Day In Corfu, Greece Part I

This is my first time here.  Many of my followers helped me today with information I put to use too.

First we put our clocks forward one hour last night so we are on the same time as Greece.  Note tonight after we leave we put the clocks back one hour so we are on Italy time.

We arrived early and we don't leave till 930 pm.

There is a shuttle you can purchase for $15 US.  But after checking the map we realized it was easy to walk and since we are started at the Archeological Museum the shuttle really wouldn't save us much time.

We walk fo the museum.  It is 3 Euros to enter each.   It is not huge but we probably spent 45 minutes there.

We walk along the water with stunning views to the old Fort.  Note this is where the Princess shuttle would drop you off.  

We decide to go into the old Fort.  3 Euros entrance fee.

Church of st George.  Located at the Fort.

We exit and walk the streets of Old Town.

Day In Corfu Part Two

We wander the streets of old town.  The bouganvillias are stunning.

We stop into the Holy Church of Saint Spyridon which Isa Greek Orthodox Church.

We light four candles in honour of our parents.

Did some shopping. Bernie ends up buying two lovely cotton shirts, which will be perfect in the warm weather.

We are hungry and look for a spot to eat.  It needs tk be jnside as there is just too much smoke outside.  Which is the case all over Europe.  Are other rules for picking a spot.  No signs with pictures of the food, that screams tourist spot.  We also always walk away from big squares or tourist hot spots.

We find a spot that is a basic family run restaurant. It is busy and mainly with locals.

We get the house wine, 5 E for half a litre and two sparking waters.

Our goal is to enjoy what we like but to also be adventurous.

Bernie's favorite, Greek Salad.  

Pita with tazziki.  Then fried cheese.

Then we enjoy a perfectly grilled octopus. 

We shared everything.  We were completely stuffed.  And the entire bill came to 46 Euros.  Very reasonable considering wine, water, salad, 2 appetizers and a main.  

We leave and start making our way back to the ship.  It takes about 20 minutes to walk back.  

Once in the cabin we note we logged 18,000 steps.  Time to ice the knee.
