Day 7 - We're TRAPPED

Ahhhhhh 10am ferry means we get up at 8:30, stroll downstairs for a nice breakfast of honey and cake and sandwiches before we slowly make our way to the Ferry port at 9:15 giving us over 45mins to relax whilst waiting for our ferry. We cab it to the port and drag our luggage to the wharf. There are two massive ferries already at the port. Looking at our ferry tickets, our ride was called the Sea Jet 2. A hydrofoil that is basically a smaller boat but it also means that it can travel alot faster. Looking around we don't see any hydrofoils. We walk to the other end of the port and we see nothing. There was also no one at the port. Strange. Hmmmmmm it was then we realised that there are TWO ports. The new port and the old port. We assumed that we will be departing from the new port. With the old port half way around the island, we decided to run to the nearest travel agent and confirm where our ferry was.

Moishii had left me with all the luggage whilst he trekked up the hill to ask for some directions. At this point, 3 massive dogs run towards me and surrounds me. One of the dogs had a blue eye and a brown eye. This was reminding me of the evil one eyes woman in Athens. Coincidence? Whilst the evil crazy eyed dog sat 1m away from me, the other one started circling our luggage like it was deciding where to pee on it. The other dog was busy trying to attack another man who eventually managed to run away. As I was defending our luggage from being peed on (Don't ask me why because he was only sniffing at Moishii's suitcase anyway) Moishii walks back. Actually, he can barely walk because he was trying hard not to laugh at the image of me standing in the middle of an empty port surrounded by suitcases and 3 dogs. I also noticed he had a look that suggested that he was suffering from anal leakage. He walks up to me and starts laughing at my face and trying to shoo the dogs away. When I eventually got his attention, he said he had news and he didn't know how to break it to me.

"The boat is on the other side of the island isnt it?"
"Due to weather conditions, all ferries have been cancelled"
"...."
"......"
"You're kidding right?"
"No...."
*Ear splitting scream* ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
*Jumps up and down screaming and stomping the floor and kicking the suitcase*

After letting the news sink in, we headed to the tourist information centre to try and score some cheap accomodation. We quickly book a room smack bang in the middle of the town at a good rate and started dragging our luggage in that direction. Half way across town did we think to call our tour company. Well DUH. After multiple phone calls and numerous wrong numbers, we finally manage to contact them who told us that they will be arranging accomodation for us in Mykonos. They also asked if we can go to the local travel agents to see if we can book a flight or any other ferries off the island. Moishii set off to the local travel agent as I sat at the town square with all our luggage when I met this New Zealand couple who was also trapped on the island. However, they found out much earlier than us that the ferries were cancelled and managed to book a flight to Athens. I started talking with them which was when they told me that the weather has been beautiful in the island and the parties were happening everywhere until a few days ago when the weather started turning bad and people started leaving. A few days ago......that was when we arrived on the island!! SCREWED!!

Anyway, all flights were booked and we were trapped. Luckily we had accomodation. Infact, we had double accomodation. Therefore it was my mission to go back to the tourist information centre to try and get a refund on our deposit. I went back to the woman and put on some sob story about how our tour company refuses to reimburse us for accomodation that we booked because we could be upping the price and ripping them off rar rar and I looked like I was going to throw up on her if she didn't give me a refund. I went back to Moishii with the refund in our pocket when I realised that in our rush to pack the night before, we had decided to dump half a bottle of vodka because we didn't want to risk it leaking all over our clothes. WE MUST GET BACK TO THE HOTEL PRONTO! We cabbed it back and rushed to the reception where the guy gave us our same room back which was yet to be cleaned. WE SAVED OUR BOTTLE OF VODKA!!

Dumping all our luggage, we had nothing to do and headed into town. Along the way we stopped by the exchange woman's place to have a chat with her as to what day tours we could do. We found out that we had missed every single tour of the day!!!! Not only we were stranded, we had nothing to do!!! Moishii got so pissed off that he declared "I'm having sex tonight!". In frustration, we ran to the nearest phone booth and called Cherry where we left her a very nice message.

"You suck! We're trapped on this bloody island because of you! All ferries have been cancelled! YOU CURSED US!! This if your fault! I'm never going to forgive you!!"

We felt so much better after that call. We headed to the 24hr cafe that was only open 12 hrs a day and ordered ourselves more authentic toast and coffee. I decided that we should go sit in the corner so we can hide because of the whole *Insert J incident* but I ended up screwing myself over because we were *Insert J Incident again*!!!!!!! FARKKKKKKKK This was NOT a good day!

Following the advise of the exchange woman, we bused it to Ornos which supposedly had a great beach and lots of things to do. We arrived at Ornos only to see a beach. And more beach. There were 2 problems here.

