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 that destroy your feet, it was slightly rocky shelly sand and crystal clear blue water. I've never been into an ocean quite like this before - you could be so deep in the ocean and still be able to see all the way to the bottom. Plus you float like you aren't even in water. It was just awesome! I could have spent all day in that water. 


We decided that we were starving... So we had a quick rinse off to get rid of all the salt and sand and went to one of the restaurants along the beach. The menu looked absolutely wicked - heaps of seafood and heaps of Greek traditional dishes. We had to try sagonaki cheese (deep fried halloumi cheese) and some zucchini croquettes, I also had grilled lamb kebab and Alysha had chicken souvlaki - delicious! 



After our massive meal we decided that we all needed an afternoon siesta, except for lysh who needed more time in the sun. So we had a wonderful nap and headed back to the ocean - really the most fun I have ever had swimming in the ocean. Just floating around, not a care in the world except what to do when we needed a cocktail - the answer was of course... Go and get one! We went back up to the bar and enjoyed a passion fruit cocktail, YUM! 


After our second time in the ocean we decided it was a good idea to have a proper shower and wash the sand out of our hair. After being in the ocean and not having the best showers in the past 4 days it's an amazing feeling to be clean and scrubbed. Can't wait to be able to get home and have a hot bath soak up some amazing bath salts. We went to have an included Topdeck dinner which was (shocker) pizza. Pizza is getting very old haha. Somehow Alysha had convinced me to go to the beach party at Club Tropicana - I thought I had avoided that last night but nope. So we headed over to Club Tropicana for a dance.


I definitely didn't have high hopes for enjoying myself at the club, but it was a cool place, people everywhere, lots of girls in skimpy bikinis and guys in speedos... Plus the elephant man... A guy synonymous with Tropicana. He is bald, ripped and wears a sparkly elephant g-string... Very weird haha. But hey, it's all about the experience right?? It was really smokey and with my sore throat and bad cough I didn't last more than an hour so I headed back to the camp ground. 

When I got back Megan had just left the room to into town for drinks at a different club than the one we were at - I think she was up for a big night... Oh dear! Somehow we also managed to lock ourselves in our room and the key was stuck! Typical TeegsAndLysh bad luck! Haha. Some people from the campground had to help us escape - needless to say we didn't sleep with our door locked that night.

Euro Adventures Pt 12 - Driving The Day Away, To Venice We Go

Sometimes I cannot believe I am on this tour, living this lifestyle, I never thought I would be able to handle it... My body may be telling me that I can't. But I will still power through! This is one of those days - one of those days where I need to power through, buck up, not be a princess and suck up the massive pain in my tailbone and endure a long day in a bus... But at least at the end we will be in one of my favourite places in the world, Venice!  Already on our 11th day... 11 days away from our jobs, from our families, from our boyfriends, it's been hard, but we have tried to make every day as fun as we can - even the drive days, and this one was a long one - we did, however, have one notable stop... Two households, both alike in dignity, in fair Verona, where we lay our scene,from ancient grudge break to new mutiny, where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.  Today we were able to stop in Verona, where the famous play Romeo and Juliet was based. It was nothing like ...

Euro Adventures Pt 7 - The Medieval Town of Avignon

Today we head off to the town of Avignon today - one of the oldest medieval towns in France. It houses the only other home of past Popes other than the Vatican. We are lucky enough to have been arriving the same day as the popular Avignon Festival which happens every July and is a massive performing arts festival.  We had a long 6-7 hour drive to reach our hostel - it was a really bumpy and windy drive so I found myself feeling very ill, we stopped for a picnic lunch and were very surprised to find the strangest squat/drop toilets I have ever seen before in my life... In Australia we have long drops... But we have nothing like this. I was going to give it a try for the sake of this blog but I chickened out. I took a picture too...  After a long hot drive and a couple of toilet stops we finally arrived at our hostel - WHICH HAD A POOL!!! Noddy gave us an hour and a half of free time before we headed into the old city of Avignon. Alysha and I were straight into that pool - so re...

Friends are the family you choose - choose wisely

Sometimes we get lucky and someone comes into your life and changes you forever. I have been blessed to have many people come into my life and make a massive impact on who I am as a person, I don't plan to ever let those people go - or for that matter, make sure they always know how much they mean to me!  Babycakes - my bestie, met this girl while working at a golf club and we instantly clicked! She tells it like it is and doesn't put up with your shit. She is also one of the most kind hearted, generous and absolutely gorgeous girls I have ever met. She has helped me through some very dark times in my life and motivates me everyday to be a better version of myself. She is a pillar of strength in my long standing battle with obesity for which I will never be able to thank her for. I don't know how she will survive four weeks in Europe with me but I can't wait to explore the world with her.  Millzdawwwggg, soulmate, realestate buddies, this chick! My sister from another ...
