A Mouse with clogs on


Day 40 (Sunday)

A fairly lazy day today after all the travelling yesterday.  Did some washing, played songpop, watched Macgyver on Greek TV and QI on BBC iplayer.  The planes must be taking off from the other side of the runway as it is much quieter today.

Day 41 (Monday)
After studying the Corfu bus timetable on the internet we went to the nearest bus stop.  At the bus stop we met a couple of Welsh ladies, one of whom was visiting her elderly father.  As the bus took quite a while to arrive we had quite a long chat with them and bored them with our travelling stories.  They both seemed quite relieved when the bus arrived.
Once we arrived in Corfu Town our first job was to buy a ferry ticket for Patras where we will catch another ferry to our final destination of Kefalonia.  The ferry leaves Corfu Town on Wednesday at 23:15 and arrives in Patras at 05:30.
After taking photos of the cricket pitch and the windmill Tracey said she wanted to see Mouse Island (Pontikonisi) so we set off in the general direction.  It turned into a bit of a ‘Roger Frith’ type walk because it took us ages to get there.  We took some photos and watched a couple of planes land then walked all the way back for a very late lunch.  On the way back to the bus station we passed a Marks and Spencer and Tracey didn’t go in!
When we got back to our hotel we heard an English chap trying to get the barman to order him a Chinese Takeaway – good luck with that mate.
