I wish 6 weeks during the school year could go as fast as the 6 weeks I just had!
We spent the last 3 nights in Ios at another camp site. This was was high class compared to the one we stayed in in Mykonos. Our bungalow had a fan!!! I don't know what I'm going to do with myself once I get air conditioning. Probably freeze to death! Ios is nice, it finally has beaches with real sand! There's not much on this island besides bars, so we sat mainly sat by the pool most of the day, and headed out at night (or the wee hours of the morning). A lot of Aussies work on the island, I find it quite ironic that I'm in Greece and surrounded by Australians. I think I've probably learned more about their culture now than I did when I was studying there.
We're leaving today on a ferry for Athens. Spending one night there, speed touring tomorrow, as our plane leaves Athens around 6 pm. Some girls from my Croatia cruise I ran into at Mykonos and was telling me that she got into Athens the day after me, and wasn't able to leave the airport because the taxi drivers were on strike and she wouldn't be able to get back in to catch her next flight out. We also got word in Santorini that the Ferry boats were striking and causing peoples ferry's to be super late. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that everything runs smoothly for us over the next 36 hours while we're still in Greece.
Our next stop (and my final) is Italy. We're taking a 3-day tour of the western coast, then a couple days in Rome (not enough time I'm sure!) Then, finally home again August 3rd! See everyone soon!

ReplyDeleteHey Court!
ReplyDeleteDad and I went to visit Mom Mom before heading to the beach today and I told her that you were in Italy and would be back (finally) next week! She says "She is!?" and I said "Yes. Maybe when I come in next week to see you, she'll come in with me." so she's say's "Oh, I'd like that!". That put a smile on my face because it put a smile on HER face!
Anxiously awaiting your return!
Love you!
Mom
