    Hi Roders

    Haven't been to Corfu, but been to Greece in the times BC (Before Children!!!)

    Anything special to look out for?? Well, the Ouzo - creeps out everywhere.... in the bar, taverna, ice cream parlour, supermarket.... and keep an eye out for those Olive tress!!!! One glass of Ouzo, and they are springing up everywhere - in the miidle of the path, where you are sitting, under your seat!!!!!!!!!
    And the worst thing of all - you find a nice quiet stretch of beach - unload all your gear - then out of no-where - loads of young, skinny, topless women appear!!!! After that, I used to get no more sense out of Mr HB - he always blamed it on last nights ouzo!!! ;) ;)

    Have a fantastic time!!!! :cool:
