Plate Smashing, Toga wearing Corfu Greece!

let me start by saying that this weekend was insane. be prepared....

also as it was passover i did not really eat all the food, what i ate was delicious but u cnt ask me much more cuz i dont know, sorry!

thursday morning we left to get on the bus, which was a 5 hour bus ride, to a 14 hour boat to a 2 hour ferry to a 30 minute bus ride to the hotel. finally.

of course leave it to my luck that my friend and i didnt get a rome for whatever reason so we had to wait like an hour while everyone was stripping into bathing suits to get a room. of course once again we get a room ALL the way up the hill then another hill. it was a work out. so as everyone else did, we dropped out bags and threw on our bathingsuits and went down to the beach. we waited in the longest line of our lives to get lunch, so long that when we were done the sun went away and it wsnt as hot anymore. so we walked along the beach and relaxed. it was gorgous. it wsnt that hot, it was barely warm but for just getting there and being able to be on a beautiful beach was just so nice!

that night we got changed and went down to happy hour. there we met some really fun people and had some really yummy drinks. for dinner they served chicken thankfully, which was amazing esp since i had been starving! my diet of potato chips and fruit was not a good one. so after that we went down to the club and had a great night, lots of fun!

sat morning we ment to wake up early to get in line for the booze cruise. (which included cliff jumping a bat cave- which we wrnt even able to go in cuz the tide was too high and crazy and a private beach). we accidently slept till 830, and missed the sign up completly. it turned out to be a really nice day however. we got to lay out on the beach for a few hours which was sooooo nice and relaxing! we then later went into town and walked around. everything was closed but it was really nice to see the town.

we went back for happy hour and dinner and then later that night was the toga party! i used my excellent experienced toga skilled hands (by experience i mean i once tied like 6 guys togas when i was a senior in hs.....) and made everyones toga's including mine. the party was so much fun! we had greek dancers and plate smashing- one of which smashed on my head....hurt more then i thought it would.

the next day we woke up sooo super early to be able to get on and sign up for the booze cruise. so we did. and we got it.

we grabbed breakfast then made our way into the FREEZING cold water. i mean absolutly freezing. our first stop was the cliff jumping which was actually the main reason i wanted to do the booze cruise. it cost 20 euros and in my mind i was GOING cliff jumping. i had to. soooo people started jumping off and after waiting a bit my friends and i jumped off the boat to swim over the rocks. much to our suprise we got cuaght in a riptide thing inbetween rocks. that was supppper fun let me tell you. so when we finally got on the rocks we were bleeding too much and had to go back into the freezing cold water to the boat :-(. we didnt even get to attempt to climb up the rock to cliff jump. sigh. on the good hand we got free drinks! wooohooo. (better option i thought then taking my clothes off-oh yes more details given when asked) it was lots of fun!

we got back at 3 and had to get our stuff out of our room at 3. so we ran and got our stuff to go back on the bus to the ferry to the 2 hour wait to the 14 hour boat to the 5 hour bus ride to the crowded bus to take us to our apt.

it was def so much fun and i loved every minute of it!! im still so exhausted and sore, oh and i twisted my ankle. go figure. my wrist still hurts but comapred to everything else at this point....its nothing.

im attempting to get pictures on facebook but its giving me trouble, plus i got 3 paperse to write and presentations and lots of stuff and i am nonstop traveling till im home!!!

less then a month, can u believe it??
