Corfu: Trip to Paxos and Antipaxos x

Hey Guys!!

 

The last excursion we did was Paxos and Antipaxos, which are two small Islands about 2 hours from where we were staying on a boat.

 

The first one we went to was Antipaxos, with this Island you can't actually go on it, you just get a chance to jump off the boat into the sea. I actually faced my fear and went into the sea with Llewellyn, we did have life jackets on as we can't swim!! I was petrified, I could literally feel a panic attack coming on, I made Llewellyn hold my hand and wouldn't let go ha ha The water was very, very clear, it was as if we were in a pool.

 

I was a bit indulged in my book!!

Scary Stuff!!

We then went on from here passing a few caves to Paxos. We could go onto Paxos as you could go on a little tour of the Island, when I say it took an hour to get round because it's that small, I'm not lying!! It literally took an hour but was so nice to see. Then we went and sat in a little snack bar, I had some chocolate ice cream and Llewellyn had a mini beer and a bowl of crisps.

Corfu: Trip to Albania x

Hey Guys!!

 

Continuing with my holiday posts I'm now going to show you the places we visited while we were in Corfu. When we are away we always have a look to see what excursions we can go or would like to go on. I must admit there were a lot of fantastic excursions on offer and it was hard to decide.

 

One excursion we decided on was Albania, I think they are only just opening up to Tourism as there wasn't a lot of tourist-y things to do. We could've gone on the little tour they provided which was 20 Euros and we could've seen some ruins.

 

We had to get a boat over to Albania and you also have to go through Passport Control to go there because its outside the EU (correct me if I'm wrong). It was only half hour on the boat which was nice but it amazed me when we got there how hot it was compared to Corfu. We had a little walk around to see what sort of shops were about not many at all, we managed to get a magnet though so we were happy.

 

We noticed some signs for this place called the Blue Eye Spring so we decided to get a taxi and have a look at this place. It was ok, I was a little disappointed as it wasn't as big as I expected, it literally took us 5/10 minutes to walk around it. We had paid the taxi 40 Euros there and back so it was a little annoying but we got some beautiful pictures there. The water was so clear, you could literally see to the bottom of the water.

 

I will now leave you with a few pictures from our trip there.

This was delicious



Deep Sea World

Hey Guys!!

 

The other attraction we went to was Deep Sea World, if you don't already know I love zoos' and aquariums and want to try and visit every single one of them :)

 

This is only small but you get to see a lot of different fish and reptiles, they also had 2 seals that really didn't like having their photo taken so we had to sneakily take it :) The one fish we seen I must admit I thought was a rock at first until it started swimming about.

 

Here are some pictures of some the different fish and reptiles, also 1 seal :)

 

This was the biggest lobster I had ever seen

The fish that looks like a rock

 

One of the things I was looking forward to in this aquarium was the fact they had a tunnel that you went around on a travelator and it had the biggest sharks I have ever seen in an aquarium :) It was so cool, you can  also dive with the sharks but you have to book that :)

 

On our way to the shark tunnel

 

I loved every minute of it and would definitely recommend this aquarium :) Sorry the pictures of the sharks are not very clear but it was hard as they kept moving :)

 

I also had a 'selfie' with a seal haha

 

 

If you would like to have a look at the Deep Sea World website, go ahead as I think its a lovely place to take children as well as just adults :)

Royal Yacht Britannia

Hey Guys!!

 

As you can see from the above picture, while in Scotland we went to the Royal Yacht Britannia. This Yacht belongs to the Queen and is stationed here and is used for people to tour.

 

It didn't take long to get there from our hotel, it was about half an hour, give or take with traffic of course. You actually have to go through a shopping centre to then go through to the Yacht, which you start from the top of and work your way down to the engine room.

 

Here is a picture before we got on the Yacht.

 

 

Me and Llewellyn love things like this as we love learning about the history behind things and I like to imagine what sort of things they got up to on the Yacht.

 

The whole tour is on audio and each section that you get to you have to type in the number for that section and it will tell you the history and what happened in that section. The audio 'tools' I said looked like retro mobile phones :)

 

 

A lot of the rooms were so big, I didn't even think the Yacht looked big enough to hold these rooms. Especially as I think it was the 3rd or 4th level that had a drawing room and it was so big and it was all softly furnished and carpeted all the way through.

 

Here are a few of my favourite rooms :)

 

Prince Phillips Room

The Queens Room

State Dining Room

The Drawing Room

Here is a link to the Royal Yacht Britannia Website and you can have a look around and maybe take a visit :)
