Getting to Greece



On Thursday morning all 8 of us girls took a 4 hour bus ride to a port near Venice. We then took an over night cruise ship to Greece. The cruise ship was hilarious because it was filled with Greek truck drivers who were all very sketchy looking. They were also dominating the dance floor at the club that was on the boat. The next morning when we arrived in Greece the ferry drivers were on strike so we had to wait at the dock for 4 hours! Once we finally got on the ferry which was another hour and a half ride we had to take a 20 min bus ride to the Pink Palace a world famous hostel on the Island of Corfu. As soon as you get there they give everyone a shot of ouzo which tastes like "sambouka" aka it burns your throat. We unpacked our stuff and headed down to the beach which was absolutely beautiful. We were all starving so we got some gyros and I had my first beer! I hate the taste of it so I only have a sip, but I was like I am on a beach and I feel like drinking a beer so I forced myself to drink the entire thing. After this we all ran into the water even thought it was freezing. We showered, went to dinner and then danced all evening.
