... Greek wine and their local Ouzo. I ate Pastitsia, a pie with layers of pasta and meat but I kept eating Stee's dinner of this fish cooked in peppers and onions. Vance doesn't do fish so he had a harder time with the menu options. Everyone was in a great mood so we ended up just sitting and talking and laughing and drinking and eating for quite awhile.

... I'm quite happy. Plus, I've been fighting this stupid head cold so I've enjoyed the excuse to stock up on soup (har har, stock up on soup). Oh, which reminds me. Because of the crazy swine flu they are taking all sorts of precautions, which is good. When we first arrived to check in we had to fill out a health survey. Because I had in fact been sneezing and coughing and had a runny nose and sore throat I had to check yes on the form. I was certain they were going to kick me ...

... stumbled onto his knees and nearly projected them headfirst onto the brick path. It then proceeded to veer towards every tourist who was walking, attempting to crush them against the rock wall. Much arm waving and untranslatable obscenities did nothing to deter this donkey from his mission. Between tourists he would attempt to wipe Ryan and Chris from his back by rubbing against every telephone pole. From several zig zags up the hill all Robyn could ...

Just a quick note. Spent a fabulous day on Corfu. This is what you think of when you think of Greece. We rented motor bikes and crusied the island. I will update more when we get back to Rome on Tuesday.

Love to all,

Had a loverly sleep in this morning whilst my fantastic crew cooked birthday bacon and egg sandwiches which were AMAZING (pretty impressive given all cooking was done in the boat's 'kitchen'). We also had champagne and juice and hung up balloons and streamers all over our party boat. It was so fun. It was the most beautiful sunny day, but not too hot and we sailed along for a bit before docking at this random pretty ...

... It was a nightmare, not helped by the incredibly impatient, rude, obnoxious Italian moped drivers. Those guys are CRAZY. And the ones in cars were worse. We had acquired quite a long line of traffic behind us, thanks to getting stuck at corners etc, and one lady actually stopped her car, got out, banged on Seb's window as he was trying to negotiate a corner and then got punched by some other crazy driver. It was all very stressful and dramatic so halfway through ...

There is a town north of Corfu and it's really cool, but it's a village in some way.Though, I did visit the Corfu town and I must say it is AMAZING. All those fortresses and fancy resturants and bars were a total hit! Everybody was so relaxed, people aren't that stressed at all. I ...

... by telling her travellers that I was a Kelvin Klien model doing a photo shoot on the island. Within minutes I was surrounded by the girls, competing for my attention, trying to answer 3 questions at once, while having to take abrasive comments from the macho boys on the bus. ªhey prettyboyº. It sucks being honest, not wanting to play along with their petty little ªon tourª games. I set the record straight before calling it a night, I didnºt need the attention with fresh ...

... which he said over and over was "Eeenglish good driver yes ?', to which I would reply 'Yes', and he would laugh and ask it again. Suddenly finding myself at his agency he demanded my driving licence and payment. I had left my wallet with Michelle, not knowing that this was going to be sprung on me. The way the rental man understood my protestations was that I didn't have a driving licence and I was protesting about paying. He flew into a rage until his assistant, a ...
