Exarchou Apartments Corfu

Great day arrived early and booked the ferry, streamlined process and bugger me if it cost less than the Wadi Halfa ferry.

Only one concern was our booking showed we had an allocated seat and the chap assured us we would get a cabin at checkin.... Well we were not going to hold our breath..

Okay now picture this, because we are...

Well we've had four days in Corfu and we leave tomorrow. Our ferry to Brindisi leaves from Igoumenitsa at 1am on Monday morning so we have all day in Corfu of we want it but I’m thinking we’ll catch a ferry in the morning and see what Igoumenitsa has to offer.

So we arrived in Corfu on Wednesday and picked up a hire car that...

First ferry experience: Wadi Halfa (Sudan) – Aswan (Egypt): approx: 350km

To put it bluntly, the ferry from Wadi Halfa to Aswan is little more than a floating vessel on which people are let loose.

Tickets:
You need to be at the port two days before the weekly ferry leaves to organise your ticket

Corfu was surprisingly warm today, around the mid 70s, which was warm enough for us to spend some time at the Aqualand water park. I've never been to a larger water park and we make is just in time before they closed for the winter. Me and my buddies played around until it began to get cool towards the late afternoon.

This morning we v...

Friday 21 August to Saturday 22 August 2009

Had a loverly sleep in this morning whilst my fantastic crew cooked birthday bacon and egg sandwiches which were AMAZING (pretty impressive given all cooking was done in the boat's 'kitchen'). We also had champagne and juice and hung up balloons and streamers all over our party boat. It was so f...

There is a town north of Corfu and it's really cool, but it's a village in some way.Though, I did visit the Corfu town and I must say it is AMAZING. All those fortresses and fancy resturants and bars were a total hit! Everybody was so relaxed, people aren't that stressed at all. I guess they spend a lot of time relaxing, because they live on an ...

We decided this morning this isn't where we want to be, so after a little breakfast Len went to pay our bill. Well, the man had left into town. The only money Len had was 30 euros in change and a 50 euro bill. Our bill was 35 euros, but the women did not have any change, she phoned her husband. He was not a happy person with us not having the co...

Het water aan de oostkant van Corfu is heerlijk rustig, doordat het geheel omsloten is. Het lijkt op een groot Nederlands binnenmeer, zo rustig is de zee. We varen richting Corfu om een plek te vinden waar we kunnen inklaren. In welke haven dat moet is nog onduidelijk. Pas als we in een haven die overvol is varen zien we dat we aan de ander kant...

Greetings from hot, sunny Corfu. It's absolutely beautiful here. We arrived here early this morning via overnight ferry from Italy. The ferry itself wasn't too exciting, but I think I'm going to enjoy it here in Greece. Italy was very hot, and I finally caught that bug that was going around the bus so I spent my time in Rome feeling sick. Yuck. ...
