Ostria Apartments Sidari

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 ...

... 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 ...

... it looked like they were kung fu kicking in slow motion and they walked like this for nearly half a block. Our thighs ached on their behalf.

Olympia next stop and we enjoyed sitting on the water’s edge at a café enjoying the scenery and atmosphere of the quaint seaside town.

Story continued on next blog, as either Robyn the official blog writer is writing too much or Chris the official blog photographer is taking too many pictures!!!!!!!!!!!!

... LEAVE ME. I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE ALL UP HERE" and we were like "umm Dave, you'd been up here and just went down to get your wallet" and he had zero memory of being at the restaurant at all...... And forgot to get his wallet. Fun times.

After dinner we kept escaping back to the boats for more drinks and chilling in this lounge area by the pool and then I got sung happy birthday too and bought birthday shots and Matt had even organised an ice-cream cake. So sweet ...

... 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 ...

... br>Het is adembenemend, het groen van Corfu en de grijze bergen van Albanië te zien scheiden door het kanaal.




Midden in het kanaal licht nog een plateau dat we op het laatste moment ontwaren en met de motor net kunnen omvaren, we zijn weer bij de les, Het is rond 15.30 uur als we de baai Ay Stefanos aan stuurboord voorbij zien gaan en haasten ons het zeil in te rollen om de ...

... 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.

... swimming and cliff jumping (worst kind whasname who wouldn't jump, potentially killed the entire vibe of the booze cruise)
Met L-Bow and Jess due to Bosh's inability to capture Jess's cliff jump on camera due to forgetting what she looked like
Bosh labelling some brown dude as an absolute zero and reiterating it constantly
Creepy Captain George offering a couple 300E each to have sex in the hull (not the first people to have been ...

Our next port was a bit of a mystery to everyone: Agioi Saranta, Albania, to visit the nearby Greek ruins at Butrint. In researching the other towns we'd visit, Saranta got a bit skipped since it's not in Greece, and hence not in my Greek travel books. So we show up in port and go, "oh yeah...Albania...they don't speak greek huh? Are they on the Euro yet?" No and no. This oughta be fun! Since Patrick and I didn't sign up for the 40 euro bus trip to the ...

... familiar with.

With weary resignation and in need of a good rest, I resorted to one last tour of the back streets to look for the hotel. And then I saw it. Not more than a stone's throw from the policewoman's booth, next door to a supermarket was Hotel Hermes. There were some steps to be climbed to gain access and at the top sat a small elderly man, sleeping. I coughed politely and asked in English if there were any rooms going. Startled at having been woken ...
