lol, that vending machine remained unharmed!
Anyway, I arrived in Zante about 7 or 8 hours ago (landed about 5am local time, it's not 1:55pm local time and I've had about 7 units of alcohol already

). Anyway, it's been great so far. The day started pretty shitly - it was wet when we arrived and this morning was pretty wet, but the sun has come out and it's really nice at the moment (been in the pool, sunbathing and playing poker in the sun so far today and it's still pretty early, but then again it would be if we haven't slept at all yet).
I'm looking forward to tonight A LOT, should be great, first night in what's effectively the ever so slightly richer Ibiza destination. Going to get pretty drunk tonight. Unfortunately I haven't been able to take many photos as I need to buy some batteries for my camera.
It's been rather amusing so far, though, we've walked down 'The Strip' and there's countless "British Pubs" and there's also a McDonalds, Pizza Hut, Subway, KFC and a Safeway (although I'm pretty certain it's not the same as the no longer existent UK Safeway!). Either way, the Safeway is bargain for shopping! We bought 6 2L bottles of water for 1.30 euros, which is around 1 british pound.
The exchange rate as it is is pretty shit, and I've spent loads so far (mostly in this 'gold package' with club 18-30 who we booked the holiday with. It should work out very beneficial in the future though, as we've paid 180 euros for what's effectively in total 7 hours of 'free' drinking). Tonight we've got a 1 hour free bar, so it will be a pretty hectic hour I can imagine.
Anyway, I'm currently at an internet cafe about 2 mins walk away from my accommodation which charges 3 euros for 30 minutes, which is pretty steep, so I'll end this post rather soon! I'll be online again for quite a few times over the next few weeks, but I won't be checking anything else on these forums other than this topic, so if you want to contact me then your best bet is to post in this topic or to email my hotmail account.
See you all until the next post (most likely in about 3 day's time!).
Regards,
Peds
P.S. I'm going to try and find some batteries for my camera once I leave this internet cafe, so I'll be able to take 800MB worth of pictures and videos for this holiday
