Sunshine Vacation Club Corfu Nissaki

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 ...

... I'm quite happy. Plus, I've been fighting this stupid head cold so I've enjoyed the excuse to stock up on soup (har har, stock up on soup). Oh, which reminds me. Because of the crazy swine flu they are taking all sorts of precautions, which is good. When we first arrived to check in we had to fill out a health survey. Because I had in fact been sneezing and coughing and had a runny nose and sore throat I had to check yes on the form. I was certain they were going to kick me ...

... not seem to worry the police in Italy, Greece, New York or in fact any where except NZ) to drive to the stunning village of Oia, a Greek village characterized by narrow streets and white house and churches with blue domes (learned that the blue domes are Greek Orthodox Churches and the white domes are Catholic ones) &#8211; it offers breath taking views over the Gulf of Santorini. As we approached the village the taxi driver stopped in the middle of ...

... Everyone on the boat was being sick in the toilets in the sick bags it was vile and even the staff on the boat were at it. Anyways was looking at Ian and he had gone a funny colour next minute he grabbed the sick bag and was really ill. I could not help it but was laughing while I was rubbing his back but the noices where making me and Katy ill couldnt look at him. We finally docked at Bari a whole 14 hours later and I swear I am never ever doing a boat ride like that again.

... I ordered about 4 meze each there was so much yummy food we had local sausage, cheese pies, saganaki of course, meatballs, fried shrimps and salad, tziki, break and wine all for 30 euro. We then went for a walk to the Listern its a street made of marble and all bars with seating along it where the people who want to be seen go so we sat there and watched the people walking past all glamourous ladys in amazing shoes and clothes its a cool place Corfu town.

... in Corfu town where there is a little bit more going on. He was ok with it and we decided to just get on with the day. Ian wanted to walk up to a little villiage at the top of the hill and after Meteroa I said he was welcome to go on his own and I would go to the beach and wait for him.<br><br>The beach was amazing it was so hot the hottest day and I just kept reading my book and going for a swim in the sea it was so calm and you could see ...

Up early again to get the first bus of the day to Ionnia then on to Igoumenitsa then a ferry over to Corfu everything went according to plan and we made connections without to much waiting around when we got to the ferry port the ferry was leaving in 10 mins so that was a bonus. Its really hot still around 26 degrees most days so enjoying the warm weather and the Greek lifestyle. Apart from being bit ever five minutes ...

Just a quick note. Spent a fabulous day on Corfu. This is what you think of when you think of Greece. We rented motor bikes and crusied the island. I will update more when we get back to Rome on Tuesday.<br><br>Love to all,<br>Davo and Janet

I returned to spend my last Greek night in Corfu old town, and spent the following day dodging the worsening weather and working out how I could reach my next destination, Dubrovnik. Overland through Albania was an option, but I didn't fancy the possible security, but it was attractive as the only other route was via Italy, as there are (rather ...

... and we were resigned to the fact that if it was closed or full we would have to sleep on the beach slightly out of the town. I walked through Customs, which didn't look like it had been open or even operational for a long time and was now slowly turning into a snack bar. The busy streets outside the port were full of barking dogs, one of which was attempting to bite the wheels off passing cars. Scooters roared past and bars, fast food shops and ticket agencies were ...
