So we awoke at 6:30 am and happily moved onto our Verandah to chat with our two friends while we sailed into Corfu! We are in for some pretty amazing scenery and another hot day!
After breakfast we headed off the ship and decided to take the hop on hop off bus for 19 € each. This will give us the flexibility of choice to bail early if any one of us needs to return to the ship. The bus took us to Mouse Island first - which we elected not to visit. Our mission was to get to the Old Fortress which we learned was not going to be open after noon due to the heat wave.
So we hopped off at the Old Fortress and paid our 6 € to enter. I wasn’t sure I was going to get to the top given the problems I have been having with my knee but I was going to give it the college try! The grade to the top was nice and gradual and it was a lovely climb to the viewpoint!
DG used her selfie stick to take this of the group.
There were views from every direction at the top!
We then descended to the cafe and indulged in a frappe! Corfu is known for having this tasty iced coffee drink and DG treated me to one with cream and sugar!! (I am sure my family is shocked to hear I had a coffee!)
We then descended all the way to sea level and walked through the old town. We all found something to buy!! Specialty food items, clothing, soap….we had fun!
The old town had beautiful sights.
DG captured this wonderful photo without a single person in it!
We made our way to the far side of the old town and picked up a hop on hop off bus that took us back to the cruise port.
Once back at the ship I had a shower to clean up from the sweat that was dripping everywhere and had soaked all my clothes. We then went up to the lido buffet and had lunch at about 2:30. From there we went and cooled down in the Retreat pool. We watched a ail away from deck 18 at 4 pm.
We then dressed in white for dinner and enjoyed dinner with Michael as server and Hector as the assistant at table 616. Princess Alice had a few activities that capture our attention. Michael Jackson music Trivia at 8 pm followed by the game show Majority Rules at 9 pm. We had heaps of fun and laughter!!
Trying to prepare for Messina Italy tomorrow now. No solid plans but some thoughts on what we would like to do!!
