MYKONOS - THE SECOND MORNING AFTER...

By the time we woke up it was mid afternoon. God its still way too early in the morning for me. We drag our asses off to have breakfast by the water. Were too tired to argue over which restaurant to sit at. We picked a random one and planted ourselves down. I ordered a breakfast plate with cheese, jam & toast while Lucy decided to have spaghetti.


We finish up with breakfast to do happy laps around Mykonos town - like we don’t do enough of that already! We walk towards the port and the local beach to spot backpackers sleeping on the beach. Now that’s travelling cheap and light!

We continue walking when I spot a Turkish shop called “Guzel Gumus”, meaning Nice Silver. Pity it’s closed otherwise that could have been an interesting event for the day. We continue walking until I decide to enter a shop with board shorts. Hence introducing a new freak:

Wacko blond woman

This chick reminds me of a weird wacko science teacher. We head to the exchange woman since we still haven’t seen her to only realise she is shut. Bloody hell we have to wake up early to see that woman. Since were at the top of the hill near the 24 hour café, and note this is the furthest we ever go. We decide to film walking the main drag. We have come to realise we only walk one street in Mykonos 50 times a day. It usually takes us between 20 to 30 minutes doing the main drag.

We start filming when I have a panic attack - OMG I’m nearly out of tape. We cant do this without tape and I still need tape for tonight. We duck into the nearest photo store to buy tape. Now having tape I feel much better. We continue filming as we take our usual detour through Mex Café.


The first stop is the woman who does it for fun. Followed by Mex Café and the weird hairy guy opposite Mex café. Lucy went into this store to buy a bag previously and hence the guy became an instant obsession:

The first stop is the woman who does it for fun. Followed by Mex Café and the weird hairy guy opposite Mex café. Continuing down is Space bar and the stamp shop that we always get our stamps for Christine‘s postcards. We spot Tony’s corner who is now occupied by some random people on drugs sniffing fumes day in, day out.

The drag continues until we spot the 2007 exchange woman followed by Jimmy’s kebab shop. Close to Jimmy’s is Johnny’s Café. Sitting opposite Johnny’s Café is Christine’s homeless sugar daddy in designer shoes. This guy is always wearing new clothes or shoes. Our theory is that he steals them off people’s clothes lines. Notice the bottle of Ouzo above him. The guy hit’s the bottle non stop. The perfect Mykonos life…

We walk past the Crepe place towards the Mykonos tavern - the first place we ever ate at in Mykonos. The mini market is on our left as we keep walking. Now we start hitting the freak stations. First is crazy hat woman, followed by Scary Canary and then constipated woman.

We then walk past the tabacco woman and hence hit the $40 woman near little Venice.

Tabacoo Woman

We usually take a detour from the $40 woman’ s shop as a laughing fit develops towards the CD shop that we always tease. We enter the CD shop, browse but never buy anything.

We eventually end up near Skandanavian bar. The below picture is a shot of Skandanavian bar closed during the day:

We do a loop from Skandanavian bar down Porta bar towards Nikos restaurant and back up. This is when we noticed this freak:

Finishing up on our video we decided to head back to the constipated woman to film her. We decided we had enough footage of her we did the next best thing - we hit SCARY CANARY’S SHOP. 30 seconds into the store and I’m already about to have a laughing fit.

Lucy picks up a calendar and its all down hill from here…

Lucy: What Calendar is this?

Scary Canary walks over

Lucy: Mykonos or all?

Scary Canary - Solo Mykonos, Mykonos,, Mykonos, Mykonos, Solo Mykonos (Scary Canary throws her arms around while screaming this at Lucy)

Right I’m sure we wouldn’t have understood if she said Mykonos once but she had to repeat it 5 times. Next thing you know Scary Canary starts speaking in Greek to Lucy. Lucy meanwhile responds with yes, yes as if she is understanding everything Scary Canary is saying. Like what the fuck? LOL

This is starting to get way out of control. Meanwhile I scream we should buy shot glasses for our vodka. I’m thinking the bigger picture here. We eventually take all our purchases to the cash register where Scary canary pulls out her calculator to sum it all up.

We walk out of the store laughing our heads off. Fuck that just cost us $20 bucks to film. We need to celebrate - Mex café for drinks…

Before hitting Mex's Cafe, I need to do my yearly Mykonos shot:



We sit at Mex Café drinking up. This is the life. We have been up for 2 hours walking the streets and now were drinking at 5pm. Can this get any better. All cameras are out as we start filming the freaks that walk past.

The Mex Waitress that NEVER smiles

There’s a new restaurant opening opposite Mex café and Lucy thinks the guy setting up the shop is hot and hairy. So we take a photo for the records:

Lucy's hairy guy # 2

Then the obsession starts with this woman:

This woman enters the shop and starts pulling open every single suitcase possible while knocking everything else over. She wanders back outside to climb on top of things to reach a suitcase when she trips and falls over. This causes us to having a laughing fit and becoming obsessed with her.

We immediately pay the bill and follow her for the next 10 minutes through town.

We eventually decide to leave the woman alone in peace when Lucy starts complaining that she is tired and that we should get drinks or food. Woman we just had a drink LOL.

We do a quick detour towards the windmills, simply because we never come this way. Plus I'm hoping we can spot the $40 woman on her balcony from here haha

We continue walking around doing happy laps near Marco Polo when Lucy starts screaming out for Christine. We decide to head back to the apartment but not before I decide to buy a designer belt from a little kiosk near Johnny’s Café. I buy a Armani belt for 5 Euro’s. Now when I go into my wallet I realise I have a 50 Euro note only. I give this to the woman and according to Lucy the woman looked disgusted and wanted to spit one me.

We decide to walk the opposite way to our apartment not for the views but we want the excuse of walking past local Christine so we can film her. We walk past local Christine and she has two friends sitting with her on her door step. I don’t think she allows visitors into her house. We mutter Yasas to them and storm into our apartment for a nap. Yes I know we have only been up for 3 hours.

We wake up from our nap to hit the streets again. We decide to do more happy laps and of course check up on the $40 woman before picking a restaurant for the night. Somewhere in between our laps we decided to have seafood for dinner tonight.

Greek Salad

Seafood Platter


This time around we even got free shots:

Last time everyone around us got one but us. We werent worthy so we swore we would get free shots some day...

After dinner we do another few laps before heading back to the apartment to relax with Je’taime - the freaky reality TV show. We decide to fill our vodka bottles before hitting the streets for a few more laps and of course checking out whether the $40 woman is out on her balcony! Haha
