We've arrived in Corfu! It is amazing. The moment we got off the plane it just smelt like an island. Stupid thing to say, I know. But it's the only way I know to describe it. I thought Athens was beautiful, and it is, however Corfu in my mind takes the win handsdown. The beaches here are amazing. Once again our accommodation didn't go off to a great start. Before we left Madison and I decided upon a backpackers called 'Sunrock Backpackers' on Pelekas beach. I can now safely tell you to not book there. It is terrible. Once we got off the plane we realised that I forgot to get cash out in Athens and the only ATM was out of order. So not only did the taxi driver need to take us to an ATM but he also had no idea where this 'Sunrock' place even was. I was is mass distress due to the language barrier and Madison found it highly amusing (I have videos.. they are kind of funny). Once the taxi driver asked two other men we eventually got to this place we were supposed to stay at. All I can say is that I literally dropped my bags and ran after the taxi. There was no way Madison and I we're staying there. It looked like a dump. We then asked the taxi driver to take us to the nicer looking hotel up the road. And this is where it gets exciting! There was ONE room available and it would cost us 100EUR each per night to stay there. However!! It is a 5 star all inclusing resort! UM YES THANK YOU! We quite promptly hit up our savings accounts for that! It is now safe to say that I am writing this on my phone whilst sipping on an included cocktail, sitting on a deck chair looking over the beach and islands. Tomorrow we plan on going into the village and then tanning all afternoon. How's your day been? xxx
