his with Randy also.  

Ayasofya Muzesi-Hagia Sophia Museum

 Hagia Sophia
 The tiles, mosaics, pottery and some Muslim ladies.
