Corfu

Well. Corfu was firece.

Spence and i flew in on Wizz Air (everyone applauded the pilot when the plane landed, mutherfucker got an encore! I mean seriously, do you applaud a bus driver when he gets you to your stop? No. Ya Dont. Hes doing his freaking job.... anyways....)

And landed into the Pink Palace on Toga night. Now, for those who havent experienced a toga party at the pink palace, it goes a little like this... Well let me preface with the happy hours. Happy Hour starts at the top bar in reception at 6 and goes till 8. Dinner starts at 8 and goes till 10. Happy hour starts at the nightclub from 10 till 12. So by the time we rolled in the boys were well on their way. Let alone the fact that there was about 200 people there all in togas, equally on their way. Anyway, about 1230, these greek dancers come on, and bust a groove then shit gets real... the dudes light a table on fire and lift it in their mouths and dance around to some crazy greek tunes. After that, a dude comes out dressed as a Roman Centurian, With a bucket full of Oozo and a Ladel. Everyone gets on their knees and the dude Ladels Oozo into your mouth and then another bro breaks a plate over your head.... Firece.

Needless to say alll the boys were very pleased to see us and we proceeded to celebrate in style. So everyone gets kicked out of the nightclub at 4 am. And we decide to hit the beach. I go to grab some beers and loose the boys along the way. Anyway, i go to find em on the beach and instead come across these dudes having a beach bonfire and playing some hell guitar. I sit my drunken arse down and chill with these dudes tilll about 5 am. Somehow i managed to knock out a version of Wonderwall... how i played guitar is beyond me. I was totalled. Anyway, at about 530 i go to put another log on the fire, and a hot coal out of the middle leaps off and lands on my foot... Burning the shit out of me. I quickly run down and put it in the ocean and then head back to the room where i pass out standing up in a cold shower. Wake up about 6 am and head back to bed in my actuall bed.

Anyway. being the smart cookie i am. I dont put any betadine on it and leave it out to the elements for the next two days. Which werent that firece for nights out, mainly because everyone was soo damn sick. Like really ill. And beers were starting to become un fun. Yeah thats right. We didnt want to drink anymore. But one euro for a beer.... is just too tempting. So yeah we would hit up happy hour play a few rounds of arsehole and get on it. Much to our dismay. Anyway two nights later, I wake up in the morning having lost my wallet. With the most intense pain in my foot. When i start to stand up my whole leg buckles underneath me. Long story short, i saw a greek doctor who binds up my foot, so water and sand are off the menu. Plus antibiotics equalls 100 euro down the drain, and no ocean, no beach and no booze until i leave.

Lame.

There are a whole lot more stories i could tell but im just going to go straight to the best day we had. The day after Spence, Kristian, Jake, Tim and Soph Gallop all bailed. Me, Zotti and Chris Honey rented a car and drove around the island. We drove for 9 hours and over 160 ks. It was awesome, the car which we nicknamed the Bronco was a wild beast, and Zotts was the man for the job driving wise. We had some crazy fucking moments ey, like ascending the highest point in Corfu (1 km above sea level) on these roads, which are just wide enough for one car on a mountainside with a sheer drop on one side and a massive cliff face on the other. With oncoming traffic and blind hair pin turns, too like, Zotts going off roading on simialar track...except it was dirt and he was fishtailing it round the hairpins. To Driving 100 ks back to the town where we hired the car and getting there in just under an hour. When Zotts went the wrong way into oncoming traffic and swerved around 3 oncoming cars at nightime just out of the main town... we knew it was time to hit the hay.

it was awesome... I will post again soon kids probs from singapoure!

Much Love, this computer is about to kick me off so i hope this works!!

See u all soon!!!
