... but we also have our very own bathroom complete with a bleach white shower. Within seconds the warm water pours over my head – the cleanest and most pleasant shower of the trip.

Car:
Minutes after docking we drive off the ferry and are heading towards the centre of town for some sight-seeing.

What an experience! Welcome to Europe.

... 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.

... the boat, but turns out they just asked that I visit the on-board doctor during my first day. They gave me a flu swab which came back negative (phew!) and a complimentary consultation. The doc said I had a pretty legit case of sinusitis and provided some free meds. (Yes, Risa, I know you also provided meds but I didn't know what I had or what I was supposed to do with them. I'm dumb.) Anyway, so turns out I got a free International doctor's visit and prescription. Not many ...

... road to hail a woman who had just crossed with a lunch in her hands, he persuaded her to give it to him and we lurched off down the road with him holding a steaming bowl of potato stew in one hand and a large bun in another. In the interests of road safety Chris offered to nurse the stew – phew!!!! It was hot in Oia and the scenery spectacular, better than all the paintings and post cards depicting it. Even saw an Asian couple having their ...

... slow we were moving! So we spent the time hanging off the back of the boat and chatting and playing games and finally, fiiiinally arrived at shore what felt like hours later ha. That evening I had the most amazing barbecued prawns for dinner (and real proper huge prawns. SO good) and after dinner we went go karting at this random little go kart track in this tiny beach town in the middle of nowhere. It was so scary, like down this little dirt path and it was pitch ...

... 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 ...

There is a town north of Corfu and it's really cool, but it's a village in some way.Though, I did visit the Corfu town and I must say it is AMAZING. All those fortresses and fancy resturants and bars were a total hit! Everybody was so relaxed, people aren't that stressed at all. I ...

-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

... stop. We ended up spending 5 days here and we're waiting for the midnight ferry to Bari, Italy. The Pink Palace offered lots of activities. Day 1 we went on the booze cruise. There was cliff jumping from 50ft, swimming into a bat cave, the pink palace private beach and music and partying! Then at night we slept from about 7pm to midnight since we hadn't slept on the 8 hour busride to Corfu. Rallied at midnight to the PP Palladium (the ...

... to get into port as we had to come in one at a time but everyone was anchored in by 5pm. There was only one hitch and that was (surprise surprise) with John's yacht. This guy is a complete knob. He was the captain (because Mexico didn't want the role) and Danielle was the skipper. As they were coming into port, John told Danielle to drop the anchor. She didn't think it was time yet, but John pulled rank "I'm the Captain and you will listen to me" type ...
