Corfu was surprisingly warm today, around the mid 70s, which was warm enough for us to spend some time at the Aqualand water park. I've never been to a larger water park and we make is just in time before they closed for the winter. Me and my buddies played around until it began to get cool towards the late afternoon.

This morning we visited the ...

... I employed my Italian skills to find the right place to go. They employed their English skills to go where I went. Then there's the CA couple that I ate lunch with one day, that also were on the shuttle with us. There's the little Italian couple that I met at the Meringue Party, who I danced with the woman for 2 or 3 songs. There's the couple that sat on the balcony with me during the official cruise send off, who helped me climb up to the balcony -- okay, actually it was a ...

... three levels, 5, 6 and 7, for shopping, eating, drinking, lounges, and entertainment. Levels 8, 9, 10, 11 and parts of 12 and 13 are for sleeping cabins. Levels 15 and 16 have swimming pools, bars, spa pools, tennis court, mini golf, beauty spa, gym, kids club, disco and an often frequented gelato spot, which serves the biggest tubs we have seen yet.

Chris and Robyn are in a balcony suite on level eight and enjoy sitting watching the different ...

Had a loverly sleep in this morning whilst my fantastic crew cooked birthday bacon and egg sandwiches which were AMAZING (pretty impressive given all cooking was done in the boat's 'kitchen'). We also had champagne and juice and hung up balloons and streamers all over our party boat. It was so fun. It was the most beautiful sunny day, but not too hot and we sailed along for a bit before docking at this random pretty ...

... trip we began dedicating songs to Seb, like "You're simply the best" and "Another one bites the dust". The coastline was very beautiful though so it was nice to see, although I'm sure Seb wished he'd just gone the way he knew! He did an amazing job though and we did manage to get through the drive with no crashes or damage to the bus (which we all thought was pretty impressive and credit to Seb's awesome driving skills).

We'd also picked up a few new ...

... they spend a lot of time relaxing, because they live on an island. I have only one dislike. The water was too cold and dirty for my taste, but there are a lot of swimming pools around, so I didn't need to swim in the open. This journey was a fun journey and I will never forget it.

... much hilarity, I manage to follow some of it but would love to see it with English subtitles. Time for a nap, everyone's at it. Once I wake up Sula tries to bribe me to eat again, mmm! spaghetti with red sauce and beef, I fail, I can't eat anymore today. We pop out for one drink with Nikoletas friend Stella, I've already learnt this lesson and several hours later, one pub and one bazouki we settled down for the night, I say night, it was probably 3-4 am.

... shocked to see me, my Dickdad was convinced I would turn up and also my aunt had told my mother I would arrive as she was serving dinner. It was lovely to walk into the house and smell that cooking smell that can only be Christmas dinner, delicious, lunch was complete with brussel sprouts and the my mums speciality of homemade bread sauce. Pierre had a lovely time and really enjoyed his dinner as well. I had a great relaxing time with them, viewed all the ...

... tongues of flame swept across the hillside and there was a occasional flare-up as an unfortunate tree was consumed. A village lay in the path of the flames but, looking more closely, I realised it was an abandoned village. The houses had no roofs and the sandy coloured buildings blended immaculately with the scrubland setting. It must have been Old Perithea, abandoned by inhabitants fed up with being attacked by pirates back in the Byzantine era.

There were ...
