Euro Adventures Pt 18 - A Very Long Day

Oh dear... 5 hours on the bus... 15 hours on a ferry... Then we will be in Greece. This will definitely be a very very long day - and that's only if the ferry isn't delayed. We had a very early start this morning with bags on the bus at 6am and brekkie at 630. With a long drive ahead of us we began our journey to the ports. I've never been on a proper cruise ship before so I was pretty excited. 

We had a toilet stop and were informed that the ferry was running about 4 hours late, oh dear. But Noddy said we could find a great beach and just chill for a couple of hours - rather than waiting at the ports. I am feeling really really unwell today, light headed, dizzy, headaches, fever... Not a good sign. It also made the bus ride pretty unbearable. 

But we made it to a beach resort type of place and it was WAY to hot to be by the water. There was a bunch of shops with tables and chairs so we just sat and talked and had gelato. Alysha and I bought Turkish towels for the sailing and a lilo... Should be a fun time. We jumped back on the bus and headed down to the port, checked in and tried to get onto the boat (but it was full) so we waited in the coach with the AC on and watched Anchorman. I ended up falling in and out of sleep because I was so sore and so sick - I just wanted to get on this cruise ship and lie down. 

We got there in the end though - on the boat and got our rooms - they were surprisingly really nice rooms. Two sets of bunk beds, little ensuite and plenty of space for once... We can't flush toilet paper down the toilet in Greece, it has to go into a garbage bin... Ew. I'm not looking forward to that. We had a quick lie down in the room and went on the hunt for food - Alysha and I ended up having Gyros - which are like open kebabs and BLOODY AMAZING. We went back to our room, showered and jumped into bed with some Geordie Shore on, oh yeah... And it was only 8pm.

Oh well. See you in the morning Greece!!

Euro Adventures Pt 22 - Eat, Sleep, Beach, Repeat

Another day in paradise, Mykonos you beautiful place. I woke early with a coughing fit to find everyone was home and in bed - absolutely dead to the world. Once a couple of the girls woke up we headed down for some brekkie - the included brekkie was absolute shithouse so we ordered from the breakfast menu at the restaurant. Such a good life choice. Plus the view!  Noddy joined us for a chat and a coffee - Greek coffee is pretty different, very very strong - I was kind of in love with it. Delish. We headed back to the room and the girls had naps while I caught up some overdue blogging - even though without wifi I couldn't post anything. The camping ground did have wifi but it was so bad that you could only connect of you were standing right next to the bar and even then it dropped in and out. LAME!  When everyone was awake we changed into our swimmers and headed down to the beach at our back door. The beach was absolutely spectacular. For once it wasn't all pointy sharp rocks t...

Euro Adventures Pt 5 - A Magical Day In Paris

So on our original own for today was a full travel day to the Swiss Alps - but, praise the Lord we were told before we went to bed last night that we were doing a night drive and we could spend the day exploring Paris - because they didn't want us to miss out on the majesty of Paris! YAYYYYYYYY - there were a lot of happy of people on our tour. We had until 4 to do whatever we pleased. Stoked. Paris was the place Alysha was the most looking forward so we have been able to somewhat make her dreams come true! We woke up nice and early, had a breakfast of champions (NOT), there was questionable looking eggs, bacon, very sweet toast, croissants, pain o chocolait, yogurt and cereal. We are kind of over pastries already haha - thank goodness we are leaving Framce today, might get something different for a change in Switzerland. We ventured out to find the Metro, which was a very worrying as our hostel was in such a Ghetto part of Paris, the outskirts, the slums, I don't know what the...
