Our Honeymoon

We arrived in Corfu on Monday to the worst rain! We had to wait for our "honeymoon suite" to become ready & after waiting for an hour (after being told 10 mins) we were told it wouldnt be ready til the next day! So we got moved to another room that didnt even have a double bed! It didt have a bath only a scummy shower & the windows didnt close properly so it was freezing all the time!
We ended up down by the bar & asked where the entertain ment was only to be told that they didnt do entertainment at the end of season! So i went to order a malibu & was told only beer, wine, ouzo, and some other greek shite was free & malibu was €5! I wouldnt pay a fiver for a drink at home so i wasnt about to pay it abroad! So i stuck to the lemonade!
We got chatting to a guy who arrived the same day & he was moaning that the drinks were watered down (which they werent!).
So we went to bed...
Next day we woke & it was sunny!! We had booked a trip into town for 4pm so we decided to explore until then....
We discovered that there was NOTHING in walking distance from the hotel except a supermarket, skooter hire place & a beach (stones not sand) so we ended up at the beach. I was collecting rocks for Max (He loves them as he says they are Makka Pakka's stones! lol! ) when i slipped over & hurt my foot! I cut all my toe & it wouldnt stop bleeding! :(
It eventually stopped when a woman gave me a plaster which made me feel like i was about 5 years old!
We then saw a lady & her mum who asked us if we'd seen the guy that was moaning about the watered down drinks because he hadnt come back that night (he was the lady's brother). We said we hadnt seen him since the night before so the manager called the hospital. It turns out that the drinks were so watered down to make him drunk- he walked up the mountain, slipped & broke his leg in two places! He shouldnt of drunk so much but i did feel bad for him because the hospital conditions sounded awful!!

We went into town & being the end of season, most shops were closed but we went to a lovely restaurant. We were going to order some champagne but looked at the price & thought better of it! €250! Madness! Never the less, we had a fantastic meal & a great night.
We got back to the hotel & got talking to a couple from Birmingham & hit it off straight away. They are similar ages to us so we spent the rest of the night drinking with them before heading off to bed!
Oh yeah- we had a nicer room by this point which had a gorgeous sea view! I took a pic on sunrise one day & it was beautiful!
The next day it was rainy so we got the bus into town so that we didnt have to stay couped up at the hotel with the rude staff & crap food! We spent the day buying pressies for people & went to another restaurant before coming home.
We bough Max a tshirt and a wooden snake that moves. We got Alfie a tshirt, a pull alone wooden dog & one of those wooden things that you shake (an instrament- cant remember the name!). We got Nicole a bracelet, mum perfume, dad some kumkuat drink, lianne a keyring. Me & Dru bought ourselves some watches, and a ring each. I got a bracelet & earrings too. He got himself a belt & a shisha pipe & flavoured tabacco.
We went back to the hotel, had dinner & smoked some shisha while it started raining again!
We met another couple who had also got married on Saturday & we swapped wedding stories....

Over the next few days, we spent it at the beach or at the fishing village where we had the beach all to ourselves!! It was lovely!
Dru tried his hand at fishing but had no luck- i spent the time sunbathing!

Apart from the crap hotel food, rude staff, lack of entertainment and millions of wasps where they didnt wipe the sides if something was spilt- it was good!
We had a fab time!
