Up earlyish on Thursday we drove around the bottom of the island, a lovely coastal road. A lot of the driving reminded me of the coromandel in terms of windiness. We found what we considered to be a real beach and spent some time swimming there. The water is so clear... by Tracey | Jul 20, 2001 | Greek Islands
Friday was our last full day in Agios Gordios so we planned a day by the beach. It was very windy and we lost our umbrella a couple of times. As a result we did not swim but simply relaxed on our sun loungers. We had an incredibly long night ahead of us as our bus was... by Tracey | Jul 19, 2001 | Greek Islands
Tour two followed tour one with a very early start to be ready for our island cruise. The boat was quite large, probably holding about 200 people. After following the east coast south out first stop was the island of Paxos. We took a mini excursion to the Blue Caves.... by Tracey | Jul 18, 2001 | Greek Islands
On Wednesday, I decided we should walk to a village called Sinarades, nearby our hotel. I had seen the sign for the walking path so assumed it was possible to walk there. We should of guessed that it would be a mountain climbing exercise due to our surroundings but at... by Tracey | Jul 17, 2001 | Greek Islands
Tuesday was another pool day with a lovely dinner at the A La Carte restaurant at the hotel. We decided to try the hotel’s after dinner entertainment as Tuesday night was local night (they normally had entertainment flown in from Britain) and so there were Greek... by Tracey | Jul 16, 2001 | Greek Islands
Enough relaxing yesterday, meant we were keen for more exploration of the island on Monday. We took a bus to Corfu town, and then we had intended to go to to the east coast to Gouvia but the man at the bus station couldn’t have been less interested so we ended... by Tracey | Jul 15, 2001 | Greek Islands
Sunday was pool day, so with all the other Brits in our hotel, we nabbed a sun lounger each and baked for a while. It was at this stage we realised our sun cream was rather good, and we were going to go back to England as white as we arrived if we didn’t remedy... by Tracey | Jul 14, 2001 | Greek Islands
After being trapped in England for over a year we finally escaped to the Greek island of Corfu for seven days of sun, sun, sun. At such short notice a package tour seemed like the easiest idea. We were keen to not do the Manchester by the sea deal so we choose... by Tracey | Dec 27, 1999 | Rovaniemi
Today was one big plane ride. It will take us 12 hours to get home including stops in Helsinki and Frankfurt. Not something to look forward to. I really enjoyed the whole experience I was never cold. I always say anything new is the best thing I’ve done but so... by Tracey | Dec 26, 1999 | Rovaniemi
Today we took a snow mobiling safari. We got all kitted up in snowsuits and helmets. The snowmobile was a two-seater so Gavin took control. It was a lot like a water ski. Our guide was very nice. In single file, we followed our guide along the frozen river. Gavin...
