The Park Hotel Gouvia

... engine room. There is a very dingy area below deck where the one meal of passage is served…luckily we still had a package of biscuits. Water ran out after a couple of hours….

ETA (estifmated time of arrival):
The ferry is scheduled to take 17hours. We ended up being on board for 23 hours - from boarding to departure. Three of these hours being spent squeezed between hundreds of sweating people trying to push through the exit ...

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 ...

... and not at all a balcony. Hence needing help climbing.

And then. There are all those people that just annoy the **** out of me. I'm telling you what, "Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us." is crossing my mind about 20 times a day. It's like everybody wants to be the first one on the bus, the first one off the bus, the first one in the buffet line, the first one in the signup line, the first one... you get the picture. I keep ...

... as they change along the route. Ryan, Mitch and Olivia have a sea view cabin on the same level; well they would see the sea if not obstructed by a massive lifeboat. They spend most of their time in R and C's cabin anyway so benefit from that view. The boys have found the games rooms thus disappear frequently. They have charmed a crew member at the bursar’s office and get far more chips in exchange for money than they should. Chris has ...

... 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 ...

... to break 2 pairs on this trip already and we walked down to the harbour to get some tickets for the boat to Italy it was really cheap only 23 euro to get there so thats booked for tomorrow. Jen tell Antonio that we are going to Bari now instead of Brindisi so I will see his home town :)

Got some really nice Gyros for lunch again ha ha bought Heat magazine to get up to date with all the rubbish gossip and sat and relaxed for an hour or so ...

... 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.

Typical day: breakfast, beach, swims, Mythos, gyros, nap, dinner (sit with a bunch of different people every night, they can become your best friends rather quickly), pint slaying, stairs/reception or nightclub

June 21: The Pink Palace - Day of Dreams #4 (aka Day of Smead)
Corfu, Ionian Islands, Greece iansmitty

... along the Adriatic Sea and into a small town nearby before returning to relax some more. Then, late that evening, it was Pink Toga Party Time Both Tammy and I (along with probably the majority of people staying there) all dressed up for the Toga Party. Tammy and I missed some of the earlier festivities since we were catching up on some rest, but none the less had a wonderful time with drinks in hand ...

... along the newly revamped promenade.

Between the promenade and the seafront is the most unlikely thing. A cricket pitch. Apparently it was put there by the British who, leaving the island, left a passion for cricket amongst the locals, who still play games in a small league. Alongside the cricket pitch are the ornamental gardens known as The Spianada, where trees provide cover for walkers and parked motorbikes alike.

We walked by the seafront along ...
