I agree about the Halifax Clarity card. I have one as back up for anything unexpected. Only time used (not here), the rate was quite favourable. All thanks to the Martin Lewis website - he truly is a guru of saving money.
We have brought cash and use the available safety deposit boxes so that we're not carrying around a fortnight's spending money. Have been exchanging the cash over the last 12 months, in an attempt to avoid any massive swing on the rate.
As warned above, rate advertised at 1.10 (next to Express Supermarket), may still incur charges or commission.
Greek night at Barras was good fun, everyone encouraged to get up and join in. I've seen some really good photos of the night posted to Facebook.
Yesterday was very hot, wind has dropped considerably. Sea has been so calm. The sunset last night was amazing. We watched from the 180 bar. Drink prices slightly more than others but the free entertainment as the sun dipped gracefully behind Diaplo is unrivalled. The colour changes were incredible. As the sky changed, so did the colour of the calm waters below us. Along with 2 visiting sail boats, it was a perfect picture postcard moment.
Finished our drinks and walked along the beach for dinner at Manthos.
Off to Corfu town today. My first visit for over 25 years.
