Patras to Corfu, Greece – freeway all the way through the mountains, 6 toll stops, many tunnels, it rained for the last 30 minutes. Arrived at Igoumenitsa port at 12:00 in a drizzle not nice, I had booked my ferry ticket for 14:30 and they very kindly changed it to 12:30 for the ferry that was getting ready to depart, just managed to ride on up the ramp before it was raised hahaha. There is a ferry every hour cost €5.60 for myself and €12.50 for the bike, it is cheaper if you buy the tickets in advance online. The journey takes 90 minutes, we arrived at 14:00. The town feels like it is 50 years behind mainland Greece, narrow pot holed roads and chaotic traffic.
Corfu is a tourist destination, there were 3 cruise ships in the harbour and the old town which is very nice was packed. I stayed at a hotel 10km from the Old town along the coast, there are busses every 30 minutes or so and a single ride costs €2.50 if you buy the ticket from the driver or €1.60 if you buy it from a ticket machine. On the last day the water stopped, due to a Municipality problem and I was given a room at another property further down the coast by the owner.

When you pack so much into each day in each place, were it not for this lovely blog space to document all the memories, it would be hard to recollect them over time! But no fear of that because you are so meticulous in capturing each moment and memory for posterity. Bravo!
