Kavos Scrivas ApartHotel Corfu

... why I wasn't taking video sooner I'll never know. But I am now. However, I have to pay $0.60/minute for internet so I will probably wait to upload all the photos until the end of the trip when I'm at a regular internet place.

Hope you all are also having a fabulous and relaxing week. And if you're not, take a deep breath and remember, "We're all going to the same place. We're going to get there. Just relax." I'm hoping that was calming and not just morbid. :)

... there was another rally this time the Prime minister was making a speech in the square we decided not to hang around for it but went to collect our bags and go for some soulvakli.

The boat was due in at 9 but was late due to the weather conditions so we waited in the cafe at the harbour when we got there guess who was there only Brian and the American girls turned out they were getting the same boat as us. Brian was taking an unfortunate suspect back to scum ...

... back to the hotel and booked a really nice place in Sorrento with a swimming pool just hope its open the pool at this time of year and its only 7 days now till Danielle comes to meet us in Italy I am so excited to see her.

Met some English men travelling around there were about our age and they were dead nice so asked them did they want to come for a quick drink with us and we went for some wine. Then for the most food in the world both Ian ...

... Brian is not talking to me at all not that I am ***** Ian keep singing the Artic Monkeys song Brian top marks for not trying....so thats making me laugh. He said he works 20 hours a day but all I ever see him doing is sitting around watching the TV. The place could be so lovely if someone just was ***** to give it a brush around and a good bleaching because its in the most amazing spot. Next door is a five star hotel with a swimming pool all ...

... really fun and an aussie guy and a turkish guy. Oh there was one english guy sorry who had come out to do some work there on his computer to relax for a week.

The dinner was meant to be a 2 course greek dinner but we had a little greek salad with one cube of feta and an olive some bread then chicken and chips god knows how I ate it as the place is rank and I can only begin to imagine what the kitchen looks like.

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.

Love to all,
Davo and Janet

Still grey in a.m. Decide to move on: thinking of visiting Corfu, if weather good. En route to ferry port, call in on Dodoni - oldest site of religious worship in Greece. Miraculously, another Euro-free day!Oracle pre-dates Delphi; devoted to both Gaiaa & Zeus. Impressive C3rd BC amphitheatre - capacity of 17,000 - & whole setting very dramatic. Remote, though: you ...

... to the nearby church named Kommeno. This is a breathtaking church. No view could compare. Definitely a location to consider for the ceremony. We proceeded to act as if we were not excited about the place and asked many wedding questions pertaining to the facility. To our shock, we were told that the usage fee for our ceremony would cost one thousand euro. Now, this is a Greek Orthodox Church, and though it ...

... to use this little coloured token things, how annoying! Hung out with Adrie mostly (short for Adriana, she's another House music lover from Brisbane, hilarious chick! She always came out with the most outrageous calls and had the funniest phrases). The night ended with 5 of us, including Louis, piling into a taxi with THE CRAZIEST cab driver who I think was trying to beat a landspeed record! Matt thought it was ureal. I'm surprised we made it back to the resort in one piece!

... roadside vantage point. Turning off the engine for a moment, all I could hear was the sound of birds and the cicadas. Further up the road still, I passed through the village of Strinylas where elderly Greeks sat on chairs in the street and my passing was noted with interest. I raised my hand to a few of them by way of greeting and they returned the gesture with a smile. Still, I felt guilty about driving through, disturbing the peace with the engine's high ...
