MYKONOS & CORFU

MYKONOS

Arrived in Mykonos – such a beautiful Autumn Day!!

We didn’t want to leave so we hopped off the ship in this wonderful island and spent a few days!!!

A picture says a thousand words!

CORFU

Our second stop off the ship had us arrive into Corfu. It was a dreary day with showers and also quiet cold….

We hadn’t booked any sort of shore excursion, so we negotiated with a local taxi to take us around the island for EUR 40 per person.

We DEFINITELY got the DUD driver!!! who complained about the economy, his wife, the Germans taking over Greece, the weather, the price of cigarettes (don’t smoke then!), the fact that we didn’t want to pay another 30 EUR to visit his village……. and anything else he could think of….

Could not get out of that cab quickly enough!!

The town of Corfu was pretty ordinary and not very clean but after speaking with some other passengers on the ship who visited the resort and beach areas – they were saying Corfu is a beautiful island – we just didn’t get the chance to see that for ourselves.

Maybe I shouldn’t always buck the system – a ship shore excursion would be recommended in this port!!!
