We are having a blast here but we both think it's time to go home. Time to catch you up on what we've been doing. After Paros and Naxos we went to Santorini which was awesome. The place we were staying had a pool so when we got there in the evening we decided to take a dip before bed. All the Gre http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Greece/blog-280983.html Hi EveryoneIt's been a while... we keep passing by internet cafes but the beach is so much more inviting...PWe have been pretty busy in the last few days. Last we wrote we were enjoying Olympia the next day was our big travel day to make it across the Peloponnese on our way to the rest of the islands. That was a looooong day but it was definitely worth it. We woke up bright and early and mad http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Greece/blog-278325.html Time sure flies.... We are already in Olympia and there is lots to catch up on. We didn't have any internet access in Zakynthos. Lets start from the beginning. The night ferry from Corfu to Patras was a lot nicer than our first night ferry It was much bigger and there were even escalators on it. We had a decent sleep but it was pretty chilly. We had to put on lots of layers and Jess is just get http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Greece/Pelopennese/blog-276553.html Well it's our last day in Corfu and we are sad to leave... Bella Vista the place where we are staying was totally awesome. The people were so friendly and the beach was incredible not to mention the great tasting food We spent yesterday exploring the northern part of Corfu in a place called Sidari. It has a very special location called the Canal d'Amour which is a really cool rock formation http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Greece/blog-275101.html Hi EveryoneIt's been a while we've been busy traveling to our next destination. Early the morning of the 7th we caught a train from Rome to Bari it took about 6 hours. The Italian countryside was absolutely beautiful lots of mountains and orchards. Oma would have loved all the colorful flowers we saw. After the train we caught a bus to the port in Bari so that we could catch our ferry. Along t http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Greece/blog-274453.html So... it's our last day in Rome and we are definitely sad to be leaving but still looking forward to exploring Greece We didn't update the blog yesterday but there really wasn't much to say... We headed out for the Vatican at about 1000am with a New Zealander from our hostel who showed us the ropes on the Metro. However when we got to the Vatican we realized that we should have gotten there m http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Italy/blog-273505.html Last night we decided it was about time that we figured out how we are getting to our next destination We booked a ferry from Bari to Corfu online but had to go to the train station this morning to book a train from Rome to Bari. We got everything sorted out and we will be leaving Rome on Wednesday morning to journey to Corfu We got a night ferry which is good because we didn't have anywhere http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Italy/blog-272854.html Its 9gt30am Sunday morning and we are just about to go out thought we would write a little something first. So yesterday we had a pretty jam packed day. We started out having breakfast at a local pastry shop. Sean got a gigantic donut of course and I had a croissant with crema So tasty. Then we headed down to the Colosseum to try our luck in the really long line ups and they WERE long. We http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Italy/blog-272652.html It's about 730 am right now and I couldn't sleep so I made Sean get up. Thought we would add a few more details before we headed out today. We went out last night at about 830pm and just sort of wandered around. We grabbed some gelato woooo Jess had coconut and Sean had strawberry. SOOOO GOOD. It was kind of confusing to order though because everything here is in Italian. Then we walked do http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Italy/blog-272067.html Just practicing using our new blogWe went to Boston Pizza last night with both families their first formal introduction finally...
