Greece- Day 3 and 4

Monday was a great day in Corfu! We woke up in the morning, ate breakfast in the lounge, which consisted of toast, eggs and some sliced meats and cheeses. I asked for yogurt, and was unpleasantly surprised to find its consistency to that of sour cream, and the taste similar too. After breakfast, we decided to rent quads for the day and ride the island. We were told the quads were all cooked for the day and would have to try again on Tuesday, so we put bathing suits on instead and went down to the beach to lay in the sun. It was by no means HOT outside, which is what everyone was hoping for during spring break, but nice enough to lay out without clothes on and soak up some vitamin D. After a few hours of this laying out, Alex and I walked up the path to have lunch, and get changed for the beach hike that the boys asked us to join in on. We hiked along the beach, which was a little unnerving because it’s not sand, but rocks, which are all about the size of a squished plum, and a little bit hard to walk on. I fell pretty hard at one point, scratching my knees and elbows, and also putting a few marks on my brand new camera, which was enough to turn my smile to a frown. The hike was about an hour each way, and when we reached out destination, there were some pretty amazing views!! Lots of pictures.

After the hike, it was time to shower and get ready for dinner number two. Also, this night was the toga party, so everyone at the palace was rented a toga, pink, mind you, for the night. It was quite a show to see, and so much fun! The girls and I danced and drank the night away, which was a blast! There is nothing better then ending the day with several guys wearing satin pink togas, ha-ha!!

Tuesday morning, Alex, Melissa, Jessica and I got up very early to make sure we would be able to rent quads for the day. I wanted to make sure that there would be some left so we got in the like at 8am to insure spots. We enjoyed breakfast after signing up for the safari quad ride and went to our rooms to get changed. At 11:00am, we met down in the garage area to get lessons on the quads and helmets fitted to out heads. There were about 40 students all renting quads, so it took quite a while to get everything situated and organized. After that, we were off. It was so much fun, riding along the streets of Corfu with the cute little kids playing in the street and waving frantically as we rode by. The town is so quaint and simple, and all the people are very friendly. We also rode the quads off-road, which was also so much fun! At the top of this giant lookout was an amazing view of the island and the beaches, all with beautiful crystal clear water from the Adriatic Sea.

That night, we loaded up our belongings and boarded the night bus to Greece. It was a long ride, but most of us passed out the sound of the movie Old School on the TV’s throughout the bus. It wasn’t until 3:30am on Wednesday morning that the bus pulled into the very awake city of Athens.

I really enjoyed Corfu, and will go back there again at some point in my life.
