Friend Whore

so as you can imagine going somewhere on your own is a little daunting.but not so much on this island actually. i have coined a phrase... friend whore. now im not sure if it is already out there but if it is .. damn! that is exactly what i am. i will talk to anyone and anything. i will show people about the island and drive on the right hand side of the road for them... that was today and it freaked me out no end. but these 3 canadians really needed to see the island and friend whore becka was only too glad to get in on the act. the 3 in question are these 3 school teachers doing a bit of backpacking for the schoolo holidays. first stop Ios then on to Athens and Croatia and then somewhere else but i have forgotten it. so i met them in francescos (the best hostel on the island) and they want me to come travelling with them but i ahve already paid for my room so that wont be happening.nice to be asked though. now they are hilarious women. so educated but not at all at the same time. i mean they thought all irish were of the pale skin red haired variety! and they cant drive a manual car. but i love them all the same. we went out on the town last night and didnt see our beds till 7 this morning. hard core!last night was a worldwind of a late dinner (didnt finish till 2am) and then a tour of the bars that we liked, and amazingly enough it was some norweigan holiday so that was nuts!!but great craic. did some hottie spotting and talked to random people, flirted with someothers and parties the dawn away in the club kandi with a (slightly creepy) restaurant owner from the island... typical ios night! we headed out to manganari beach today with me driving and it was beautiful. just enough away from the hustle and bustle of the main beach. but it took a while to get there... the roads are unbelievablem so so so windy, we are talking hair pin bends that our rented car.. fiat panda.. battled bravely against. it was worth ig though. just to do a bit of swimming even cos the water is soo soo clear. there are not a lot of fishies here, but someone told me that this is a good sign,. ie no sharks.... whatever, talk about a silver lining!tonight is their last night and then they leave me to befriend some other selection of hotties, i might even try to make friends with boys the next time!

actually speaking of boys... there was a parade of hotties out last night from the beautiful Luc from Oz who is so in love with his girlfriend and unaware of his hottness... yum... to colin on the door of the bar Coo, to the barman in Coo who told me he really wanted to kiss me only for me to walk in on him and a blonde in the ladies of the bar on his break! cheeky! thats the thing about this island, anything goes. you have to be in the drop dead gorgeous category to have a guy actually persue you. there are far too many pretty, drunk and easy girls on the island for them to really need to bother......
