The football is on...

Thursday, 23 August 2012

I am still in Greece. The football is on, I don't like football, therefore I am trying to negotiate my way around my favourite web pages which are all in Greek. I am on a PC that works on a timer so you put the Euros in and have 20 minutes of web surfing. Bit weird. So I am merrily sipping away at my Disaronno and Lime whilst everyone else 'ahhh's' and 'go on's' at the TV.

Greece is so ridiculously HOT right now. Having been to Arizona and Utah a few months ago, I can say the climate is not that different.Sorry to be so unlady like here but I have never produced so much perspiration in my LIFE! The pool has proved very handy. We went to Corfu town a couple of nights ago, which is one of my all time favourite places. It's so...oldy worldy as my mum would say. Very tall apartment buildings very close together, and the streets are lined with shops full of quirky jewellery, Kumquat products (their local fruit) and bright coloured dresses. We even found Marks and Spencer! It's such a traditional place, and I love it. I'm not a high street/mall fan at all. I love all the one off places that sell unique things. I just bought an outrageous pair of slippers with giant pom poms on them. Can't wait to crack those out in winter time.

Yesterday we did a little boat trip and got to see more of the Island. The rock formations here are amazing, much like Arizona but more white and less red. There are some nice arches too that people swim through, i've never braved it myself though. We also went to a Greek night, which was fun but not the best one I've been to - but it has to be done. I love the costumes and dancing, the setting fire to the floor and smashing plates. Can't beat it. I've had some amazing food..the meat here is to.die.for. and I could eat tzatziki all day, everyday. Can't wait to make some at home!

Anyway, I've almost finished 3 books now and am hoping to try out my Mum's kindle as I'd like to sit with my feet dipped in the pool like a poser whilst holding it. I think by now the football will almost be over (fingers crossed) so I may return to the bar after I check that I'm fully caught up with all the blog posts over at The Pioneer Woman. Once I return home, I will post some pictures of beautiful Corfu and have been inspired to learn the language a bit more - cheers can only get you so far, and once I have learnt the alphabet the hardest part is over!

So, Kalispera! (Good Evening) and Yamas...(Cheers!)

Much Love xxx
