--- Quote from: Jimbo on February 26, 2014, 01:13:13 AM ---The boat's easy:

(1)   Boats are usually on the water
(2)   The water is at the edge of the town
(3)   The boat leaves from the Old Harbour, which is sensibly placed next to the water
(4)   The Old Harbour is next to the Old Fort
(5)   The Old Fort is a stonking great rock with a castle on the top
(6)   Useful phrases (a) - "Where is the sea, parakalo?"
(7)   Useful phrases (b) - "Is that gigantic rock with a castle on the top The Old Fort?"
(8.)   If you are at the edge of the sea and the Old Fort is to your right walk past it
(9)   Go down the steps to the harbour level
(10) The boat should be floating in the water. If it has sunk, ask for your money back
(11 ) More useful phrases: "I've lost my husband - fancy a drink big boy?"
(12) Notes: Water is the blue wet stuff that laps on the shores of Kerkyra
(13) Notes: Water is also the blue wet stuff you can jump into off the boat on the way home
(14) More useful phrases: "Yassou, Captain. My husband jumped off the boat and he's swimming to the shore. Can we leave now?"

(15a) Addition notes: If you don't know which way the sea is, ask: "Poo eenay ee thalassa?"
(16b) Additional notes: It is not essential and possibly risky to to take a husband on trips. They'd be happier in the bar

Have fun!

(17) Stupid forum turns numbers into smileys.

Terri:
I'm interested in Corfu Town by boat but can't see it on the San Stef Travel website.  Is it something they put on for the summer does anyone know?

Jimbo:
By Zeus, you're right. No longer listed.

Cerys - Please advise!

We did the Corfu Town by boat about 3 years ago.... To be honest it was awful!
Got picked up around 3pm at Romanza. Had to get dressed up as we would be there for the evening (dinner on Liston etc)

Bus had to drive somewhere via pick up in Sidari due to harbour being silted up. It took about an hour just to reach the boat.
There was very little shelter from the sun and it was scorching.... Few folk getting burnt.... I felt like I'd got sunstroke.
Arrived about 5pm

Had to return to boat about 9pm for journey back. Wind got up and it was very choppy. Felt really cold given the fact it was so warm earlier.
Then had to get back on bus and face same 60 min journey back.

Got back to Romanza about 11.30pm.

It was like an endurance test. Would much rather have been on an air conditioned coach for 90 mins
