Biddie Boat!

And finally.... the moment we had all been waiting for... drum roll please... FIELD TRIP CRUISE BLOG POST!!!!!!!!!!  Can I just say that this cruise was the most amazing experience of my life.  It had the perfect balance of visiting beautiful places and copious amounts of alcohol.  So much alcohol.  Unlimited alcohol.

So here's a quick run down of the places we visited:

VENICE: Beautiful, I'm in love with water taxis.  All cities should be planned like this.  I also got some delish gelato and pizza and a not so great 4 euro cup of coffee.

DUBROVNIK: I was so excited for Croatia, and it did not disappoint.  We took a mildly boring walking tour, where we found out that GAME OF THRONES was filmed there the previous week! I proceeded to take pictures of everything in hopes that I'll remember it when the episode comes on.  We also took a great glass boat tour.  Other people went swimming, which I personally was jealous of.  You win some you lose some!

CORFU: There really wasn't much in Corfu except for a beach (rocks where you can jump into the water) where Forrest and I skinny dipped and a lot of cute shops.  I bought a gorgeous grecian dress that was probably way over priced but hey, I liked it!

KATAKOLON: The original Olympic games were held here, which was pretty neat.  I found it funny when certain members of our group were hung over and puking in thousands of years old ruins.  Also we held Olympic games where David and I totally won the piggy back race (to be fair, our opponents boob popped out so we may have had an advantage)

SANTORINI: By far my FAVORITE island.  Not enough time on it though.  We hiked a volcano, which was sweet but since we're all lards from drinking and eating too much on this trip it was struggle city.  Then we rode some asses up the mountain.  The burros were probably my fav part of the entire trip, even though the one in front of me shit the entire time.  I didn't know an animal could contain that much shit at one time but ooh boy it impressed me.  Then we went shopping and had the BEST gyro I've ever had.

MYKONOS: This was the only place we went to at night, which was fantastic.  There were so many stray cats and shops.  It's essentially my heaven.  Also I ate octopus which was delish.

RHODES: This island was also fantastic, and probably the most fun.  We walked around the ancient city (MORE CATS YAY) but unfortunately most of the sites were closed due to a strike or something.  So we wandered towards the beach, which was probably the grossest beach I've ever been on but sooo worth it because in the ocean there was like a 20 foot staircase that you could jump off of! I pissed myself but I did it! So much fun.  I didn't actually piss myself that's gross.

KITTY

ATHENS: And finally, the last stop on our trip.  No one warned us that Athens was actually Antarctica and we were freezing the whole time, but it was awesome.  I've studied the acropolis so much that it was amazing to actually see it.  Also there was a strike at the time and the garbage workers didn't pick up the trash, so it was interesting to see the piles of trash on every street corner.

HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE BOAT

So the real fun of the trip was on the boat with our unlimited drinking passes.  I'm pretty sure I drank no less than 5 piña coladas every day, mostly while jacuzzing (flajuzzing).  Here are some high lights:

• ALAN- the greatest/most awkward waiter that served us the whole time.  By the end he knew our wine preferences and also knew to just leave the bottles on the table since we would easily go through them all quicker than he could pour.
• There was another random waiter that would neigh like a horse every time he would walk by our table.  So weird.  We decided to meow back at him in retaliation
• The casino-  Probably the most dangerous part of the boat.  I only lost 20 euro, which is great considering I was black out while playing black jack.  This casino made some people sooo angry when they lost money that they threw chairs off of the boat.  Problem childs.
• MISS GRAND CELEBRATION: By far the hardest I have ever laughed in a while. This was essentially a beauty pagentish deal for our entertainment with participants from the boat.  No words can describe it, so here's a video I stole from Charlie Dale's blog:

There's more, but I'm too lazy to finish this now.  My body hated me after 8 straight days of drinking so it shut down and I'm currently miserable.  The only thing getting me through the next week or so and midterms is CHIPOTLE IN 7 DAYS!!!!!!!


EDIT: Some photos from the costume dance party on the cruise just popped up.  This is the best photo I have ever been in.
