I am currently writing the draft to this post while sitting in a bar/restaurant along the seafront, over looking the beach in Zante. If you haven't heard of the holiday destination that is Zante, it's part of Greece and it's well known for its crazy night life.
I'm sipping a lagoon coloured slush cocktail (I may have to go get another one in a minute). Today is by far the hottest day here so far, I can't sit in the sun for 5 minutes without dripping with sweat - there's a lovely image for you! It's the 4th day of our stay, and its been lush. The weather has been glorious (even if it has been slightly too hot at times), hotel is nice, but my favourite part is the beach! Myself, and the two girls I'm with, have spent everyday at the beach. The seafront is covered with bar after bar after bar, so many choices of drinks, alcoholic or not. The sea is gorgeous, so clear and refreshing! This is definitely one of my favourite beaches I've visited in all my 18 years of travelling/holidays.

I travelled out here with six friends, 2 girls and 4 boys. It's been lovely to fly out together and spend some quality time all as one big group. Yesterday, myself and the two girlies decided to book a boat trip that took us to different parts of the island and ventured into the caves. This was an awesome experience as we got to see real life sea turtles!!! And oh my, aren't they the cutest! The sea was so transparent that you could see the turtles swimming under the water, and then they would pop their little heads up above the water, great for some wicked photo opportunities!
We also stopped off at a small beach, where the shingle and stones are all pure white, like it was covered in snow. And the sea was a beautiful, bright, turquoise colour. We jumped off the boat into the sea and waded our way up onto the shore. It was literally luxury, it was just like the paradise beaches you see in those pictures on the internet that you always dream of visiting but kind of think you may never really get to experience, but we did and wow, just wow!

OMG SEA TURTLES!!!
"I'm on a boat yaaaaa"
Right now, I'm people watching over the beach, I love people watching. I think I take after my Mum, my Mum has always been a people watcher (not in a stalkerish way). I just love to sit back, relax and absorb everything that's going on around me. Plus, there's no company like your own, and I find people watching is a great way to spend time with yourself, it really makes you think about your own life while you're watching others lives around you.
I'm also crazy tired right now! I think this holiday has made me realise I'm really not the 'go-crazy-party-hard-every-night' kinda girl. I'm more of a 'sit-at-home-on-the-internet-and-pretend-I-have-friends' kinda girl, haha! Don't get me wrong, I love a good party, and I've had an immense time out here, but I don't really like alcohol, and even though I can have a right laugh without alcohol, I'm really struggling with these constant nights out. It would be nice to go to bed some time before 5am one night, haha. However, I've still enjoyed it muchly! And it'd definitely an experience I would recommend for anyone in their teens/early 20's.
