Corfu, Greece

We got on a bus and rode 20 minutes out of town to the famous Achilleon Palace which Elizabeth Hapsburg built because she loved Greece so much. She was very fond of Greek Mythology and Achilles was her favorite she had many statues of the Gods all around and in her home. The view from her back courtyard was beautiful overlooking the town and the coast. It was fun to tour her home and then we saw the famous Mouse Island and went to the big shopping center and ate some local cuisine some delicious eggplant lasagna it was scrumptious!
Bloopers from the trip
I thought i would show off my balancing skills on a short bus ride to our plane on the runway in Paris. Seconds later the driver hit the brakes and I had to adjust my feet to keep from falling over. As I did this I stomped on someones foot behind me and it sounded like an old lady yelping loudly I didn't dare turn around. But of course I had to and there was a man in his nice business suit. Sorry I said and he said no worries it'll be something to remember the trip by. Luckily I didn't have the seat next to him.
On our 7am flight from Venice to Paris I noticed the front of the plane was rather empty. I thought it would be nice to have my own row and get a little more sleep. As we took off and the instance the seat belt sign went off I left my seat near the back of the plane and swiftly moved to the 3rd row. A minute later the flight attendant got up and closed some curtains 2 rows behind me, and as I was putting it together that I was now seated in first class the flight attendant put a delicious breakfast in front of me. My delicious breakfast consisted of a few slices of cheese with a baguette, some fresh fruit and a creme brulle. Needless to say Jeff was rather jealous. I thought to bad this isn't the flight from Paris to Seattle!
Ok for the last silly thing that happened and don't ask me why they all happened to me. As Jeff and I stroll through the streets of Venice I start to feel thirsty and see a cute little water fountain. It has a beautiful stream of water and I have to bend down quite low to get a big drink. Jeff is baffled and looking at me and the fountain and I come up saying why is this fountain so low. He says yeah I don't know what that is for but I don't think you should have drank out of it. Then I realize it is for pets/dogs. After having a bad stomach flu on our last vacation. I began to get worried that I was going to get sick. The rest of that day I was overly paranoid that I was going to get sick any minute. Thank heavens I was fine and never got sick from the cute little dog watering fountain.

Santorini, Greece

Ok it was difficult to pick a favorite destination on this amazing vacation with my sweetheart but this is at the top of the list. As you can see in the picture there is a steep cliff up to the top to reach the city and our options were take a cable car up or walk up 600 and some steps or last but not least ride a donkey and of course I couldn't pass up the only chance I have ever had to ride a donkey, and yes this was the stinkiest choice but very fun Jeff had the bigger donkey and it was wearing a metal mouth guard and I soon learned why every time my donkey tried to pass Jeff's it would try to bite my donkey! It was definately an experience. We reached the top in about 20 minutes around 8am. We rented a 4wheeler and headed for the other end of the island, and after stoping at a bakery on the way and eating a very sweet and gooey pastry. We checked out a couple different beaches and found a very nice soft black sand beach where we swam in the ocean and relaxed. Then we sat for lunch at a restaurant right on the beach, and this is where the waiter brought me out a whole fish on my plate which was quite intimidating at first but ended up being the best meal and fish I have ever had mmmmm good little mullet fish. And the beauty of the dark rock cliffs and the white wash buildings is breath taking. I am sure you have seen this island on many movies like Mama Mia and Sisterhood of the Traveling pants are a few.

Dubrovnik, Croatia

This was our first stop on our cruise and Wow was it cool. We went to the old city that was build inside a huge city wall that is built up on the side of the cliff over the ocean. The Croatians surrounded the city with this huge city wall to protect themselves from the Greeks and Romans that tried many times to take the land. Inside the city is beautiful churches an old pharmacy and the streets are made with beautiful white marble. It took Jeff and I an hour to walk completely around the city wall.(that is without a tour guide)
