Corfu

We are in the old town of Kerkira on the island of Corfu. It is a special festival day here to celebrate the unification of the Ionian Islands.

We sailed past Albania and came ashore by tender.  The town is alive for the festivity with 27 bands from far and wide.

Robert's joke of the day - What do you get when you have 27 bands marching similtaneously around old Corfu town?  Answer:  corfusion!

It was a colourful sight with religious ceremonies, national costumes, parades, flags and of course the marching bands.

Robert with some locals.

Some of the musicians.
