Greek Islands
So....the Greek island run is finished.....the itinerary was nice.....Corfu, Santorini, Mykonos and Katakolon....i def cannot wait to see Santorini, i hope that my next schedule, when we do the Greek island run again, will be better so that i can get off.....the next run however includes Turkey, Croatia and Greece, Athens....im very excited for that too...i hear it is very beautiful....so lets hope my schedule is nice.....ill get it soon.....
Katakolon....easy explained...consists of 3 parallel streets, first street is on the sea with all restaurants, one after the another, next street is full of souvenir shops, one after another and the third street has coffee shops and ice cream shops....haha....all together it will take you about an hour to see it.....so we knew this before we arrived...so the plan was to get off the ship at 9am and go for some breakfast and good coffee.....well the plan was good....the execution...interesting....
Places in Greece do not open early....that is if you consider 9am early....so we finally found a place and they said the only thing they can make us is a toasted cheese or a Greek salad....now that we thought sounded good....3 of those....it was 920am....the salad was delicious...i even took a pic....above...
The feta came on the side, a huge block for each one of us and lots of fresh crispy bread....we also ordered some espresso and enjoyed our Greek breakfast for the next 1.5 hrs....fab....then off to find some internet...cause i was homesick...it has been difficult being away and not just being able to call whenever you want....im holding on though....at least im seeing new places and i have met some great people. Work started at 1330 and ended at 1730 and then started again at 2130 until 2330, so not too bad today...in between was gym, laundry, dinner and then Dina and i went to see the show. Tonight it was spanish dancing...i almost passed put, was very boring....but at least i passed some time....so in quick summary Katakolon had amazing weather, food was good....but honestly not so interesting to see.....i hope that next time i have more time off...then i can go to olympia...that i think will be interesting, origin of the olympic games and all the ruins, but you need to have at least 4hrs off....so hopefully next time....but now of course is the new run.....
So after Katakolon we all believed it was time to have a good night out....main reason cause we were turning our clocks one hour back so we could get an extra hour of sleep. julia and I were def in cause we would only start at 1200 the next day...so what the hell....was a fun night.....

Today is sea day and tomorrow we will be back in Venice.....hmmmm...hopefully good schedule...i still wanna do a gondola ride, if we find 4 people we will do it, cause then it costs 20 euros per person and i can deal with that....also sadly sea day.....so after managing for 2 weeks not aving to eat at the staff mess, i will now have to go to the staff mess to eat...wish me luck and i hope there is some decent food....maybe some salmon.....hmmmm....cause that is not so bad....actually the salmon is nice.....So in the end we looked at the food and decided that sushi would be the better option...this time i had red something roll....consisted of scallpos and fish.....so so good.....and afterwards i went to my room....work starts at 10pm, so out of sheer boredom and not knowing what to do with myself i decided to eat half a block of Swiss choc...i have been receiving lots of REAL Swiss choc from all the Swiss guests....yay for me.....
