I have lost my voice, my head hurts, I'm sunburn, my feet ache and I'm exhausted, but it was all worth it. When I walk out of my white hillside apartment on to the patio and look down on the Mediterranean Beach Party, I am reminded how much fun it all

Spectacular! Stunning! Gorgeous! These are a few words that come to mind. Low-lying clouds hug the rugged mountains forming lenticular clouds. They blow over and the sun reveals a green Greek island. Unlike, Mykonos, Corfu is lush and green. The water is crystal clear. The earth is freckled with sedimentary rock

My arms are aching but I do not mind. Just a little bit further. We keep paddling. It is so beautiful I feel my heart beat a bit faster from the excitement. I wish I had brought my underwater camera, but the mental snapshot will not fade. The scenery distracts me

I´m Freezing! I can´t sleep. I keep rearranging the blankets thinking that there must be a gap that is letting in the cold damp air. There isn´t. It has been raining for days. Even hailing! My 20Euro savings per night hardly seems worth it. Camping was a bad idea. I am miserable.
