We Have A Plan, but no Wi-fi - 16th August

Chris and I were up early this morning and were discussing where we are going to go on our way home. It has been really hard to decide but we have settled on Pompeii (which was always on the route), Lake Garda, Lac Laman (on the Swiss/French border) and then a sprint for home.

We headed to Roda, just down the coast, to see the Apollo Temple that we had seen signs to on a previous trip. We also wanted to visit the butchers (if it was open on a Sunday) and go to the wi-fi cafe to load the blog. The butchers was open so we bought tea for today and tomorrow and headed of to the temple. Yet again we were confounded by the lack of decent signs here and never did track the place down.

Chris and Alex had spotted a local purveyor of the well loved corfuit kebab so the plan was to upload the blog at the cafe and then retire to the kebab shop for lunch. No such luck; despite paying out for expensive drinks, we were unable to get onto the internet so the blog will have to wait.

Kebabs in Corfu are not those greasy, drunken, must have munchies that we all know and love (or hate) back home. The gyros (donner) is still on a big spit roast but is actually big chunks of pork all skewered together then grilled. Pork and chicken stifado is also available (chunks of meat freshly barbecued to order). Each kebab is wrapped in a round flat bread somewhat similar in texture to a naan. It is then filled with Tzatziki, paprika spiced mayo, tomato and chips – yes chips!

We headed of back to the apartment for an afternoon of relaxation and more swimming.
