20 Nafsikas Street Corfu, Ionian Islands, Greece, 2661-38996
Yasu from Greece!
We finally made it here after a long journey from Italy.
We left Rome yesterday morning, and drove about 4 hours until we reached Pompeii. It was pretty incredible... I've been learning about this place since forever in school, and getting to actually wander around and see the town pretty much as it was back in the day was amazing. Unfortunately none of the bodies were preserved in their original locations, but we got to see a few preserved ones behind glass, ...
Hellooooooo!
Corfu is basically amazing. This part of our trip is our "vacation while on vacation", meaning no lectures, museums, or death marches through ancient cities.
The town is right on the water, and is a cross between Venice and Venice Beach. Not too packed with tourists (thankfully), and not retarded hot like all the other places we've been. The first day we went to the pool and relaxed, then went and wandered around the town looking at all the little shops and stuff. ...
After 2 weeks of high intensity sightseeing, we took a few days off on the Greek Isle of Corfu. We enjoyed sightseeing in the old town, taking a boat cruise, doing some watersports, and most of all some much-needed R&R!
I was jarred awake this morning at an ungodly hour by the sounds of someone in my room yelling at me to wake up. "30 minutes until docking" he was yelling. The nerve of this guy to enter my cabin unannounced to wake me up. I was still able to hear him as he went down the hall yelling at all the other passengers to wake up. Not wanting to be left behind, I quickly ran in the shower and gathered my things. We docked in the port town of Igoumentisa. From here, we were to catch another ferry tha...
Corfu Town, Ionian Islands, Greece royv1It was another amazing breakfast this morning as we all stuffed ourselves silly in preparation for our full day on the water. We were all warned about George, the operator of the boat we were about to board. He was a perverted old man but was loads of fun and laughs. We got off the bus and walked towards the docks. I was wondering which boat we were going to get on. I saw this dinky little thing and was hoping that wasn't the boat. Sure enough, George was heading towards this boat. It was so...

... eating red onions. I know. I don't know what is happening. I can't figure it out.
Suffice it to say, I'm having a grand time. I've met some really nice folks around my age from the dinners. And there are all sorts of older couples that have taken a liking to me. And I see them all around the ship and they wave at me and ask how I'm enjoying the day just like best friends. They include the French couple I met when we were trying to find the right shuttle bus to the ...
We had a whole day of just hanging around Corfu town so we went for some breakfast and then picked up our laundry and popped back to the hotel to pack our bags. The weather is not so good today raining and a little cloudy so for the most part of the day we just mooched about shops and did some stuff on the internet. The batteries in the camera keep going so as soon as we can get some good ones then we will post the pictures.
As it was the friday before the ...

... facilities and I went over to see how much it was 106 euros a night for a room which isnt too bad its a really cool place somewhere I would like to stay rather than here its cruel torture seeing all that luxery next door when I have toe nails and hairs in the shower ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Anyways last night so had a few beers with everyone and a Greek dinner of pasta shapes with cheese grated on top ha ha with that special Greek salad again.
... minutes before we started timing it. We tried hitching a ride, but no luck. Len tried at a store to change the 50 Euros bill, no luck, I tried at another store, no luck. We found the bus stop and waited with a couple and their son. They didn't have any change either. More people came to wait for the bus, an older woman came to us and showed us the bus ticket price, we shook our heads yes we knew the price, she motioned towards the ticket and we shook our heads ...
Corfu, Greece dancejill... Police officer sat sleepily in a perspex booth. She was a young woman, her hair and makeup done up immaculately and her long nails painted. Aside from the brown uniform and in another city I might have assumed she was something other than a police woman. She spoke good English but, no, she had never heard of the Hotel Hermes and expressed doubt that I would find anywhere to stay at this time. I asked her where I could stay and she just shrugged; a gesture I was ...
