Greek Rambles

After our relaxing and beautiful first day in Greece, we slept soundly and awoke to another brilliantly sunny day.

We headed down to the hotel dining area, found sunny seats on the terrace and tucked into a hearty breakfast of strong coffee, yogurt with fruit and grains, Spanikopita, deviled eggs, sausages, tomatoes and cucumber.

With water bottles in hand we set out to explore the Old Town of Corfu, particularly the Old and New Forts. On our way we found a splendid outdoor market filled with artichokes, lettuces, olives, fresh fish and grapes.

I walked through dreaming of all the wonderful meals I could make with these amazing ingredients. There's nothing quite like a farmer's market to get the creative juices flowing!

We emerged into the blazing hot sunshine ready to tread the cobbled walkways and tunnels of the Old Fort. 

The view from the fort was worth the trek up, and the breezes off the coast were deliciously cool.

Then it was time to head back through the Old Town for lunch, shopping and delighting in the shaded streets. 

I love this classy restroom sign

Next week I'll share with you our lovely lunch in Old Town Corfu. :-)
