On our last full day we decided that we would take the boat trip that had been cancelled, bad idea, the company did not put on an additional boat to accommodate all the people for the previous day as so the place was packed. We had a super quick vote to see if we wanted to go aboard or to do something else. the vote was unanimous and we decided to leave.

We returned to the hotel and decided that today was the day for the water sports but how were we to get to the beach?? Well again some bright spark decided that we should hire the buggies and quads again, off we trekked and got them and headed to the beach. What a day the sun was shining and the water was amazing. We got group tickets and in we went of the fly fish, we were the first to do any of the sports that day so we didn't quite know what to expect of the fish. It was attached to a speed boat and when the boat hit optimal speed the front of the fish took off leaving all 6 of us hanging on for deal life, 2 of the passengers were not to be lucky on the first go and they ended up in the sea. Very funny hehe.

the day proceeded in the same kind of fashion and the last thing we did was the jet skis my favorite water sport by far going over the waves and smashing down was so much fun, good job Ivan was driving because I don't think I could have held on to the steering.

After so much fun we had a bit of a drive back to the other side of the island for dinner. Dinner was the best we had had all week steak with pepper sauce and veg, gourg.

And so we came to the end of a fantastic holiday, not one without its hiccups but great all the same.

Dinner was great

If you are looking for some were that you can relax but have some fun at the same time this is the place for you. You can sit by the pool all day and read or your whole week can be jam packed with activities.

I have gone to Zaknythos or Zante as the French call it. It is of great significance as an historical as well as a true vacation destination place, It is better that Palm Beach in Florida. The beaches are a dream, and very safe, even for young tots. The food is excellent and is a combination of Greek, French and Italian. Wine and olive oil are from the island. As for the rest, if you can not have grat time in Zakynthos, alone, with a friend or the whole family, then go to Antartica. The people there are kind and helpful. Some take in strangers and do not ask for anything more than kindness, good company and honesty. They are a world class group going back to Roman and Greek times. They were never occupied by Turkey and are regarded as a Renaisance breed. You just have to go. If you go by yacht, all the better. It is a tough place to leave!
