Corfu, Greece

Today we are docked in Corfu, Greece.  After a leisurely breakfast, we left the ship to explore.  This port had a shuttle to take us to the terminal and from there, we took a short taxi ride to Old Town.

This area is sandwiched between the Old Fortress and the New Fortress, and seemed to be a winding web of narrow, cobbled streets filled with shops, cafes and small churches.  We had picked up a map from the Tourist Information kiosk but it seemed like the street names on the map did not match the street names on the corners --  or it was all Greek to us !  (I had to find a way to work that in to the conversation.)

We wandered for a while and had a drink at a sidewalk cafe, before heading back to the ship.  The weather has warmed up today, probably about 75.  Trying to stay on deck to enjoy as much as possible since we don't know what temps we will get moving north.

Now we should squeeze in a nap...there is tea at three, trivia at four, the casino should open as soon as we pull out of port...and then there are the fifteen drinks per day included in our package.  Oh the trials of vacation....
