Corfu 18/04/2014

The weather had closed in when we arrived in Corfu today.  We held off going ashore to see if the sky would lift before deciding what we would do.  After an hour or so, we decided to wing it and take a taxi for some sight seeing around the island.
We weren't disappointed!!  Our cabbie, George, took us to the NW coast of the island.  The island of Corfu is only about 100km from N to S and E to W, about 20km.
We saw some scenic coastline around a place called Paleokastritza - yeah try and pronounce that!  George patiently taught us how to roll it off the tongue Greek style.

 He also told us that the area featured in the James Bond film "For Your Eyes Only".  I'll have to check it out.

Agios Georgios

The weather cleared up nicely and we got to see the pristine waters in all their glory.George got us back to the ship with minutes to spare as there were traffic hold ups in the town of Corfu due to Easter festival road closures.
We departed at 1800 on the dot and now headed for Dubrovnik.  Not sure what we'll do there either tomorrow as the weather might be a bit off again and Lesley is still battling a bug which got the better of her today.  She came touring with us today but felt crook by the end of the day.
We're a bunch of walking wounded at the moment - all have been struck by a bug at some time or another.  I guess it's inevitable when you are exposed to this close captivity for this length of time.
Catch ya tomorrow...
