Day 27/28: Greek Style

It is day 6/7 of the cruise. Day 6 is a day at sea, rest day... although resting doesn't appear to come easy, not that it isn't relaxing just struggling to find time to listen to music or read. 

Day 7 is Corfu, Greece, and due to a ferry being grounded we had to use tenders to get ashore rather then dock.

Corfu was a very pretty town, I was sort of hoping it was going to be all blue and white, but it wasn't, it was quite flat with numerous narrow streets lined with jewellery stores and wood shops and souvenirs. I have become a souvenir hunter and can smell a shop before I get on land.

Corfu appeared to be quite cheap so we made a few purchases before lunch. Lunch was traditional Greek with grilled squid, grilled prawns, souvlaki etc, all delicious and made even tastier with a swig of ouzo supplied by our fellow travellers.

I am assuming the bottle is the shape of Corfu, although I can't be certain as geography isn't my strength. Corfu also appears to have numerous beggars, which isn't really surprising given the state of the economy. 

Once again the weather was perfect so my reverse Panda eyes are progressing quite nicely. I have now learned to speak Greek( yasou) which can now be added to my current list of languages, which is growing daily....English, Scottish, Welsh, French, Italian, Greek and expecting to add a few more before this adventure is over.
