The second port of our cruise was the Greek Island of Corfu. We had to turn our clocks forward an hour this morning so it was an early start. Ordering room service for breakfast helped with that. The joys of cruising!
We had arranged for a private driver to show us around the island. Our driver picked us up in his Mercedes and already had a car seat installed for Colin. Not a bad start to the tour. We spent the next three hours exploring the island. We made various stops including the cliffside village of Lakones, the beach town of Paleokastritsa, a store known for its homemade olive oil, and a cafe with a view over Mouse Island. The island was beautiful. What we noticed most were olive trees everywhere. The islands two main sources of revenue are tourism and olive products so this makes sense. I managed to purchase quite a few olive products including olives, olive oil, olive spread, and olive soap during our short trip there.
After our tour, we were dropped off in Old Town. We walked around a little and did some shopping before heading back to the ship. We had some time for swimming after we got back and then Colin spent some time in the nursery while David and I enjoyed a kid free dinner at the sushi speciality restaurant. It was another fun day!
