Kerkira (Corfu), Greece
Tuesday 2nd October 2018
Tendered ashore, Corfu town was only a short walk away. On my wish list for this cruise, was to visit the plaques for Gerald and Lawrence Durrell. I’d read some of their books and seen the tele-movie My Family and Other Animals as well as the recent tv series.
From Boschetto Durrell Park we looked over the old fortress that’s separated by a moat. and them wandered the alleyways of Corfu and had some old favourites for lunch, moussaka with a Mythos beer. Then it was a brisk walk back to the ship tender as an afternoon rain shower came down.
