Travel Day: Madrid to Mykonos

We made it to Mykonos! It was a rough start. We were all running off of 3-4 hrs of sleep. We started our day with coffee and food. cole and I tried subway, but there was really no difference, except way cheaper. We walked around the city for a bit and did some shopping. We then went to the most recommended place in Madrid, Takos. It opened at 1. We got there at 12:30 and there was already a pretty decent line. It was so good, but it almost came at a price. Our flight was supposed to takeoff at four and we did not plan accordingly. The 2 euro tacos almost became we more expensive, as waiting for them made us leave for the Metro around 1:30 and the ride to the airport was around 45 minutes. I have zero pictures from this part, as we had much bigger things to worry about. The train was so packed that we all had to scramble onto different parts of the it. Freeman and Declan do not have international phone plans, so they had no connection. Since we were separated, they did not know where to get off. Long story short, they didn’t get off when they were supposed to, so we had a fiasco getting reconnected with them. So, the train trip turned into over a well over hour and we all thought we were missing our flight. Luckily, bag checks were super short and we made it to our plane 10 minutes before boarding. Talk about an adrenaline rush! Our flight was smooth! We got off on the tarmac, which was a first. We arrived in Mykonos around 10 and our Airbnb host had a driver waiting for us. We went to a restaurant that was a 3 minute walk from our airbnb and had yummy Greek food. We finished the night with Greek beer and a cigar that Declan brought. A hectic day finished with a chill night. So glad we made it!Lue lisää
