Well as we only have a couple days left in Greece and in Europe we decide to have a local day. We have been touring around every day of the trip so far and a day relaxing close to our home base is a welcome change. The village of Sidari where we are is on th e north coast of Corfu and the coast line here is made up of rugged cliffs and coves and rock outcrops. There is a foot path that winds along the cliff tops for about 5 km to the next village so we decide to put on our walking shoes and do that today.
WE start off on Sidari beach and wind our way up the first cliff. Within minutes the views are just awesome and as we walk along we come across many different little bays and rock outcrops. The cliffs here are made of soft sandstone and the action of the waves crashing against the cliffs has carved out some wonderful patterns and shapes in the land. Rhondas foot is still a little sore but she manages to walk the whole way. At the far end of the walk we stop for lunch at a little beachside taverna. Rhonda has the traditional tzatziki, greek salad and pitta bread and Glen tucks into a charcoaled lamb shank mmmmmmm. After lunch we walk the clifftops back to Sidari.
It is strange walking the opposite direction as the views are completely different this way. We get back to Sidari and relax on the beach for a while. At night we decide to go to the supermarket and we have a bottle of wine and some local dishes in our little kitchen/dining room in our apartment. Tomorrow we are off exploring in the car again and we are taking an old english gentleman called Douglas Fearnley with us. We met Doug in our hotel and he is 83 years old and amazingly well for his age, It is like being with an old grandad and we have really taken to him so we asked him to come out for the day with us. He has had 2 wives pass away and he comes twice a year on holiday to this hotel by himslef. HE is over the moon that we asked him to join us.
