Found accomodation!!

hey readers!
so yesterday was my first day on the island of Ios and i was all freaked out that i wouldnt find a job or a place to stay or even talk to people.. how wrong was i?!granted the prebooking of the purple pig hostel that i had thought was a good idea was NOT. the place had no air con and was riddled with mossie, i know this becuase the nap i took there when i arrived is the only time i spent any time in the room and i have many bites as a result. god damn! so yesterday evening after some hours in the sun on the beach i thought i might check out the rest of the hostel and try to make some friends.... no such luck there were 6 "cool" english people at the pool in the hostel .. all couples and an irish pair who were not even talking to eachother, i felt a little intimidated to be honest. i know, me of all people!! so then i took myself to my run and seriously considered coming home, i think this was just becyuase i was so knackered at this point, instead i threw on a skirt and tank top over my bikini and headed in to the village to check out the scene re jobs etc. nothing is awake in the day timein ios. so i was worried that i would have nothing to do and no body to talk to for hours.. luckily fun pub came to the rescue. i dropped in and introduced myself to the owner Mick and he told me what to do. so i put a little note on the board saying i wasnt a psycho and that i needed somewhere to stay. i then met the delicious barmen Reece and Mark, Reece is an Aussie and Mark is a Paddy. the took care of me and introduced me around. i headed back to my hovel of a hostel to shower change and head out for the night and hopethat someone had read the notice and wanted me. no such luck. there was a kareoke thing on in the Fun Pub that night and this chick from Limerick Aoife was incharge of it, we got talking and it turned out she had an apartment with free beds!!! so after i murdered Gloria Gayner's I will survive, we talked a little more. 10 yo yo a night adnit was smack bang in the middle fo the village!! so then i ran around the village checking outthe bars to see who needed anyone.. but the major rush hasnt started yet so there are no jjobs plus the health inspector is in the island so everyone is trying to be on their best behaviuor. but im putting the word out etc. so then atabout 2am (which is super early in ios terms) myself aoife and her boyf keith headed home.. i crashed there that night cos i couldnt face the 20 minutes dangerous walk... plus i dont think keith was going to let me go alone, nice limerick folk!! at about 9.30 in the am cahill returned home from work in teh club and had no idea who i was!! but we talked and he seems nice! spent the day on the beach with them and will be cooking dinner for them in a bit!! woop woop now all i need is a job!!
