Corfu

1st stop...hello Corfu!

Corfu was a great 1st stop and did not disappoint.  We started our day with a little Greek coffee for Marc and tea for me.

It was sunny and we were so excited to be in GREECE! This was our 10-yr Anniversary Celebration & as we look back at these pictures we are amazed at what a special time we shared on a truly wonderful dream come true adventure!!! 

The town of Corfu had quite a few shops and historical monuments but what we were excited to get to was....

the beach!  We didn't do a shore excursion with the cruise ship.  Instead, we decided to do our own thing.  We found a taxi driver in the city center that took us to a beach on the other side of the Island...the only nerve racking thing was whether he would come back and get us like he said he would!

We also got a little Greek food...yep, that would be a TRUE Greek salad in front of me...SO GOOD!

It was a fun few hours at the beach...see Marc's head in the water! He was loving the water since the pool on the cruise ship was not really for swimming :) Marc swam some laps and then came back on shore to enjoy some sunshine before a few little sprinkles...It was kinda like the rain in Hawaii as it just passed thru and then more sunshine.

We loved all the rocky cliffs...it felt like a pirate movie and we were down in our own little cove.

Many, many times we looked at the Greek language and used the popular phase "It's all Greek to me"!  Thank goodness it was a tourist area that also had signs in English!  Oh...yes, the taxi driver did pick us up shortly after taking this picture! :)
More to come....
