Paxos / Lakka Yassas, Hey I love this place, great for a travvelling rat, loads to poke around in. I'll hand you over to the big folk for a while here... ...Hi Another nice if slightly overcast day, we nip to the little 'super' market for provisions. They have a dog which sleeps in the doorway and growls at anyone trying to get in ("Hey Yiannis, business is a little slack this year..Whats going on...Elenis place is ALWAYS busy") We go to Eleni...

Lorraine has Marks 'Flu and is laid low. Ferry docks at Corfu at 7am. Lorraine feels too unwell to cart her backpack around Corfu town so we check the luggage and take a lookaround. After a chat with an Irish-Corfun...
