Day 31 Thursday 23 April 2015 Mykonos-Delos

We arrived at midnight and we could have taken a bus into the nightlife of Mykonos but we declined.  Apparently it is a bit of a magnet for those who bat for the other team.  Mykonos I mean, not the bus trip. We took a 30 minute boat ride to the island of Delos (Treasury of the Delian League) it was a wonderful experience to see where Marc Antony and Cleopatra stayed.  It would have been magnificent if Mithradates of Pontus hadn’t looted the place in the 2^nd Century.   In the 18 and 19^th centuries rich people would sail past and take statues, mosaics and artefacts.  With spring there are wildflowers growing among the ruins including poppies that stand out in brilliant contrast to the stones and marble. The museum is quite good and we could have spent another couple of hours on the island without any problems.  Except for the island’s guardians, no one lives on the island.  It was quite windy today but really the weather has been as close to perfect as possible the entire cruise. They dropped us back to Mykonos and we walked back to the buses that took us to the ship.
