Corfu

Our outing at Corfu, Greece was to the Achilleion Palace. It was originally built for the Empress Elizabeth of Austria but she was assassinated before it was completed. It was then purchased by Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany.

We did some photo stops on the way back, principally for Mouse Island (because it's shaped like a mouse, or at least someone thought so). We ended up back in town and walked through the Esplanade, past the cricket pitch, and by the Saint Spyridon Church (patron saint of Corfu).

Then back at the boat in time for sunset.

All the photos are here.
