Well firstly apologies for the long gap since the last entry - Mykonos was quite the distraction. We were greeted by Tash in her bikini (she had been there for 1 night already) with the line - "Welcome to the madness..."

Our cabins were Spartan, but in all honesty, we didn't make much use of them - it was the beach, bar or table top that we occupied during our stay! At our resort the party starts round 4 and goes through till 9ish, then you get dressed and rested for the real nocturnal activities which start at 12 at the earliest. The grog flows a little too well - the Greeks like free-pouring more than the Spanish! Not forgetting the next stop - Cavo Paradiso - the Mykonos day club. This is situated on a cliff top looking over the ocean, with people dancing in and around the pool, on table tops and basically where ever else they want to. Madness = Mykonos.

Excuse the lack of details but our minds are vague - we did Mykonos proud. Below is a summary of our antics on the island:

*Italian man who prances round the Tropicana Bar (as an employee) yelling obscenities, wearing elephant trunk g-strings...only. "I love Australiani!".

*Nude one-legged angry man who would throw sun chairs around the packed beach whilst swearing in an array of languages! Photos to come...

*We saw Luke Rickettson with a MUCH younger Australian media personality who we are going to the Telegraph with. We are sure no one knows about their 'friendship' back home, and not sure her well-known mother would approve.

*Tash's romantic Italian pick-up line in the bathroom - "(In heavy Italian accent) Ah very sexy. Are you going to do a shit?" - clearly it didn't work on her.

*Carina's brilliant efforts at getting a little Greek man in fluro green hotpants to do her whites in the communal bathroom sink. They are the whitest they have ever been. Bless.

*Kate nearly being killed in one of the bars when a 7 foot ornament fell at her feet, just missing her temple. The general lack of OH&S on the island is alarming.

There are many more tales, but photos will explain all.

Next stop was the calmer but no less beautiful Paros. The ferry trip was interesting, after the previous night's drinking efforts, but we survived sans vomiting - phew. Paros is fantastic - cheaper and more variety of activities than simply partying and parading round in your bikini. Clothes are actually required here....

Visited an amazing beach and stayed at a typical Villa - Villa Gallini - which means silence in Greek. Andreas and May are fabulous hosts - we felt like we were at home. You MUST stay here when in Paros. Check it out - www.villagallini.gr

Off to Ios now - more partying ahead -although finances and future wellbeing are limiting such.

A belated birthday to our Jess - have fun back in Oz and study hard.

Will try to be more diligent with the entries from now. Wait till we get the pics up - you will be scandalised....
