Day 1 on the Vonitsa boat
Just arrived and the place is beautiful, very picturesque, there's gorgeous blue sea and the sun is beaming down on us. Met up with my Uncle Robin and Kirsty who bought us some beers to welcome us (they were the ones who persuaded us to do this holiday). Now I have eaten nothing but some plane food and a bacon roll in about 11 hours so am pouring this beer into an empty stomach, not to mention I don't ever actually drink beer, so after about 3 large bottles, you can guess I'm a bit tipsy right now, haha, that's a little pathetic but what can I say, I'm not usually a drinker!
Now sitting in Syvota bay and it is just the complete opposite of home, for one thing its enjoyable and I could stay here forever! The boat itself is quite amazing, very small, kinda like a caravan that floats, but I like things like that, its cozy and personal and comfortable, well for me anyway. My room is literally made up of a bed, a cupboard next to the bed and about 2 feet of space to stand between the bed and the door, but like I said, I don't mind! Cannot wait to set sail tomorrow but for right now all I need is sleep, I'm exhausted, been up since 4am BST and got 2 hours sleep last night!
I'm moving side to side and feel very dizzy, not sure if its the boat or my tipsiness?
Dinner was beautiful, the food is so fresh and flavourful here, I had souvlaki, kinda like a kebab stick, and it was so nice, and apparently the food only gets better from here on out so I'll be letting you know of some of my favourite foods a long the way!
Till tomorrow dear friends!

Long time no speak!
14th of August was my last blog post, it's now 23rd of September, shame on me. What can I say the last months been a blur, I went on holiday a week after my last blog and I was so busy before that finishing coursework. Holiday was AMAZING by the way and my next few blogs will be my Holiday Blog, I wrote up every day of my holiday on my phone and will type it up here. Well, two weeks ago, I got home from my holiday and was thrown back into college lifestyle, so have been very busy lately.
Holiday Blog
So for two weeks I went sailing around the Ionian Islands in Greece, my family and I rented a boat called Vonitsa and we went flotilla sailing with a company name Sailing Holidays Ltd (I thoroughly recommend). Flotilla sailing is when you go sailing with a group of boats with a load of people you don't know and a lead crew made up of a Hostee, Skipper and an Engineer. In my next few blog posts I will be going over what happened day to day on this holiday, so beware, it could be pretty lengthy. But I'm sure you'll enjoy it because every day we went somewhere different and everyday there was a different story. So read on and I hope you like it!
