• The Fab Four On The Road Again

    October 8 in Greece ⋅ 🌙 16 °C

    Well, it's an early start as we're picking up our partners in crime for this expedition, Fiona and Mark at 5am.
    Thankfully, Birmingham airport seems to have ironed out the problems with security we had last time, and we've sailed through. A bit of shopping at Duty Free and a Wetherspoons breakfast, and we're boarding ready for an early take off. Good flight, I got some great pictures from the plane. We arrive ahead of time and pick up the car, smaller than we expected, and set off to Sidari.
    Getting out of Corfu town was an experience. Man, these Greek drivers are mad, but we're soon out of town and onto the smaller, quieter, bumpier, winding roads. It's not long before we arrive at the apartment. Wow, this was a good choice and better than the pictures. Our host is very friendly and shows us around, then it's unpacking before we head off in search of supplies.
    Oh look the local supermarket just happens to be opposite at taverna, it would be rude not to check it out, a swift drink and a promise to be back later for a meal, we head over the road to do the shopping and get it back home.
    After a unanimous decision of an early tea and an early night we head back to the taverna, it's only while checking out Kev's map we realise it's one of his top picks, Salt and Pepper.
    A fab meal starting with free freshly baked bread and Pork stew, Then it's a selection of cheese for starters, Moussaka, Stefado, and Beef Stew to follow. No pudding as we're all stuffed, but it's a yes to the free Lemonchello shot that comes with the bill.
    Back home and we're dropping like flies, all in bed by 10.30 our time, that's 8.30 at home. Let's see what tomorrow brings.
