Hellinis Corfu

... are available for passengers to enjoy a beverage from the very extensive menu. The first palatable white wine in ages goes down well as we consider our new and very modern environment. A cinema, casino, restaurant, wifi, pool and dancing area are also available to pass the time if you so wish. The kind lady at the ticket office also happened to give us a cabin for the price of a deck passage. On board, a very friendly and gallant gentleman shows us ...

... 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.

... pool. (Yes. Laps. What?) And today, day three, not only did I take a spinning class (who the hell AM I?!?!?!?) I spent $70 on makeup. W-H-A-T? Seriously, I don't know what Europe is doing to me. Don't get me wrong, I like it. I like the heck out of it. But sometimes I just look in the mirror and laugh at myself and what I'm doing. Oh. And. I found out that I maybe do like red onions after all. I can not tell you the number of times I gagged like a 3-year-old when I'd see ...

... as they change along the route. Ryan, Mitch and Olivia have a sea view cabin on the same level; well they would see the sea if not obstructed by a massive lifeboat. They spend most of their time in R and C's cabin anyway so benefit from that view. The boys have found the games rooms thus disappear frequently. They have charmed a crew member at the bursar’s office and get far more chips in exchange for money than they should. Chris has ...

... stopped at a reef late morning and swam with the fish and tried to snorkel and lounged on our pool toys and just had a generally nice time. Spent the rest of the day sailing along and chatting with the crew and then had our big sailing race back to Plateria, where we'd set sail from on the first day. It was all very intense....... except for the fact that there was zero wind. It was ridiculous. I think someone actually jumped off their boat and swam beside it - that's ...

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 ...

... 2 lanes with a shoulder on each side. They drive on the shoulder and then pass on the main lane on their side of the road. Different. He did stop and picked up a woman and then a man got on at the break stop. We bought some strawberries from a roadside stand at the break. They were perfect, clean and juicy. Couldn't have asked for anything better, we really enjoyed them. The bus stopped at the port of Igoumenitsa where we got ...

... anders moet je de entree voor het bezichtigen van het kasteel betalen. Dat krijgen wij dus mooi gratis. We maken een weddenschap. Als er niemand naast ons komt liggen, kiest Janwillem vanavond waar we eten, als er wel iemand komt liggen bepaalt Esther welk restaurant het wordt. Het lijkt er vaak op dat er boten er willen gaan liggen maar uiteindelijk is Janwillem toch de gelukkige. Als we 's avonds tussen de restaurantjes lopen worden we overal naar binnen gelonkt ...

... shopping of the trip and bought a little silver bracelet - you know me, I'm a sucker for silver jewelry. Everything's so cheap, too - lunch only cost me 2.20 euros. Then we went to the beach briefly. The beach here in front of the hotel isn't all that special - it's kinda rocky and there are sea urchins so we had to wear our shoes in the water - but it was adequate for today. And the water felt great. Tonight we ...
