Corfu town

As none of us had yet visited Corfu town we decided that on the return trip to the island we would moor in the old harbour and that the girls would then return to their hotel by taxi in the evening.
We left Lakka late morning and again motored up to the town (head wind). We contacted “Laerke” who had been in the harbour for a few days and found out that we could raft to them. We arrived again in the late afternoon and rafted up. Once everything had settled down we wandered into the old town to check out the shops and to sightsee a little. The old town is full of shops selling leather good, furs and traditional goods made in Corfu. We even met a lady promoting local liquor dressed in a typical wedding costume – she must have been very hot as we were wilting under the heat in the small narrow streets. After dinner the girls came back to the boat to collect their luggage and took a taxi back to Dassio to finish their holiday. In the meantime a German boat had rafted up to us for the night.
