Update from Mykonos

We on our last day at Mykonos....boohoo!!!! We have really had a great relaxing time on the island. Went to the amazing & famous Nammos restaurant on Psarous beach last night.  The restaurant is right on the beach in a little bay about 10 minutes out of Mykonos town. We took our little Jeep over with the Irish couple following on their Quad bike. The restaurant doesn't open until 10.30 pm!! so you are really dining late at this one!! Its all the rich and famous wannabes of Mykonos here... they even have a small speed boat that picks guests up from their private yachts in the bay. Theres a little Indian man who welcomes you to the toilets then turns on the taps and passes the paper towels to you then opens the bin for you.....I know what your thinking but no he doesn't do the other bit for you!! Apparently Gadaffis son dined here with some friends a few months ago and left with a 10 k bill!!! It was pretty pricey, bottles of water 7 euros and  complimentary but compulsory bread 6 euros per head before you start!!!!You get abit used to spending in Euros that feel like dollars after awhile so I tried not to think about the shock when I get the visa bill on a wet august day once home- and everything is doubled!!.
Anyway as abit of a foodie it was on the bucket list.
