Ela! This is the Greece we had been waiting to see! Tiny narrow paved streets with white and blue houses and windmills lining the beach! Its so different to anywhere we have been and its hard to describe but you can reach out and touch the houses on both sides of the street. They are all white with blue windows and they are so close together its like walking through a maze. You never walk down the same street twice. Our hotel was so nice with a pool lined with sunbeds and even a hammock. Its a pity the weather was not good for swimming althought there were people determined to get a holiday tan still laying by it each day. Our first night was crazy. We met up with all of our new friends after ... read more

If you've ever been to Mykonos, the spelling of the title should immediately bring to mind the sound of the island's mating call...Myykonooos! When you first hear 'Myykonooos' (probably from a pack of drunk Italians flying by 3 per scooter), you think to yourself, "that is the epitomy of uncool. Who does that?" But this is the island of Dionysus, the god of the harvest, the ultimate party host. Spring time debauchery was celebrated in his name. Large statues of male phalluses were *ahem* erected in his honor. He will get you drunk, provide a feast for the eyes as well as the body, and seduce you into his ways. The following are his tactics... Around 3pm the first day you'll be sitting on Paradise Beach and the DJ will turn up the music and ... read more

Hey All! It's 11am and i'm just waiting to check out of our Mykonos hotel and board a 7 hour ferry back to Athens. Not a whole lot has happened in the last couple days. We've been relaxing by the pool/beach for the most part. It's been a really nice break from the bus but i'm itching to do more sight seeing as well. My only exciting news is that I did complete my Corfu dare. Two days ago after a full day of drinking to work myself up to it I sat in the dining room ready to make a fool out of myself. I picked the table right next to us and sat down with three strangers. They all gave me funny looks and I started chatting to them and eating off there plates. ... read more

Hello everyone! the last time i wrote i was in the lobby cause they wouldn't let us upstairs because of our bed bug bites. Well that night we had to wait in the lobby for hours and they took away ALL our luggage and the clothes off our backs to be fumagated. We didn't get our clothes back till today. We spent the first day in togas until most broke down and went to the gift shop to by a sarong and a pair of flip flops. Luckily we didn't have any sight seeing that we were really wanting to do. We have been hanging out on the beach and drinking by the pool. I did manage to get fairly sun burned the other day and now i'm wishing i had my sheet instead of my ... read more

Greek IslandsKaren Bowden Ok addition 2 for those of u with little faith in me (Karen) I have turned over a new leaf and will be the ever more dutiful emailer. Ok maybe not but I have at least started addition 2 much to Kristy’s surprise. Ok so we left for the Greek Islands with our 8 new friends and headed for Santorini. Land of the blue domes. Sunset in Santorini have a look in Kaz sunnies So after a 6 hour boat ride across the Mediterranean I was climbing the wall with boredom. My ADD started to kick in and Kristy may have seen the writing on the wall that she is actually travelling with a child or a caged animal who doesn’t do long trips well. But we made it to Santorini safely. Felling ... read more
