Pelekas Beach Corfu

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. <br><br>This morning we visited the ...

... bumped and pushed and cut in front of and argh. It's like, ya'll, we're going to the same place. Relax. We're going to get there. Ugh. But, I'm trying to forgive and be forgiven. But I have to admit I've cursed like 19 of them prior to the whole forgiving thing. <br><br>Tonight was our first formal night. It was really fun. I absolutely loved seeing all the older folks dressed up. So many of them went all out with tuxes, or 'old-person' ruffled suits and bow ties. And ...

... straight for the cable car queue. The compromise (after Robyn found out the cable car queue was an hour&#8217;s wait) was a donkey ride up the zig zag path. Robyn only just got on her donkey before it took off at full speed. Olivia was on next and much to Mitchell&#8217;s disgust the guy lifted him straight off his feet and planted him behind her as a pillion passenger. Next was Chris&#8217;s ride with Ryan planted in front of him. Their donkey ...

... in albanian and she got up and went with him. Nuts! Also this man was asleep on a chair near us and he kept hacking up chest stuff and spitting it on the floor. We could have upgraded to a cabin but it would have cost an extra 50 euros so we had to rough it out. And rough is exactly how the see got worse and worse till in the end at like 7am the man came around and gave everyone sick bags we had one between me Katy and Ian and was wondering who was going to use it first ...

Got laundry together and took it to be washed so going to get clean clothes tomorrow stop me feeling grotty as ran out of underwear ha ha.<br><br>Corfu Town is really nice a bit touristy but that ok there are lots of winding roads and stuff selling all sorts of fun things got some fake Gucci sunglasses as I have ...

... facilities and I went over to see how much it was 106 euros a night for a room which isnt too bad its a really cool place somewhere I would like to stay rather than here its cruel torture seeing all that luxery next door when I have toe nails and hairs in the shower ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh<br><br>Anyways last night so had a few beers with everyone and a Greek dinner of pasta shapes with cheese grated on top ha ha with that special Greek salad 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 ...

... When there was 2 mins to go I went into overdrive and just stuffed things in quickly and did a quick room check. Checked out and found out breakfast was not included for that morning but David and I were defiant and headed down anyways after one last OCD check of the room that I suggested. I threw the sheets off the beds and all over the room and David thought the maid suspected we were thieves raiding the room!Ok so ...

I cannot think of enough good things to say about Corfu. After the way we dashed through Italy, it was a perfect chance to hang out for a couple of days without worrying about what we might miss if we stopped for a nap. We got in exhausted from the overnight ferry to find a beautiful hotel on the side of a cliff with stunning views of the clear blue water. Our rooms were way up the hill above the hotel. The scary stairway went on and on and on until it finally ...

<br><br> August 23rd - Corfu, Greece<br><br> It was almost midnight by the time we stumbled into the sweaty throng on the dock at Corfu Town. Hundreds of people buzzed around in the excitement of the scene, many of them backpackers. Despite the hour, the air was muggy and close and it was unpleasant to carry the gear. Michelle sat on a concrete pedestal beside a group of high-spirited Italians while I set off to find somewhere for us to stay.<br><br> I had one place in ...
