Left Messina mid-afternoon to sail around the toe of Italy’s boot toward Corfu. Arrived in Corfu about 9:00 AM this morning. We took advantage of the late arrival to have a leisurely breakfast and the left the ship to board the Hop-on Hop-off bus for a tour around Corfu. We got off the bus at the “Old” Fort to go to old town Corfu. The old town of Corfu is a world heritage site and it was a lot of fun to wander around the narrow streets of Corfu shopping and looking at the buildings. We also had a light lunch with coffee. I had Greek coffee which is pretty thick. We bought some local olive oil and some cumquat marmalade we had the chance to taste, yummy!

We decided to have a little fun and take a horse drawn carriage back to the ship. It was very relaxing and gave our tired feet a rest.

We will be leaving for a day at sea soon and then the next day we will be in Santorini. We are looking forward to a relaxing day on the ship.
