... 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.

... tastic. Truly, it's been great.<br><br>When I arrived in my room I had a momentary hiccup where I just was so sad. I hadn't really missed Larry or felt home sick too much during the trip, but for some reason, on the cruise, in the room by myself, I just broke down. BUT. I told myself, "Josie, you are here and you're alone. But you're here." From that point on it was, pardon -- or don't, the pun, smoooooth sailing.<br><br>I had a FABULOUS welcome treat in my room in the form ...

... I ordered about 4 meze each there was so much yummy food we had local sausage, cheese pies, saganaki of course, meatballs, fried shrimps and salad, tziki, break and wine all for 30 euro. We then went for a walk to the Listern its a street made of marble and all bars with seating along it where the people who want to be seen go so we sat there and watched the people walking past all glamourous ladys in amazing shoes and clothes its a cool place Corfu town.

... in Corfu town where there is a little bit more going on. He was ok with it and we decided to just get on with the day. Ian wanted to walk up to a little villiage at the top of the hill and after Meteroa I said he was welcome to go on his own and I would go to the beach and wait for him.<br><br>The beach was amazing it was so hot the hottest day and I just kept reading my book and going for a swim in the sea it was so calm and you could see ...
