First 2 weeks...not much time to go out....afternoon shift....start around 12 (and as we all know in Greece and Turkey nothing really opens before 10....so, no need to rush out) and then work till like 1630, then the ship leaves...see...no time....but once...yes....once in 2 weeks we managed to get out....in the morning...8....in mykonos we decided to go to the beach and load up on some sun.... It was perfect...cause no need for sun tan lotion as it wasnt so hot...but the sea could have been a little bit warmer.....but...i am not complaining...we got to go to a beautiful beach and without having to sweat....and we did have a lot of fun....jumping in the water, tanning and of course chatting...nice to get out and enjoy....and here are some pics....

In Venezia we took a water taxi to the Hilton...looooong ride....1h50min....and it was hot...humid...and thus sticky....but i must say....the ride was quite quick cause scenery is nice and we were taking pics....and chatting....so suddenly the Hilton Molino Stucky...
