It's 6.55pm and we've just arrived at the President Hotel in Greece. We caught a taxi from the airport, which cost €38. At first the taxi driver seemed a bit grumpy, but he thawed out during the drive and was quite chatty in the end. His English was pretty good as he lived in Australia for nine years. From what we have seen of the country so far it's really dry. There's a lot of red rock and soil, shrubs everywhere and most of the buildings are either white or ...

It's 4.38pm and we're still stuck on the ferry. We've had to move out of our cabins, but it looks like it might still be a couple of hours until we dock. There's comfy couches upstairs though so it's not too bad. We were given both breakfast and lunch on the ferry. Apart from that we've all just had a lazy day. I've spent the day sleeping, updating my travel blog and reading Fifty Shades Of Grey. It's been good in some ways though because it's made me relax. Once...

Today we had a free day in Corfu. I was feeling really unwell so stayed in our room until we had to check out. Once we checked out just before 12pm we put our bags into storage for the day. Paul spent the day in the pool and at the bar, while I stayed inside and used the Wifi. I went for a short walk down to the beach later on in the afternoon, but even that was a struggle. I was really disappointed as Corfu was one of the places I was most looking forward to vis...

Today I combined my two biggest fears - heights and water... I went parasailing! I was so nervous and almost backed out at the last minute. Paul and I did a tandem parasail which cost us €60. I didn't think that was bad at all, considering you pay over $100NZ per person to parasail in Paihia. I spent the first two minutes being so frightened, but once I got over that I was a lot more relaxed. The view was amazing. At one point they let us down gently just so we...

We have just arrived on the Greece mainland and have boarded our ferry to Corfu. It should only take us an hour and a half to reach Corfu, but Bec mentioned earlier that Greece often run on 'ish' or island time. I'm thinking about maybe doing the parasailing with Paul tomorrow. It's €30 per person and the banana boat is only €10. Today we have a free day to relax. I'm hoping that the resort will have WIFI. I'm pretty sure they do though. We've bought three la...
