Day 23 - Sarande-Corfu-Bari

Another transit day. But first, guess what? Day 23 makes for a milestone day. I’m now one third through my 69 day odyssey. And what a day I’ve had so far. Beautiful crossing on the ferry between Sarande and Corfu. Every day so far has been full sun, hot and generally quite humid. Incredible run of weather. Wonder when that will change??
Corfu old town is very beautiful. Has this lovely warm vibe to it. A bit like Dubrovnik. So I had a wonder about just letting the laneways lead me on. I only had about 5 hours to sightsee - so I didn’t really stop anywhere - the one place I wanted to visit was a gallery - but it closed at 3pm so bad luck Nicko.
Not to be perturbed - I just pressed on and visited the old fortress which is a major landmark immediately adjacent the old town.
Next destination was a restaurant for food and water and beer. All thoroughly enjoyed and consumed with an appreciative appetite. Then it was time to put my walking shoes back on and wonder back down to the international departure terminal at the port. Interesting observation was how massive the port infrastructure was. Seemed like a big port for a relatively small island. But again, there’s a lot of naval history related to Corfu.
I’m now onboard the Regis VII bound for Bari on the east coast of Italy. We arrive approximately 9am tomorrow. Another exciting destination.Read more
