Our Fishing Adventure

 Our Fishing Adventure.

The year started nicely in Kefalonia, the island where i moved for a year...Great weather, no rain and not too much cold. So what was better than going fishing with friends this Sunday? It was an early Sunday morning when my phone buzzed with an enthusiastic text from Lambros: "The weather is great! Meet me at the Cruise Ship Dock in an hour.Ready to catch something big? " I didn't think much at the time, just got ready and left the house.




There's something really nice about waking up and being able to do soooo many fun stuff in nature. 
Fishing has been one of my favorite activities since i was young. I used to do it with my dad almost every day.We still go, but, with school i don't have much time.Now i do it with my friends.We are actually really good at it.We've learned many stuff which are useful for us to catch more stuff.

This time was a bit different...When i got there Lambros had already started fishing with his rod. He had brought us sandwiches and some orange juice.We had a 10 minutes break to eat something and then decided to continue fishing. OMG! I turn to get my rod and accidentally throw it in the water...I couldn't believe my eyes..I know i said weather was good  BUT IT IS STILL FEBRUARY!the water was FREEZING COLD!

After a lot of thought i decided to dive in a catch it.Not a single thought in my mind about how cold i would be when i get out of the water.The only thing a was thinking about was my ROD. The water wasn't that deep so i managed to reach it...Not to be dramatic but when i got off the water with my soaking wet clothes and hair i actually felt i could turn into a literal ice cube.I mean, we've all experienced something alike, right...?

I immediately called my mum to come get me so i wouldn't catch a cold.I did not achieve that.It has been 4 days and i haven't stopped coughing...Wish me luck! The only good thing we got out of this story was that Lambros actually caught two (2) big fishes that day! 

Next time i go fishing i'll be more careful,and you should be too.Trust me, you don't want to be diving on freezing cold water! Look at the bright side, we grilled the fishes the next day and they were delicious!

Easter Break: The Illusion of Summer Break

 I think we can all agree that when you're a teenager going to school, the best feeling is when school break starts. I mean...you cant blame us! We get to wake up at the time we would be finishing school and don't study as much as we would if schools were open. Thats like heaven for most teenagers! Imagine us, the teens who get to grow up on an island... Every year I spend Easter Break in Kefalonia with my parents and the rest of the family. Easter is considered one of the best holidays and "seasons" on our island. We get to wake up and go to the beach with our friends till late and go to plenty family gatherings. Today you'll get to know how Easter is spent on our beautiful island...! When school closed for two weeks everyone was sooo excited! Many of my friends came from different places just to spend the holidays here, I was so happy to see everyone after so long. Even though our Bucket List was really really long and had various things for us to do, unfortunat...

A Weekend Ski Trip   Every kid that lives next to the beach wants to experience the feeling of skiing down a huge mountain. That kid would be me! HI I'm Erietta , and if you're new here ;I'm a girl who has moved a lot of places the last 16 years of her life...But at this point of life a l live on the island i was raised in. A not so small greek island with a variety of beautiful beaches, Kefalonia. Don't get me wrong; we have many mountains here, you can go hiking both summer and winter, you can explore them and see many beautiful wild animals. But no... you can't ski there...That's why my friends and i decided to make a quick getaway and visit the lovely Parnassus mountain. I was soo excited when my mum announced to me that we're going skiing this weekend! And the best part? I could get 2 of my friends to come with me. I quickly jumped off the couch and ran to make my suitcase. I called my friends and told the fantastic news. We were waiting for that day ...
