Mykonos for my birthday

This past weekend was probably one of the most fun weekends ever.  I said that about the weekend before too ;p
My friends, Dani, Alyssa, Vicky and I all took a train to Athens and then took a ferry to Mykonos.  We had gone two days prior to leaving and ordered our train tickets just to be on the safe side.  So, we lugged all of our bags into a cab and then waited for the train.  We were the first people on and then about 5 minutes before the train was supposed to leave, all of these Greek women started yelling at us... in Greek, telling us we were in the their seats... but they were our seats.  So the train takes off and everyone is mad at yelling at everyone and people are standing in the aisles... And then it occured to me that our tickets said October 8th, and it was only the 7th haha.  So basically, we had gotten tickets for the wrong day, and we had a ferry to catch 8 hours later in Athens.  It was too late though because the train had already left.  So I thought that we were going to get kicked off.  All of the Greek women were sooooooooo mad and screaming and laughing at us and we were just the typical stupid Americans.  Then I see the ticket guy coming and he looked really intimidating.  He took our tickets and yelled at the Greek women for being mean to us, and then he bumped us up to 1st class!  Our own sleeper cabin.  It was so nice.  The perfect start to Mykonos :)

The ferry ride to Mykonos was an interesting experience.  It was very beautiful, but after 5 hours I was ready to get off.   Finally we arrived at Minna Studios, our hostel.  The couple picked us up from the port and they were the nicest people in the world.  They are so lucky to live in such a beautiful location.
