Mykonos - Super Paradise Beach and Greek Night

We took a 30min boat ride to Super Paradise beach which is apparently a beach frequented by celebrities and paparazzi (after that infamous shot). We didn't see any such celebrities. Super Paradise was just like Paradise beach, but more super! We think the reduced number of skinny young kids made it better.

We spent the day soaking up the rays and admiring the crystal blue water and patches of sand amongst the pebbles. This time we were not in the family area of the beach, which meant Mick didn't have to walk along the beach to see nude people, he could do it from the comfort of the sun bed without risking burnt feet. As we were leaving Super Paradise, Damian stubbed his toe on the boat's ladder. He now has a dark purple toe, which makes it difficult to walk, and dance apparently!

That evening we went to Greek Night which was put on by a restaurant affiliated with out hotel. The very nice young girl who served us breakfast, Mihaela, was part of the entertainment and recommended that we go. We went, we ate way too much (who knew there was a limit to the amount of baklava someone could eat in one sitting!) and had a bit of a dance at Mihaela's request. Actually, Mick did all the dancing as Damian had a purple toe as evidence of his not being able to dance. At one point Mihaela stopped to watch Mick dance to work out why he was getting it so wrong. After a little bit of coaching, Mick changed his foot work, but still totally stuffed it. Mihaela stopped trying at that point and just let Mick continue doing his own style of Greek dancing. We left the restaurant at 11:30 and were glad when our heads hit the pillows.
