Sarah's ramblings about her trip to Europe March-July 2003
So I’m sick! I’ve been sick for almost a week, and it sucks! I barely have a voice and my sinuses are so congested. Ugggg, anyhow, that’s why I haven’t updated this lately, all I’ve been doing is sleeping and resting.
Yesterday was quite fun though, my dad said we were going out for dinner, and I wasn’t going to bring my passport but grabbed it at the last minute. Which ended up being a good idea because we ended up at a winery in Austria for dinner :-) We were going to go to Hungary but decided that it would be too late by the time we got home.
And today we’re going to a cabin near the Czech border, so more cross boarder adventures are sure to come in the next week.
I really can’t believe that I’m gonna be home in 2 and a half weeks. Too soon, but that’s life…school in just over a month is quite scary as I’m not sure if I’m ready to go back!
*Sigh* the pink palace is everything that i've ever heard about it plus some. I'm more relaxed now than i have been in years and it's awesome! Our 3 days turned into 7, which the staff laugh at because it happens so often. There's a nightclub in the resort, which allows for lots of fun although too many late nights. We've been napping a lot though! Heehee our normal day is to wake up at 10:30 to make it to breakfast by 11, and then back up to bed until 2 or 3, then we head down to the beach until about 5 or 6, and then shower and clean up for dinner at 8:30, and then dance the night away until usually 3AM. It's great fun, although it's gonna be hard to get back onto a regular schedule after this. And sadly today we're leaving this amazing place :-(
On the fourth of july they had a toga party which was so much fun. Everyone wears pink satin togas and drink ouzo this greek liquor that tastes like licorice and then they break plates over your head. I even got to save a piece of the plate as a souvenir They also had greek dancers but i missed them. Shannon, Karen and i all felt like barbie when we were trying to get our togas on though :-) It was great fun, even though it wasn't canada day :-( The canadians beat the americans at the drinking contest though so i guess that makes up for it!!! In my heart it was canada day :-)
I really can hardly believe that this part of my trip is almost over. It's been a great 2 months and i'm really sad that it's over. I'll never forget the millions of memories i've made and all the friends i've made along the way. Although it will be good to be back in Vancouver in a month, i'll always remember lying on the beach in Greece :-) Although i don't think my liver can handle anymore of Greece at this point ;-)
If i don't update this page for the next bit, i'm sorry....i'll probably be sleeping for the next week :-) That is if i survive the 36 hour trip back to my dad's......
Hi everyone! Just relaxing at the pink palace on Corfu in Greece. It's absolutely amazing here except that everything is painted pink! And to think that not even a month ago i refused to even consider coming here...now shannon, Karen and i are relaxing in a airconditioned hotel room and get breakfast and dinner cooked for us everyday...i'm beginning to understand why people choose resorts. The cool thing is that it isn't even that much more expensive than the hostels we were staying at in Paris, Rome and London. So yeah, I'm off to the beach to work on my already incredible tan!
Happy Canada day to everyone...we spent it on a ferry/cruise ship between Italy and Greece swimming in the pool, drinking coronas and lounging on deck chairs! It was awesome :-)
