We love Greece! (Corfu at least)

Hi from Nicole, Emilie's official traveling mate!

We have been in Corfu, Greece since early Friday morning. We look a 7 hour night ferry from Brindisi, Italy to the island of Corfu. Needless to say, we slept a few hours, and had the pleasure of experiencing roudy Aussie travelers. Those kids party hard! (Literally, we left at 9pm Thursday night, and they were still drinking at 7:00am Friday morning)

We have been staying at Corfu's infamous "summer camp without supervision" called The Pink Palace. While I recommend it for it's price and aneminities (Included in the price= home made breakfast and 3 course dinner, day time adventure rentals such as kayaks, scooters, 4 wheelers, 'booze cruise', and lots of beautiful people!), the crowd attracted here leans more on the young partying type. Everyone is very friendly though, and we have had a great time.

After we arrived Friday morning (took 3 hours to check in, oye!), we slept for about 3 hours, then headed out to kayak to a nearby rock formation south of our hotel. The kayaks were super fun, and we enjoyed the little cove we found.

Yesterday, we rented a moter scooter, and scooted around Corfu! The island is pretty small, but we were gone for pretty much all day. No problems navigation wise, and Emilie was a fabulous driver! (I tried to rent one too, but haven't ever been on a scooter and haven't been on a bike since elementary school, so it would've been BAAAD with all of Corfu's hills!)

Today we spent ALL day at the beach because we had to check out of our room by 9am. We are both turning lovely shades of brown (and maybe a little red)! We both just had fantastic massages, and are feeling very relaxed to enjoy another home cooked dinner, and a LONG ferry too Athens. We will be in Athens tomorrow morning, then the following day be on our way to the other Greek island of Santorini.

Cheers!
