The White Dream in Mykonos: Roaming the Streets

Walking in the narrow streets in Mykonos are just like walking in a maze. You never know where the streets are going to get you to. It took me quite a while to familiarise myself with directions around these streets. However, I quite like the feeling of being lost inside the maze, because, as Forest Gump has said: "Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are going to get."

Well, don't take my advice if you are in a hurry. Don't miss the ferry!

All the narrows streets are lined with shops. Ladies, it is quite a shopping haven but watch you wallets!

A shop that sells decorative figurines.

This is the shop that I lingered around most. Why? Please read on.

The answer: banana Nutella crepes!

Another answer: cakes and desserts!

When I felt tired and wanted to laze around, there is nothing like having a chilled Coke by the waterfront, and light, of course!

Oops! How come there's a plate of mussels in Greek cheese and tomato puree beside the Coke?

Never mind! I can gobble it down in just a few minutes.

Another main course? This time round is the Greek sausage in Greek cheese and tomato puree.

Hmmm... This must be where the chefs get their tomatoes.

Oh no! I see food again! Should I roast them, deep-fried them, or stewed 'em? No you don't! These are Petros the Pelican who have been the mascot of Mykonos for over five decades.

Oh mama! I don't wanna be roasted, please take me home!
