Hello world, it has been a while, more than a while, its been 2 weeks.
My deepest regrets for not keeping everyone updated and confirming that Lee and myself are alive, well we are alive and well. Things have been crazy since we left Milan and we haven't had a chance to reach the internet at all.
Let me give you a summarized recall of the past events as even now I dont have long.
We Left Milan and headed to Rome, I was extremely excited for this, Lee was almost tempted to tie one of those baby leads to me (whats up with those, childhood nightmare) We arrived in the city that started cities ,the most advanced of the civilizations in the world, only to discover we didnt have a hotel room as it had been flooded, interesting events passed to find us around the corner in a different hotel where the rooms where only half flooded. The next three days we spent walking Rome into the ground, we did everything possible in this amazing city, despite so much to do in Rome it is all relatively close together. The heat brought us to our knees and we did most our traveling at night. We fought lions in the Colloseum (again apologies for the spelling) we hi-fived the pope and ate more ice cream than an eskimo during summer. We met Guy traveling the streets and Lee and him decided to destroy their shoes about an hour away from home at midnight which resulted in some barefoot complaining through some nice dodgy streets. We discovered that the saying 'All roads lead to Rome' is very helpful when trying to get to Rome ,but very unhelpful we trying to find your way to your hotel, as all the roads definately didnt lead to our hotel. I think the real saying is all roads lead to Tin Roof, but neither tin, nor roofs had been invented yet so that is how the Romans may have got confused.
After a lovely time in Rome we headed for Corfu on one of the most interesting ferry rides I have ever taking in my life, we realised that trying to book the cheapest seats we have infact booked a tiny piece of carpet with half of Turkey on board, this proved to be quite a night, we met two Canadian girls Suzie and Ellise who where coming to the same place as us in Corfu, the legendary Pink Palace, but before we got there we had 10 hours of fun fulled events on board where the turkish population decided the only way to bear the trip was get hammered off their trollies and start fighting , not the men ,the woman, not as funny as you might think that is.
After eventually arriving in the 'prehistoric'(no proof though) island of Corfu we where driven to the Pink Palace, and oh WOW was this a 4 nights we wont be forgetting, not that we really remember them. When they say 'Pink' they really mean PINK, not just like light red. Apon arrival we had pink Ouzo shoved down our throats ,this was at about 7 in the morning after the turkish ferry so it wasnt ideal. we then went on to have one of the most amazing times of our lives, we spent the days in the sun and night at the bars, we met the most amazing people and may have become slightly Canadian/ alittle German, so Hey to Greg, Steph, Max ,Lorelle ,Mindy ,Calisha ,Vince and Benny we miss you guys already and have already cleaned your rooms in Cape Town.
On one of the days we decided to go on a tranquil cruse around the Island ,which proved to be extremely relaxing and calm, nothing out of the ordinary ,we all just enjoyed a sober day on the sea (The previous two sentances are a lie)
We then partied the night away and decided to go for a night time swim, leaving all our belongings on the beach, this resulted in them being stolen by some Spanish guys, we put on the chase and realised that these guys where staying at the pink palace ,we also discovered that their IQ was probably about the same as my pet rabbit and we managed to get our stuff back after some persuading. This day just had it all.
a few days later I found myself in womans clothing and having plates smashed over my head.
It was an amazing time, with some amazing people,and im sure it wont be the last time we see everyone. Wish I could say more
We have arrived in Skiathos today ,Beautiful, just less than a week left.
keep well everyone
