2nd September
Quick overview of day 1 - woke up at 3:15, got ready and left for the airport at 5AM. Check-in was smooth. Had a fast-track pass so bypassed the security queue which saved us a good hour. Ate waffles and bacon for breakfast from a grubby airport café - 5/10.
Flight went ahead with no delays. Had a couple of vodka and lemonades mid-flight. Landed in Corfu and got a quick transfer to our hotel - the place is beautiful. My Mrs concocted a story that we were celebrating our anniversary and they gave us a free upgrade to a sea-view suite and had champagne on ice waiting for us when we arrived, so brownie points to her for that.
Went and caught the last of the sun by the pool and ate a Greek salad, super fresh and colourful, really good. Want to eat fresh, local food all week rather than pounding down desserts and feeling like crap like I usually do while I’m on holiday.
Retired back to our room for a bit, had a soak in the tub and got a taxi in to the town afterwards to scope it out. Had some more traditional Greek food (Gemista) at a little family run place by the sea, great service.
Stupidly decided to walk back from the beach to our hotel. It’s on the top of a mountain pretty much. Google Maps said 30 minutes but the whole thing was a sharp incline through dark winding paths, must’ve took us 45 minutes to complete. We were both gassed out. Was a nice day overall. Was exhausted by the end but nothing a good sleep wouldn’t fix. Wasn’t even planning on logging while I was away but I find it kind of therapeutic so here we are.
