... 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 ...

... 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.

... He thinks he has weathered better over the last 40+ years. Got back to our driver and found our laundry bags missing, he had taken it upon himself to find another laundry &#8211; such a nice man with initiative. Then set off to see the first Olympic marble stadium, more temples, and more ruins. The highlight was the President&#8217;s Palace where we saw the changing of the guards. When the change occurred, their movements were something ...

... Everyone on the boat was being sick in the toilets in the sick bags it was vile and even the staff on the boat were at it. Anyways was looking at Ian and he had gone a funny colour next minute he grabbed the sick bag and was really ill. I could not help it but was laughing while I was rubbing his back but the noices where making me and Katy ill couldnt look at him. We finally docked at Bari a whole 14 hours later and I swear I am never ever doing a boat ride like that again.

... the hostel which was down a really steep cliff no way of getting back up to the village apart from walking so I dont think I will be seeing much of the island! Although the view down to the sea and the little fishing harbour is amazing we sat why Brian went off to find us a room. This is when all the fun started the place is like a run down hovel they have a swimming pool which is not finished with old toys and ...

... for quite some time. Elsewhere we had got used to being pestered to buy trinkets. Not here, here it was straight begging. Sad to see how so many neighbours had succeeded, whereas years of communist dictatorship had reduced a beautiful coastline and people to what we saw.

... well as in Greece) where they do speak some english, and take Euros. I pick up my new favorite: an Amita juice box (pear), as well as some fresh made pseudo-Baklava that they give us for free! Back down the road, we pass some adorable little boys practicing their english at us: "Hello! Do you speak english?" and "Where are you going?"...to which I shrug and reply "we don't know!"
