Took the high speed ferry from Santorini to Mykanos. The wind was blowing hard, which made the seas unbearably choppy. Within minutes of leaving port, the boat was thrown violently by 10 foot waves. The woman next to Shannon puked. Anyone who stood up was tossed across the deck. As we picked up speed, the boat literally flew out of the water. Crashed down hard. Three and a half hellish hours later we reached Mykanos.

Our hotel is located atop a large hill, with great views of the city, port and sea. Hora (the main city in Mykanos) is a maze of small crowded streets. Beautiful stone paths criss-cross between the buildings. Clothes stores, jewelry stores and Italian restaurants fill the streets. We spent the majority of the day recuperating from the boat ride and exploring.
