Yay we eventually made it to Corfu! After sitting in the port for hourssss the boat finally arrived. The ferry was actually really nice, like a little mini cruise in the middle of our vacay. Corfu is absolutely gorgeous! We are in a little area just north of Corfu town and it’s precious. After we got in yesterday we all walked around, sat at a little tiki bar on the beach, and had a nice Greek dinner. I’ve learned that tequila shots should not be chased with a lime! What are American’s thinking? We got shots on the beach and chased it with an orange sprinkled with cinnamon and it was DELICIOUS! I’m never eating limes again.
Most people in the group are starting to get to know each other so like 30 or more of us went out last night to this Oxygen bar a couple minutes from our hotel. There are still quite a few that really keep to themselves, but I guess you’ll always have those.
The weather is perfect and we’re staying at an adorable little hotel right near the beach. There really isn’t anything historically significant about this town so we have free time the entire time we’re here. Today was spent in a lawn chair on the beach for 4 hours, followed by lunch in a cute little Greek Restaurant, and now I’m blogging and taking a nap. The only complaint that I have about their beaches is that there’s no sand... it’s all rocks and pebbles which is miserable to walk on. Other than that the water is crystal clear blue and there are blue skies and mountains in the distance.
The views are stunning, and no worries, I have pictures . Also, in the interest of saving space in my suitcase I didn’t pack sunscreen assuming I’d just get some here. Turns out that the Greeks are very proud of their sunscreen and the cheapest, tiny bottle that we could find was 9 euros (like $13). They went all the way up to like 20 euros. Crazy.
Tomorrow night we leave on another ferry for Italy! The next week will be in Rome, Florence, then Venice! Already signed up for a gondola ride in Venice! I’ve taken over 200 pictures already, and as soon as I find wifi I’ll be posting some!
Love and miss you all!
XOXO
