Taylor's travels : Corfu Greece day 12

So I found out why all the flights going out were delayed, there was a fire on one of the runways at the airport! And sadly my flight was delayed 5 hours! However the bad part was they didn't notify how long the delay would be, on the board it just kept showing our flight was departing at 8:30pm but didn't show a gate number. So me and everyone else on the flight had nothing to do but wait and watch the screens.

I met a older Australian couple, we got to talking and I found out they were staying at a resort close to mine, so we decided that when we got to the airport we would split a taxi! And I was very happy to do this because I was a little uncomfortable getting a taxi alone at 4am. And I heard the taxis are around €50 so splitting one would be awesome!

Our flight finally got to Corfu at 4am! When we were supposed to land at 11pm. Me and the Australians got in the cab and went to their resort first, then I was taken just down the road to mine. Finally crawling into bed at 4:30am.

When morning came I was quite jet lagged, even though it was only an hour and a half flight I had been sitting in airports for 8 hours. So I went for a swim in the pool at the hotel, then grabbed some lunch at the hotel restaurant. The food is so much cheaper compared to Italy!

I had plans to meet up with Rhonda later that evening. (She grew up in provost and we have been in contact quite a bit when it comes to me coming to Corfu.) I went to the beach to check things out and see what I have around me. The beach is literally a 5 minute walk! From my room I can see the Mediterranean Sea just out from my balcony!

When I was at the beach I found a BBQ party beach package that leaves Corfu by boat for the day doing different stuff like cave swimming, snorkeling and a bunch of other things. So I bought a ticket for that to do the last day I'm here!

Rhonda picked me up at my hotel to take me out for supper, we went to a restaurant owned by one of her friends. I had supper with her, her husband, their 2 kids and their friends that's are down from holland.

We sat after supper and visited for the rest of the evening. Food was delicious and the owner gave us all dessert on the house! Rhonda took me back to my hotel after midnight when we all decided to call it quits. Going to meet up again tomorrow evening to go into old Corfu town!
