When we got to port this morning we joined a couple other huge ships. We looked so tiny next to them. I heard the one ship had over 5000 people. A couple more big ships docked after us.
We had a fun day. After our delicious breakfast we headed out for our tour in Corfu. What a beautiful town. It is where Prince Philip was born so I had kinda heard of it but didn’t really know anything about it. I was surprised to find out close to Albania it is. It is only a 30 minute boat ride. We had a wonderful tour guide….Irene. She was great and we enjoyed her tour very much. It is interesting you can stand above the air strip and watch planes land and take off. It is so close it seems like you can touch them.
It was really HOT and humid. If I think it it’s hot ….. you know it was hot. Irene said they had had record heat. One day it was 112 degrees with 85 % humidity. Woosh even I wouldn’t like that. After Irene was done with her portion, we had some free time to wander the shops, restaurants, and churches. Because of all the ships, the streets were loaded with tourist. It was crazy at times. We decided to stay and have lunch there. We found a bar and grill close to the entry. It felt good to rest our feet. We did a lot of walking. Getting back to the port was hectic. We had to go through a security check similar to TSA. The lines were long but we seemed to get through without a lot of delay.
Before dinner, we went to another presentation from the Professor from Cambridge. He is very interesting and entertaining. I wish more folks would have attended. Tonight was lobster night. Needless to say, we had a great dinner. (We really enjoy lobster). After dinner we went to the show. It show tunes night. After we went for a nightcap with a couple we met our first day. They have been on every tour we have. And in the same group. They are from Australia. We had a fun time visiting and we closed the place down. Not bad for some old folks…hahaha.
Tomorrow is our sea day. Yeah for being able to sleep in.
