That Big Blog I Said About...

Hi Everyone. I heard today that people do actually read this thing so today I am going to try and write good one today. O the 22nd I got on a 2 night ferry from Venice to Greece. Venice was good and we went out first at about 6ish and we spent the evening out. We went out again and when mum and Rhys first went out to see Harry Potter 7 and we went to the Venice Museam and we climbed up this bell tower in the San Marco square. The tower was really old and it fell down about 4 times. This one time it got hit by lightning and this other time a crack appear at the bottom and after like 3 days the crack had spread to the bell tower and it fell down and only one of the bells survived. They rebuilt the bell tower every time it fell down with all the bits they could risky and it was really cool but when we were up there the bells went of and it was sooooooooooooooooooooo loud!
When we were in the museum we saw all the old armour and guns and spears and thing. They also had thoughs old globes and they had models of the old ships. On one of the models it had two anchors on the fount and the anchor on the left had been round around a little piller but the one on the right hadn't. I was upset about this because there was like no way into the glass case it was in and I am quite a perfectionist, when I see something that is not right I have this urge to put it right and it upset me because I knew that no one would ever put it right because it was sealed into a glass case. Any way they also had a room full of coins and they had pretty much every coin that had ever been printed in Venice and all the machines they used to make the coins to! They had this one solid gold coin that was made at the time to rival the Florin called the Duket! The museum (witch I keep wanting to right a musee because I have been in France and Italy) was really good and I thourly recommend it. It was called The Venice Museum of Architecture and it is just of the main square.
So I got on the ferry. The first night was fine and the port was right next to our camp-site. They did make us go up to the like 4th floor with Kermie towing Huwie and everything witch was slightly inconsiderate but we made it. The food wasn't to good but we had a nice cheese and ham toasty up on the top deck during a few games of bridge, poker, Bullshit and lists. I was rubbish at poker and I bet all my sugars (witch we were using as chips) and then had to fold when I ran out. I would have lost anyway but. We always play bridge and I can usually stand about 2 games but as anyone who has played chess with me will know after about half a game ( or the third game in the case of bridge) I tend to get pretty board! I always drop out when I play chess and it reallllllllllllllllllyyyyyyyyyyyyy annoys Rhys because he loves chess. Bullshit is known under many (usually less obcean names) such as cheat, rubbish, and lier. It is especially pick back but you try to cheat as much as you can and if you think they are cheating you shout cheat when they place down. If they are then they must pick up the pile but if they were not they the prosecutor does instead. My brother always says cheat even if you are not cheating. Its an interesting approach to the game. Now if you haven't played lists then you haven't lived! List is where everyone involved picks a category and you each right them all down on a piece of paper. You then have 5 mins to think up and Wright down every thing you can think of that falls under each category belonging to a certain letter. For instance I would say “any fictional character”. Rhys would say “foot ball teams”. Jen would say animals mum would say Countries and dad would spend ages thinking and probably say something like Colours One person would then count the alphabet and one other would say stop. And say you get M you would have to list all the things you could for each category beginning with M
So I know this blog is now really late (soz) but I have been quite busy (everyone reading thinks yer right) but we have been in Gythion now for about 3 months. we've had Christmas! We've been to the caves of Diros (but not on the boat). We've met this ozzy family who gave us a load of movies and ow I met your mother! And the IT crowd! Big shout out to Lou, mac and Jo! Had a great time with you guys!
But I got side tracked at list right so the ferry was very bad and on the last night the waves were so big they were hitting our window. We were on the seventh floor.
After the ferry we pretty much drove till we hit Gythio.
This camp site is great apart from the internet is only at the reception its quite windy on the greek premier windsurfing beach, the building, the toilets, and the scary dogs but apart from that it really is good. And so is the actually town we loooooooooooove Aurora. Internet the second best hot chocolates in the world (according to Rhys) football on the T.V nice loo's it couldn't be better! Any way there will soon be a few new blogs up so I will talk to you later peeps!
