After waking up at noon, we decided to go to the beach again around 2PM. It was a slow start but we knew we were in for a long night. We then headed over to Mykonos Town for a souvlaki pita at Jimmy's. It was only 2.50Euros and had such fresh tzatziki sauce and even had a few french fries stuck in there. We walked around some of the higher end shops and stopped to watch one of the football matches being broadcast. We knew Greece was playing in the evening and wanted to plan dinner so we could watch and eat at the same time.
Unfortunately, when we went to Atlandida for dinner, there was no TV in the dining area! But because we love the food there so much, we just got up periodically to check out the screen in the hotel lobby. This time we ordered a Greek Salad, some grilled xoloumi cheese, grilled calamari, and some spaghetti with mussels. To drink, we ordered a 16Euro bottle of red wine. All of a sudden, we hear banging, music, and see sparks coming out of the kitchen. We had NO IDEA it was for my birthday but it was. I don't think we've paid for one dessert or shot on this island and we've received so many! The waiter left us 1/4 bottle of Greek cinnamon spirit similar to Ouzo, too. We couldn't even finish our wine! But we had to catch the midnight bus into Mykonos Town to continue the party...
T&M surprised me by paying for all my drinks and cab fare for the night! We ended up at Scandanavian Bar first because we got free shots coupons, but it was not too happening when we first appeared. T&I did spot a ridiculously good-looking bartender on the far side of the bar. We decided we had to come back. We then went to Bar Down Under for more free shots, courtesy of the guy who showed us where it was. He was working for Jacuzzi, which was down the street and he was nice enough to show us into another bar! Oh Greeks! These Albanian guys then start dancing with us. They kind of reminded me of "A Night at the Roxbury" starring Will Ferrell and Chris Kattan. They bought us shots, of course, but then the bar scene quickly fizzled. We convinced them to go back to Scandanavian Bar, so they followed. Fortunately, the bouncer wouldn't let them in! We were getting tired of them, since we didn't really want to dance with them and one had taken a liking to M (he also had bad BO). We just needed to separate. Of course T&I decide we NEED to be at the far end of the bar where the hot bartender was. We find out his name is SPIROS and he is 28. He was so good at his job and serious! When Kristian told us about Greek God Adonis-type of men on Mykonos, he must have been talking about guys like Spiros! Of course, he served me a shot for my bday... they love shots here. After heading out of Scandanavian Bar, we run into Thasos, our waiter from the night before. He takes us to this other bar, which was totally a gay bar. He told us he was engaged to a girl, yet he hangs out at a gay bar?! Our other waiter from the octopus place was there, too! It must be the thing to do for straight males in Greece... Case in point, even though we were at a gay bar, the guys there were more aggressive with us than anywhere else we've ever been!! I don't think we were there for very long, but the time we headed for a taxi was around 4AM. Mykonos lived up to its partying reputation and now we are spent... Back to Athens tomorrow :(
