Ferry good

It was moving day today, and it was a big move so we were travelling most of the day. We were up early because we had a ferry to catch and it was going to be quite a long trip. We had mostly packed last night so it was just the final bits and pieces to organise . Our bags are so full that Jess said I had to leave 2 cans of beer. This was quite a wrench, I had become very attached to those beers and it was not easy saying goodbye, but I realised that some times in life you just have to move on. So we headed out into the heat and walked down to the port to wait for our ferry. We had really loved Paxi and I think we wished we could have stayed a bit longer, it is such an amazing place, so relaxed and incredibly scenic, but we were booked on a boat so that was our plan.
The ferry actually comes from Corfu and makes several stops at a few different islands, so there were already people on board and not loads of seating so we had to share a table with a couple of 18 year olds. We did the whole ‘so where are you going’ and ‘what are you doing’ conversational chit chat and at one point covered the fact that they had been to Berlin and we also had been to Berlin and we all thought it was a really cool place. It made me laugh though when they asked if we had gone clubbing while we were there. The trip on the ferry was mostly uneventful, we got to see a few islands from the viewpoint of the boat but obviously not much else, it was hot but there was a nice breeze where we were on the top deck. It was fairly boring, 7 hours on the boat which I mostly spent reading, so it was nice when we finally arrived at the port of Sami on the island of Kefalonia. We picked up our hire car and drove to our accommodation, which is in quite a rural location in the middle of the island so is definitely not the coolest of spots. Where we are staying has a very strong smell, Jess describes it as being like a really cheap perfume that you would use to cover up cigarette smoke or cat piss, that you can taste and which permeates every part of your senses. She is not a fan. The hosts live next door, the property is actually divided in two, and they very thoughtfully left us a home made chocolate cake in the fridge which was massively appreciated as it was incredibly delicious. It was polished off very quickly. Apart from that we have just relaxed, it is very tiring travelling all day so we were not up for anything else really, we can start checking out the island tomorrow:Read more
