On the second day of Mum and Dad’s cruise we
visited the Greek Ionian Island of Corfu. This island is much larger and more “normal”
(for want of a better word) than the islands of Mykonos and Santorini. On our
first trip here with them we caught a local bus into the town.

It was much like any of the other Greek tourist towns, but with more established and larger churches. Two main historic landmarks are the old and new forts. The old fort I named “the fort that thinks it’s a boat” and the new fort looked more foreboding and castle-like.
There are a number of pleasant park areas around
the town where the locals can be found fighting off the heat. We managed to
find a spot to take a swim in the Adriatic Sea before hunting out some Gyros
and heading back to the ship.
