led to the seafront and jetty where the trip boats arrived.Also here was a huge taverna!I expected it to be a tiny beach shack, but this was obviously a big business in the summer, catering for day visitors, and offering an extensive, if overpriced menu.

But the views were to die for.Just a kilometre across the water, are the beautiful Venetian houses of Corfu town, the fortress, and the castle.Such a great location for our cup of coffee!

There was a tiny harbour close by with a tiny beach.Behind the beach was a memorial to the Serbian soldiers who had died in the war,and a strange circular building which may have once been part of a church.

We carried on down the path leading eastwards,and a huge cruise liner appeared in the sea behind the trees, moving slowly towards its berth in Corfu harbour. I would have loved to have been on that cruise ship as it entered Corfu!

We then came to the impressive mausoleum, built by the Serbs to honour their war dead.Each soldier who died had their name inscribed on a marble square.

It was getting very hot now, as it was approaching midday, and poor Tim was flagging. He really is feeling the heat this year, much more than me.So we kept to the shady paths and eventually reached the beach where we had left the dinghy.A cold beer when we got back to Fandancer was very welcome!I had such a lovely visit
