Corfu Greece day 14

Woke up earlier this morning and left for the boat day I signed up for. We left on the boat right from the beach that's only a 5 minute walk for me. There were a lot of people on the boat, for sure more than 30 I'd say, a big group of Italians and then a lot of Spanish people. It wasn't until a few hours in that I actually heard people speaking English. It was a couple and their daughter from England, talked with them for a little on the boat before we got to our first stop. 

We stopped at the first beach to swim while the crew cooked up the BBQ lunch. It was a deserted beach so that was nice that we had the entire place to ourselves. I swam for a little and did some snorkeling, then laid on the beach until the BBQ was ready. We ate lunch and then I quickly swam for a little longer before we all headed back on the boat. 

We sailed to a little village for an hour, some people swam and some went into the village for shopping. I went to a little restaurant right beside the port and had ice cream and just relaxed in the shade until it was time to go. 

We left on the boat again and went to another desrter beach, for sure my favorite part of the day and my favorite place to have swam the entire time I was in Corfu! The water was unbelievably clear! The photos I have basically do it justice, the water and the beach were amazing! 

After a while we left on the boat and then stopped one last time to swim beside the caves. Super cool experience! We got lead into the caves and it got super tight inside and the only way to get out was to swim underneath it! If you went by yourself with a boat you would never know that was even possible. We also climbed up the side of the caves and jumped off into the water.

After this we headed back to shore, it was a very long day in the sun, more than 7 hours so when I got back I walked to the hotel and relaxed inside my room for awhile before going out again. I didn't really have the opportunity to do anything tonight because my flight for Athens departed at 6:45 am so I had to be up at 4am. So clearly getting crazy in the clubs was not an option tonight. 

I did go out walking for a little, stopped every once and awhile in the shops around my hotel, then headed back and went to bed so I could be up and at it at 4 for Athens!
