Hi all,
Managed to get hold of another Internet terminal here on Crete Island so decided to continue the next part of my travellogue. Well, much has happened since I left Athens. Till now, I simply cannot believe how much I have travelled overland and by sea just to see the best places that Greece has to offer.
Made a 10 hour bus cum ferry journey from Athens to Corfu on Monday night and reached there in the wee hours of Tuesday morning. Was supposed to go to this really fun hostel called Pink Palace. For all the uninitiated out there, you all simply have to go to this place. It is THE place to go to in Corfu. There, you will not only be able to meet up with people from all over the world but you will also get to go on boat cruises and quad-safari trips (i.e. those dirt-track ATVs which you use to ride on rough terrain). Imagine traversing at high speeds on these dirt tracks and exploring those hard to reach hilltop monasteries - It is really a once in a lifetime experience. Also, on one of those boat cruises, did really crazy things like cliff-jumping. I still cannot believe that I scaled one of those 25 - 30m high rocky outcrops without any form of safety equipment and jumping into the deep blue sea with abandon. Seems scary now when I think about it but will do it again.
Other than the outdoor activities, I decided to rest a little on my last day in Corfu by 'nuahing' at this street called the Liston; modelled after the Parisian Rue de Rivoli. Venetian influence abounds whether it be the fortress structures or other town buildings. After coffee, the sunny weather beckons and off I went to the beach with the other people at the Pink Palace and just basked in the sun till my complexion became a light 'golden brown'.
Will suggest this place to you all anytime as a place to propose to your gfs or to simply serenade your wives while on a honeymoon. The great weather, seas, scenery and the myriad activities available can easily preoccupy you for a week. To all the gals out there, you all know where to get your bfs to bring you on a holiday next time yeah?
