travel time and voltures

bambam:

here we go again..as im sitting at a nice airconditoned internet room at the pink palace,corfu!! this place is huge and its green! id begun to forget what trees looked like! its beautiful here! getting here was interesting though! we had one last day in athens before we travelled here on a bus that left at 8pm. so we wondered platka. an area with shops and food right below the acropolis! i had my first crepe! which was amazinggg banana n strawberry and nutella all heated up in a crepe omg delicious! im addicted! hana had one as well tho i think i remember eating the remander of it! lol i swear i didnt steal it! then we went on a mission to find an electronic store to buy hana an ipod charger..u would think in an area with millions of stores there would be lots...but no, after maybee 2 hours we finally found one!! now hana can finally charge her ipod! we then went up to the lookout point again at the acropolis! so beautfiul u can see everything from there!

we had an interesting experience from there! a man started talking to us,apollo. but not the greek god dammit! haha he was interesting (the self proclaimed "ladies man") haha so we chatted with him for an hour or so and he started to talk to another woman from greece,living in munich,eillen. the 4 of us sat on top of this rock and he was teaching us greek words and getting random people to take our picture! he explained to us why all greek men play with beads (u see it everywheree) he said its less work then playing with urself (if u catch my drift!) lol so funny

we all then decided to go for a beer and along the way picked up a girl from turkey! (how apollo randomly does this i dont know! ) so we all jsut sat down at a cafe n chatted. it was soo interesting talking to the girl from turkey,giselle, she is studying abroad in greece and getting her masters. in turkey u cant travel anywhere without getting a visa. and its not easy. alot of poeple go to school to become teachers and docters just so they can leave the country freely. it was really eye opening to how lucky we canadians really are! meeting people from other countries is really interesting, how different we all are but so similar in some ways! (one interesting one-in denmark - u can drink at 16 legally but red bull is illegal and OREOS! were illegal until 2 years ago! so crazyy!

nexttt was the bus ride.,leave athens at 8pm arrive in corfu 530am. in a perfect world. in our worldd we got stuck behind a hugee accident for 2 hrs missed our ferry and arrived at 930am!! fanntastic. buses are so so comfortable to sleep oN! lol but we arrived safe and sound, they gave us a shot of ouzo for our trouble n sent us to breakfast! haha only in greece

so last night was offically our first night in corfu! dinner and breakfast are included so we went to dinner and its on a balcony outside over looking the sunset i swear the sky was purple after it was beautiful. they serve u your food, last night was salad bread and chicken potatoes and green beans! pretty decent!! and it wasnt tzatiki, agaiN! haha (little sick of greek food)

after dinner u go downstairs and its a bar with a huge dancefloor! last night was the togo party, so they give u a pink sheet and u figure out a way to wear it and go dancing! everyonne wears one, the boys dont cover much skin here!! we danced drank and then they had some entertainment! greek dancers and plate smashing!! i had a plate smashed on my head and was givin a shot of ouzo! lol after more dancing and thattss when the voltures came out!!
so there was 5 girls. we met 2 girls from toronto(one orginally from richmond) and another girl from kelowna! we decided to go dance and we were attacked,swarmed,mobbed,crushed,grabbed,surrounded, by italian men! we've never everr experieced anything like this!! it was unbelievable! i seriously felt like that tiny piece of bread the pigeons all fight over! it was ridiculous we literally had to go sit back down! dancing after that was interesting, we were much more aggressive, if u push hard enough they go find another piece of bread elsewhere!! haha
breakfast this morning was decent eggs and toast then we layed out on the beach alllll day. readding and swimming it was so relaxing! and its bloody hot here i love it!! the pink palace is pretty cool. our room could be bigger,cleaner,not have bunkbeds! butt at least we have airconditioning and a real shower!! im learning not to be so picky! we really are so lucky and are having the best time!
tomorrow BOOZE CRUISE! cliff jumping bat caves and snorkeling! here were come!!
