Greece Today

We finally get to sleep in! We have a tour that meets at 11 AM. This of course means that Laura got to dance the night away last until 3 AM. We have a late breakfast and head down for our tour.

We are on the Isle of Corfu today. This is a new port for me. Corfu is a statistically located island and was conquered by many different countries. The Greeks, Roman's, Ottomans, Venetians, English, French and then finally Corfu became.part of Greece. It is a large island with a climate that is lush with vegetation.

We head to the old palace of St. George and St. Michael that has been turned into a museum of Asian art. We also see rhe old fort built by the Venetians to protect the city.

Up next is the old town with the narrow streets numerous shops and cafés. There is an old church of the Orthodox religion. The Grrek churches are much more ornate than you typical catholic churches. Still very nice but a bit dark.

Finally we are released to go shopping! I gave a tradition to buy a Christmas ornament from wherever I travel. I find one here as well. I think that is three that I have picked up on this trip. I also pickup a moisturizer in a lavender scent. Laura picked one up in a pomegrade scent.

We meet back at the fort and head back to the ship. Nap time and then dinner.

Dinner is in the Hudson tonight. I do a vegi starter with turkey for the main. Chocolate lava cake rounds out my meal. Laura had her typical Ceaser salad and a fish dish that was not to her liking. On true Norweigian style they immediately switched it out for a chicken dinner. Of course her Nutella creme brule was good.Read more
