... of the Paleo Frourio, an old Venetian fort. That was pretty cool. Then, late this afternoon we went through the Archaeological Museum. We didn't spend much time here since it was close to closing time and we were all tired from the water park.<br><br>That evening though we ate at our first authentic Greek taverna, we found one playing Greek music ...

Hello Friends!!!<br><br>I'm torn between it being a relief and a disappointment that I now speak English freely among all the other English-speaking folks. (I'm on the cruise.) While there are over 40 countries represented by visitors, America absolutely took the cake by almost triple that of any other country. I also don't know whether I'm proud of that fact or embarrassed by it. You might say that I'm going through a patriotic self-crisis.<br><br>The cruise has been fan ...

We are on the MSC Musica at present cruising the Mediterranean. The blog is being written on the 13th floor of the ship with unobstructed views through floor to ceiling glass for as far as the eye can see. <br><br>Embarkment was at Bari &#8211; a city that will certainly have a claim to fame, but having been spoilt so far with the places visited, we put Bari into the run down, tied and not a necessary stop while in Italy category. The ship is huge; it ...

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.<br><br>As it was the friday before the ...

Then for the most food in the world both Ian ...

Got up and decided that I was not going to stay here for the 3 nights that we had booked and did not mention it to Ian but told Brian that we where checking out tomorrow instead of Friday, I just cant stand it and did not want to stay any longer could not shower or anything and needed to get some washing done but saw someones washing that had been done looking grey and dirtyier than before lol.<br><br>So told Ian that we where going to find ...

... the view which Ian kept trying to get me to come and see but I was feeling sick the room smelt of Wee and also mold as the walls in the bathroom where caked in it. I went to Brian to ask him to change the sheets and he said oh sorry really not bothered and said I will change your room so he tried to put us in a triple room with someone else and I was like no dont want to share and he was like NO why not!! We had ...

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.<br><br>Love to all,<br>Davo and Janet

... brown clouds in the white heat of the midday sun. From the monastery it was possible to see that a bush fire had started in the scrubby area covering the eastern face of the mountain. It had already consumed a large area of vegetation and was advancing on two fronts across the face. It seemed to have started next to a main road, where several fire engines were now positioned, and my guess is that a cigarette caused the blaze, tossed from a car window. Large ...
