So after a car ride to the train station, a two trains to Bari, then an overnight ferry to Igoumenitsta, then a boat ride to Corfu, then a van ride to the Pink Palace, we are here in Cofu at one of the biggest party hostels in the world. However, because it is the end of October, most of the island is shut down (restaurants, stores, etc.). The Pink Palace is a self-running city almost, so we have everything we need here. And our room faces the Ionian Sea and some beautiful cliffs. It is is cloudy, but the water is still refreshing. Our accommodations are bit more expensive than we would like to pay, 20 Euro a night...but that includes a pretty decent breakfast AND dinner. We like to pick fruit off of the trees in between meals as we wait for our 8:30PM dinner...quite late!
So far we have done swimming in the Ionian Sea, which actually has waves as oppose to when we were at teh Amalfi. We did a crazy hike yesterday to the top of the hill...we kind of made our own path throught the thorns and such...our battle scars will be our souvenirs. Today we wanted to go Kayaking, but the weather may not allow it.
Anyway, as always, time runs short an I can't write everything I want to. I am having a fabulous time with the girls and with all the new friends we meet.
Thanks everyone for all your comments...it makes me miss home.
