... are very necessary, as the border formalities, filling out of numerous Arabic documents and other arbitrary checks take as much time in the chaos of the boarding. The only way to navigate this confusion is by employing two expensive fixers.

... 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.

... eating red onions. I know. I don't know what is happening. I can't figure it out.

Suffice it to say, I'm having a grand time. I've met some really nice folks around my age from the dinners. And there are all sorts of older couples that have taken a liking to me. And I see them all around the ship and they wave at me and ask how I'm enjoying the day just like best friends. They include the French couple I met when we were trying to find the right shuttle bus to the ...

... straight for the cable car queue. The compromise (after Robyn found out the cable car queue was an hour’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’s disgust the guy lifted him straight off his feet and planted him behind her as a pillion passenger. Next was Chris’s ride with Ryan planted in front of him. Their donkey ...

... on a chair no sleep with so many weird looking passengers seriously it was like the waiting room for hell.

So we tried and tried to get sleep but the crossing was terrible the boat was up and down and up and down. Just as I thought I was going to sleep this man came stumbling into the room with a cigarette and a cheap bottle of cider looking for his wife shouting her name when he found her he hit her over the head with the bottle and said some random things to ...

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 ...

... 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.

... after running around for this it took about 2hrs to get through. The road to our first stop was quiet good and we were starting to think that all the reports we had heard were a little exaggerated. We first stopped off at a place called the blue eye. It is a spring that is so deep they still haven't finalized a depth! The name comes from the way the spring looks with a deep blue colour in the middle and ringed with a light blue around the edges. The water was absolutely ...

... want, drink all you want, but never bring that **** into here" (thought they were dealing)
-stripped naked in room, searched, smacked around
-Mikey told to tell people he was asking about a job at the hostel if anyone asks why the men went to their room
-free drinks the rest of the night so that they didn't call the cops
-shortly after telling story, Mikey reveals that he frequently wets the bed and had done to the previous night

... kiosk selling English cigarettes where I was. 'Corfu', she replied without a hint of irony.

I wandered around aimlessly, holding my map under street lights when nobody was around, stumbling over broken pavements and harbouring a growing sense that we would be on the beach tonight. I was looking for 'Hotel Hermes', but whenever I asked anyone if they knew it I just received blank looks and a shrug of the shoulders. Eventually, up a side street, I found a ...
