Mareblue Beach Resort

As you all know, we like our cheap holidays.  This one so far has turned out to be a gem.  We really like the hotel and service and the food is great which seems to have made us very lazy.  Its Thursday already and these are the first words I have written and its the first time I have downloaded my photo’s.  In fact I only just booked the internet for a week with only have of our week remaining.  However, it doesn’t seem to work; another trip to reception I suppose.

We arrived in Corfu about 15 minutes early but had to wait for an age before our bus left.  When he did leave, he went so slow it was painful.  We were desperate for a drink before the bar closed at 11pm.  If we had a man with a red flag walking in front of us it would have gone faster.  There were five drops at different hotels but thankfully ours was the second drop.  However it still took an hour and thirty five minutes of driving and an hour before we left.  This is the reason that we don't normally take the transfers.  We had about 20 minutes while the bar was free then we had to pay for it.  We had been talking to the couple behind us on the coach, Shane and Holly who are both 25.  We ended up with a session at the bar with them until about 2.30am and couldn’t find our room in the dark.  We hadn’t even took our cases back to the room.  Claire gave up and went to sleep in the middle of the path while I eventually found it, dumped the bags and when back for Claire who was being helped up by two couples.

We felt like death in the morning and following breakfast went back to bed and not emerging until lunch time.  We had a shower, went for lunch and then back to bed for the afternoon.  It was raining anyway.  We met up with Shane and Holly again for dinner and had another session.  Shane had started at around 10am so we had some catching up to do.  The following morning it was sunny so we went for a walk to the beach and around our surrounding area.  Very little around other than a restaurant and a supermarket.  There is not even an ATM so I am very short on money.  Good job we don’t need any.  Claire lost her handbag last night and it had all her credit cards, phone and Kindle in it.  Luckily someone had handed it into reception.  Tomorrow we have booked a quad bike for the day so we are looking forward to that.  Shane and Holly have one as well so it should be fun.

Sorry I haven't took many pictures yet but we have either been in bed or at the bar.  Claire has gone down to the pool but its too hot for me; I refer to stay in bed and read as its nice and cool.  I took a picture of this little bush because it plays music.  They have them all around the grounds and I love them.  Shame I cant find Claire’s camera because I know she has took more pictures than me.  I need to take my computer to reception to see if I can get wifi reception there and log on to post this.  I guess that I will do another post after our little outing on the quad’s.
