Day 4 Corfu and Day 5 at Sea

Day 4 Corfu

As usual up early to see us sail down the coast of the island of Corfu into Corfu Town Harbour. This time we were prepared and got the first shuttle bus into town. A good look around the narrow old streets,

 

a look at the waterfront and Old Fort which we have been around on a previous visit.

 

We found places we had not seen on previous visits like the open air food market,

and the New Fort which gave great views over the town. The New Fort was built in the 16^th century so is not that new!

So back to the ship by shuttle bus in time for our normal mix of eating, drinking, lazing, exploring and swimming.

Nice sail out past Corfu Town and then we were followed out by a helicopter which circled the ship for around half an hour: we suspect it was part of the filming for the advert.

And as the sun set on a great day we went to another show from the Irish comic which we enjoyed more than the show the night before.

Day 5 At Sea

We quite like days at sea as we can just relax around the ship. An added attraction was passing between mainland Italy and Sicily and then past the volcanic island of Stromboli.

We have been on this class of ship four times before and always thought the observation deck above the bridge was crew only but it seems this is now public and gave us a great view going through the Straights of Messina.

 

We could have bought some tack at the 'everything for £7.99' stall, bur decided against!

 

 

 

We did have a look at the ice sculpture,

 

 

interrupting our usual sea day routine of swimming, walking, relaxing, eating and drinking.

Another show from the Headliners tonight which we hope will be better than the last one! We are now going into a run of five ports in a row with no sea days!
