Corfu

Our first stop in Greece was the beautiful island of Corfu. Corfu is the second largest of the Greek islands and gave us a run for our money today. There is some absolutely spectacular scenery on this island and despite the fact that it is quite large, we never seemed to be very far from the sea. A mountainous island that is full of small picturesque villages which also caused some tense moments as many of these villages only had a single lane of traffic going through their hairpin turns – meeting a bus going the other way was a huge challenge.

There were 5 cruise ships in port today – a Royal Caribbean ship, an MSC ship, a P&O ship, a Norwegian Cruise Lines ship and us – quite an influx of tourists in one day.

While we had several places that we wanted to see today, we kept getting lost and found only one of the highlights that we wanted to see - a disappointment, but, still I enjoyed my time ashore.

The absolute highlight of the day ……. our luggage finally arrived!! Yeah……clean clothes.
