Day 49 – Igoumenitsa and the Parrot Sketch
End of the seventh week and it’s another travel day. After 10 days on Corfu (thoughts on Corfu at the end), we’re on the homeward stretch now. It was an early start for Phil and Linda with a 5:45 taxi to Corfu airport. They had two flights today, one to Athens and the next to…

Day 48 – Avlaki Beach
Last full day on Corfu and the weather has been much kinder – 27C, a refreshing breeze and no rain! We’ve been told, by Yeota, the villa owner, that this sort of weather is very unusual. They might get a day of rain in September, but not this many days in a row. So to…

Day 47 – Quiet Day
Today started rather mutedly. Too much Gin the night before. So by the time we were all up and about and watered the weather was closing in again. We had a huge thunderstorm roll through from about 2 to 4. And because it was a slow day, we finally got ready to walk down into…

Day 46 – Avlaki Beach
A bit of a quiet day today. We had a wet morning so hung around the villa until 3. Linda discovered what seems to be the only jigsaw in the property, Friends… in black and white… tricky! Linda and Sue then walked into Avlaki Beach with Phil and I following in the van a bit…

Day 45 – Palaiokastritsa and Lakones
After a cracking overnight thunderstorm the weather settled enough for us to head over to the West side of the island again and to visit Palaiokastritsa. We were all woken up around 1am for a lightning and thunder show. It lasted an hour or so, but unlike the last one in Dubrovnik, we didn’t lose…

Day 44 – Acharavi and Sidari
It’s a rain day, so a mooch around the coast and see if we can get Sue’s phone fixed. A slow start to the day but we were out of the villa by 11-ish. It had rained heavily over night and into the morning… The next town around the coast is Acharavi, which is less…

Day 43 – Kassiopi
Well… as well as the weather turning on us, we have another IT disaster. The day started off well with a leisurely coffee and Brecky on the veranda. We then headed into Kassiopi town, Phil and I in Ollie and the ladies taking a walk. Phil had to check out the scooter hire, €35 a…

Day 42 – Agios Gordios to Kassiopi
Another travel day, to the final destination. It’s all down hill from here. Six weeks! We’re moving from the west coast Corfu apartment in Agios Gordios to a villa in the northern town of Kassiopi, about 40km away. But first it was breakfast time, after we’d packed the van ready for a get away once…

Day 41 – Agios Gordios
A quiet day today, in town and by the pool. Sue and Linda took a walk along the coast and were joined by Phil for breakfast. Slim and light. After they got back we had a quiet afternoon and hit the pool for an hour or two. Then off to find something to eat in…

Day 40 – Corfu Town 2
It’s been a mixed weather day today. So we decided to head back to Corfu Town, do a bit of shopping and see some of the sites we missed yesterday. But first we needed some breakfast and that was down in the local Agios Gordios town. Wherever you go in Greece, there are cats… Then…
