Day 5

Today we started a bit of a tiki tour of the Vasilikos peninsula (where we are staying), this tour really consisted of lazing at the biggest beach in Vasilikos, Ag. Nikolaos, the worst thing being that they charged you for the sun loungers and umbrellas here! There were supposed to be thunderstorms all day today but whilst there were big black clouds, lightning and thunder all around it never seemed to hit Zakynthos. We also went to the Gerakas beach but sadly there were none of the endangered Loggerhead turtles to be seen. We then headed over to the 'English' part of Zakynthos, i.e. Laganas. This is where all the poms congregate drinking in English pubs and hanging out with other Brits, was good to look around, catch a feed and it had a great beach even though it was blowing a gale due to the dodgy weather around. Today was also my first experience of right hand side of the road driving which I handled with aplomb, though I am unsre if my passengers will agree. Anyways I didn't crash, the Greeks do have a rep as the worst drivers in Europe. Finally we wandered through the capital of Zak, Zante, a town of 11,000, it was cool to walkdown all the old streetsthough when we turned up it was during the 2-6 pm period when all the shops are shut, ah well. More Mythos was drunk and crap talked into the night.
