This is my blog to document my travels over the next five months while I work on the Norwegian Cruise ship, the Pearl. We will be cruising Alaska, British Columbia and Seattle. The previous entries told of my trip three years ago around the Ionian and Aegean Seas, visiting Italy, Greece, and Turkey along the way! Stay tuned for lots of stories and pictures of my adventure!

Day 25 – May 24, 2010 – Corfu, Bye to Sydney and Get Down Tonight!


Today, we were back in Corfu and Eric, Pieter and I went out to lunch at the other crew discount restaurant, Aegli, with one of the nurses, Sydney, who is leaving the ship on Saturday for his vacation. He’s really great and we’ll all miss him and his sense of humor!









I got my first taste of spanikopita, which was amazing!!















 
After lunch, Eric departed and the three of us walked around the bazaar district a bit in search of wifi… We found the greatest treasure so far at this really great place called Café del Art. It was this sort of gothic/romantic café with tons of handmade candles (by the owner of the café), playing country music and serving a huge menu of exotic teas from around the world. In honor of our two South African medical staff, we all had Vanilla Roiboos Tea. It was really a lovely place and we all were totally at home there online, Sydney taking pictures and looking out the window onto the tiny alleyway the café was located on. We’ll definitely be back!

This week we only have two shows while the entertainment department is busy restructuring our itinerary as a 14-day cruise. As it stands now, we’ll do Colorz and World Beat one week and Get Down Tonight and World Beat the next. There are guest entertainers who fill in the extra nights, which opens up the production show cast’s schedule quite a bit. We’ll see how long it lasts! For me, it means more time to go ashore, hang out and well, relax! :)

  1. It's also known as Red Bush tea; although it's not a true tea.

    My SA friend brought me some. Tazo also has some that is pretty decent.

  2. HEY Chris! Love to see your comments here... I had no idea it wasn't a true tea and I'll have to look into the Tazo brand. :) xo