1. We didn't have our swimming costumes with us
2. Even if we did, the freakin wind storm that cancelled all ferries in the first place did not allow us to sunbake without us losing our skin. And the best bit? Theres no buses for another other. We took a few happy snaps and sat around the bus stop waiting for our bus. It was late. There were a group of people milling around waiting for a bus that won't show up. Moishii decided to wander around when a taxi pulled up near the bus stop. A woman gets into the cab, then she yells at me "Are you going to Mykono City Centre?". And before we could reply, she slammed the door in my face and they drove off. FFS!!!! WHAT IS WITH YOU PEOPLE!? Do I have "SLAM YOUR FUCKIN DOOR IN MY FACE" Tattooed across my chest or something? Why even bother asking if you didn't want an answer? Were you scared I was going to jump into the taxi and slap your boobs around or something!? FFS! Anyway, I would never do anything like that! Moishii will be the one playing drums on your chest you slut!!!

*Deep breaths* The bus finally rocks up after being 15mins late. Its like 15mins from one side of the island to the other side! God knows why they took so long! We were only around the corner! After almost having our clothes blown off, we made it back to town just in time to do a bit of shopping. We managed to bump into Petros again. Ahhhh the womaniser! He was surrounded by chicks who absolutely adore him! Took me ages to get his attention. Suddenly, out of no where this turkish guy burst out from a restaurant and starts screaming and smacking Petros for trying to steal food from the restaurant? WTF? Petros, in the confusion ran and hid in the kitchen where he was welcomed with open arms! Pffft damn turkish guy didn't know what he was on about! He had no right to treat Petros like that!! BASTARD! We continued to walk around since Petros was in hiding and we saw this restaurant that was packed to the brim with people. They must have good food! I ran up the hill to have a look at their menu. All of a sudden this guy runs out and grabs me and starts talking to me. I had no idea what was going on! Was there an assassin? Is he grabbing onto me so he can throw me out of the way of a bullet? I got spun around whilst he kept babbling on about something. Then I saw him waving at Moishii who was capturing the whole thing on film! FFS! What type of sicko sees me getting grabbed and films it instead of saving me? I managed to break free and we made a ran for it.

This was when the whole $40 woman thing occurred. We also bumped into the constipated woman and also the crazy hat woman! This was also the same day when the OJ incident occurred! OMG!!!! I JUST REALISED I HAD THE DOOR SLAMMED IN MY FACE 3 TIMES IN ONE DAY!!! ARE YOU GUYS TRYING TO TELL ME SOMETHING!? ITS NOT LIKE I DON'T WANT TO GET OFF THE ISLAND! YOU GUYS CANCELLED THE FREAKIN FERRIES!! DEAL WITH IT!!!

UGH! We need to blog! We ended up at an internet cafe were we spent $20AUD for blogging for 1 hour! WTF? I could buy a kidney for $20!! I've had it! Back to the hotel for siesta time!!!

I've had it with Greek food. Considering we were paying on average $40-$60 a meal, we tend to opt for the cheaper dishes which had very similar themes. Grilled meat. Egg plants. Tomatos. Oil. I was going to throw up if I had anymore "Greek" food. Italian it was! Wandering the streets with our saved bottle of vodka, we crash into the downstairs of the Skandinavian bar. I decided that I needed something else besides Vodka OJ (Since we finished all of it and we weren't even tipsy). A shot of B-52 should sort me out. Someone wanted to be difficult and told the bar tender that they didn't want anything and when my drink came, decided that they wanted the exact same thing. A few shots later, we staggered out of the bar and upstairs where they were playing some screwed up 70s? 80s? alternative music. I didn't even know how to move! When I tried to boogie, I look like someone had shove a crab down my pants and a cat down my shirt and started beating me with a cactus! This was not going to work. To spice up the night, we decided to go to Bar Porta. Yep. Rememer bar Porta? With the rainbow flags? Well we're pussies ok? We walked back and forth outside the door about 5 times and couldn't go in. More B-52s. Nope! Can't get myself to go in. We wander around so we didn't look like total dickhead walking past Bar Porta nonstop and somehow ended up at the Veranda bar. You think our $15 vodka orange juice was expensive? This place was selling them for $30! We sat down and had the menu shoved in our face. I tried to stall the waitress whilst someone took happy snaps of the great view we had. This was when I noticed that we were getting followed *Insert Incident GG*. Not good! We made a run for it. Which was when *Insert incident FG*.

Having no where else to go, we headed back to the Skandinavian bar hoping the music was better. Nopes. We didn't even have to go upstairs to tell half of the people have left cos of their shit music that night. We had no other alternative. Head up, chest high, buttocks tight. We walk into Bar Porta. We found ourselves a stool and sat in the corner. 5min timer starts........NOW. I think we lasted a total of 2 minutes before we bolted out of there. I give up.....we heading towards the cab stand since we were waking up early tomorrow in hope to get off the island. Guess what? No cabs. What a day..........
