Well Helu from Corfu! (and a bit about venice)


Well just to finish of from venice, was pretty good, the beds made it even more worthwhile as it meant for the first time in three years we wernt sleeping rough there!



Dean's new buddy!


The evening was pretty good, we found a coop and stocked up on some scran before eventually checking out the beach over at lido... more to come aftre lunch

And a massive (free) three course meal im back, oh it was sphag bol if your wondering!

We wandered round venice a while whilst waiting to check into our freshly cleaned hotel room, saw some sites then made our way to lido (a beach island of venice) swam, ate pizza and generally relaxed before heading back to the mainland to clean up and check out san marcos square by night! V. cool with the classical music.


San marcos by night


Next day came a brief stroll before we made way to the harbor for our 24hour journey by ship to Corfu, not much really happened on the rather empty minoan lines ferry unless you include drinking wine and eating platicy cheese (that wasnt green, mouldy and didnt smell)!!!


Arriving in corfu the next day we jumped on a free bus to 'The Pink Palace' (as ive just been told has a facebook... hrmmm...) where since arriving partied with two canadian lass's each night (also on our ship) lara and jesse, lots of fun!!!


The Pink Palace Possy (above and below)


You know the words... "Were flying the flag for youuuuuuuu"


As of today we didnt feel much upto the booze cruise so instead hired out sea kayaks and did the whole thing, even finding caves to go caving in, rather immense indeed, aside from dean worrying about attracting sharks wioth his cut elbow... but we all survived to tell the tale, although now i have rather sunburnt shins!

Tonight our last night, just eaten with the girls again, off to pack my bag then back to the bar for the end of happy hour!

The Meal!


were to after our 7am ferry tomorrow... Youll just have to wait!!!
Danny!

3, 2, 1... CANYONING!

Well well our second day in the land of chocolate and cheese sure did prove eventful...
Can you guess whats coming...

we woke up for 8 and were out canyoning an hour or so later each with our own nickname, Miika was Gangster, i was Skywalker (much to deans annoyance) as his was Skunk! Oh and when i say canyoning i mean abseiling down the side of a canyon, jumping into freezing cold river water, sliding along natural rock slides, traversing zip lines and all manner of water related activity... IT WAS AMAZING!!!! Lol, i will admit the1ì three of us sure were nervous at first but by the end f the day beer and sandwiches in hand we truly felt acomplished!

The Canyoning Crew!

When it came time to wave goodbye to Interlaken later that day we cleaned and packed up then made our way off to destined for the train station and our overnight journey to Venizia. The overnight journey was if anything... ridiculously hot, even with the air con. but safe to say now were in venice and booked into a hotel (this meaning its the first year weve not slept rough in venice). But meh anywho, were off for ice cream and a bit of a wonder now, so for now, Ciao, and ill speak t you maube in Corfu, yup off to greece again tomorrow!!!

In venice, they have puple aligators that can walk on walls...

Keep safe guys, Dean, Miika and Danny!!!

Ps. Miika says hello, that is all.
P.p.s Dean says Hes a tired chap!

Interlaken and the swiss lakes!

Just a quick update a rooney, currently in interlaken after leaving amsterdam, by some twist of fate we ended up in the same sleeper compartment on the train as miika did, yet we booked completely different times.


Train Faces!

Anyway were having a great time, been cycling all day, admiring the scenery, some what hiking and lots of swimming in lakes, very cool yet very cold!


Aside from that, the place is expensive at 2quid 50 for ten mins net access so keepint this short and sweet! But yeah having fun, were all already browning, staying in a hostel tonight thats a funny converted barn called the 'Funny Farm'!
Our room at the funny farm, a converted barn!

Off to venice tomorrow after another day chilling and watching the many paragliders soar bye...

Loves and hugs chaps and chapettes,
Danny, Dean and Miika!!!

"THE DIRTY BAS****S!!!"
