Day seven my final day in Corfu:

     Today I will be going horseback riding on trails with the Sally the owner of the horses. When I got there I was greeted by Sally and her dogs. She was very nice, her horses looked like they where well fed and taken care off. The entire trip took about two hours, during those two hours she took us through the local countryside and a village. Everybody we passed seemed to know Sally, they where all very nice to us. When we got back to the stables we fed the horses and drank water that was very refreshing. When I was done there I went home and ate lunch. Then I went swimming, when I was done swimming i went to my hotel and went to bed because I have to catch a early flight.

    

     This is the map of corfu i'm only visiting a small part of it in these three days that I am here.

Day five:

     For the next three days I will be in Corfu Greece having lots of fun. Today I will be visiting Aqualand, Aqualand is a water park. Aqualand is great for all ages before I went I read some reviews most said it was a great place for all ages. One said that they had fun bet they wouldn't go back they also said there was a wasp problem and I hate wasp so I kept my eyes open for them when I went. When I left Aqualand I was happy that I had went. Swimming always make me tired so I went back to my hotel and went to sleep.

     

     Day six:

     Today i'm going to the Archeology museum. The museum was originally built to house the findings of the temple of Artemis the goddess of the hunt and wild. In 1994 it expanded, it got two more exhibit halls that display the more recent finds at the ancient citadel in Corfu. When I was done at the museum I went back to my hotel and ate lunch, my lunch consisted of a Philly cheese steak which is weird because I never thought i would find a place that sells that in Corfu, Greece. After I ate lunch I just walked around and tried to find things that where interesting and caught my attention. Unfortunently I didn't find anything so I walked back to my hotel and went to bed after I ate dinner.

     

Day four:
           Today I am flying to Corfu the next city, well I guess I should say island i'm visiting in Europe. Corfu is located in the most northern part of the Ionian group,  and lays at the entrance to the Adriatic sea. It is the second largest island in the Ionian. I just got off my plane and checked into my hotel, I was tired so I ate something the took a nap. When I woke up and looked at a clock I was mad because it was to late to go out and see anything so I stayed in my hotel and ordered room service then I watched some T.V. Sooner or later I slowly drifted off to sleep thinking what I will do tomorrow and how much fun it will be.

Here is a map of Athens to show you where I have been.

Greece, My First Stop In Europe

Day one:

I am currently visiting Greece; Greece is my first stop in Europe I have always wanted to go to Greece because I love history and I read about Greece a lot in books. I am staying in Athens and I have visited the Parthenon today, the Parthenon is a giant temple created in honor of Athena the Greek goddess of war and wisdom. I will be staying in Athens for three days then I will travel to Corfu, Corfu is a island in the Ionian sea. Today I also visited the temple of Zeus the god of the sky, then later in the day I visited the temple of Hephaestus the god of the forge, the temples are both in pretty decent shape. After that I went back to my hotel and ate dinner then I went to bed.

Day two:

Today I am going to visit the Acropolis, a Acropolis is a large hill with a flat top kinda like a plateau. The Acropolis was made from 447BC- 438BC the Acropolis was made for defensive purposes in times of war. After I spent most of the afternoon at the Acropolis I decided to take a break and eat lunch I went to a restaurant and had a sandwich, it was very good. Then after I ate I went to check out the tomb of the unknown soldier here you can see soldiers in armor and feed pigeons. When I was done I went home and I ate dinner after that I went to sleep for the night.   

Day three my final day in Athens:

Today I woke up and had a very cheery breakfast of fruit and yogurt. After I ate my breakfast I went to The National Archeology Museum I stayed at this museum for the whole day it was so interesting. The first things I saw where ancient Greek pottery, sculptures and jewelry next I found a very interesting item it was a 2000 year old computer that the Greeks had made doesn't that just make you wonder how advanced they really where? After the 2000 year old computer I took a break for lunch, today I packed my own lunch it had a turkey sandwich with chips and a drink. When I was done with my lunch I packed it up and started walking through the museum, trying to find interesting exhibits. After i had looked at pretty much everything I went back to my hotel and went to bed.
