Hello! We have finally made it to Corfu!
First, if you didn't see it...a few posts down there is one about the hostels so far if you are interested and didn't see it. Second, we love reading the comments you write so keep them coming! :)
NOW...the last 2 days were quite possibly the longest and most exhausting of our lives. On the last day I wrote...Tues? (I have lost my sense of time) We took a crazy van ride down to the port in Santorini, waited a few hours for our boat and got aboard the 'Romilda' to Athens. This boat was a little different from our last one, and we found a spot on the floor of the deck. We thought we had picked a good spot but boy were we wrong! (my comma button just stopped working cool). we were surrounded by kids that were loud rude annoying and smoking packs upon packs of cigarettes...a few of us fell asleep for a little while but overall it was a horrendous ride! fifteen hours later and we arrived in Athens and trekked to the hostel where the bus would get us to drop off our stuff. i think it was probably THE hottest day in Athens too.
after finally getting rid of our bags we headed to the acropolis and the ancient Greek sites. if you didn't know the acropolis is HIGH on a hill in the middle of the city...so more fun climbing and walking. despite our sweatiness (i know gross but it is true) and tiredness we spent the day around the city and saw some really magnificent sights.
back to the hostel Aphrodite we waited for the pink palace bus...the bus ride took twelve hours and included another ferry ride with by far the best sleeping conditions we have had on a boat yet!
now we are here at the pink palace with an AMAZING room that is so clean and has a great view of the water! we had the best dinner last night which is included in the price of our room along with a decent breakfast. this place is great there are hundreds of twenty somethings here and lots of activities...today we are going kayaking and snorkeling and have a fun night ahead...tomorrow is a toga party :) haha one bummer is that the Internet costs two euros! haha so it might not be in the budget to come on again while we are here...but i am probably to addicted to not come on!
love neen

Every time you girls talk about your adventures, I look the place up on the internet - AMAZING!! I'm so glad you ladies are getting to explore the world! I can't wait to hear the full details of your travels and see pictures along with it. Be safe.

OK, I checked the Pink Palace web site. Snorkeling is really not the activity....it's called the Booze Cruise....hmmmm...
So happy to know that you all made it safe & sound! Smelly is Okay.
Have a great time on the last leg of the journey.
Luv & miss you! xoxoxo
