Boat ride off the island!!!

31 comments


We were invited to a wedding that took place on a little island named Pontikonisi that holds just one church. Jumped on a little boat and arrived in only five minutes…but had fun just the same.


On the way to catch the boat….this is a church that most people visit when coming to Corfu.


On the boat and on our way….


This is Pontikonisi.


Look at what jumped on the roof of the church…


The airplane that will take me to CA to visit Delonix and enjoy his coffee!!!


Pretty flower.


On the way back to the car park….gorgeous Bougainvillea’s.


Red light….look at what I stopped next to….


Sunset on the way home……

Thanks Bamboo...it's a holiday type of place ;o))

Sorry Stickitoffee.....just us on the island and a few tourists. I think I know every single word of every song from Mama mia......my kids love it.

Thanks Bloomer.....I usually try to skip the church part of the weddings but this one I wouldn't miss!!! My daughter took the picture of the sunset while I was driving.

I feel for you Rbtkew. We are having a tropic summer this year, it hasn't really effected Corfu but the rest of Greece is getting a lot of rain. I wouldn't be happy without the sun shinning most of the time! Glad you enjoyed the blog.

My Family & Other Animals. Gerald Durell's book he wrote when he was in Corfu as a youngster. Always wanted to visit when I read it, good film also. The water was so blue & clear when they were in their boat. Great blog Alexa.

Is that film still around bumpy? I shall google or amazon it - I loved the book.

We have cloudless blue skies today - I'm off to the garden!

Fantastic! Yes . . . Bampy . . . go to the North-east of the island, and you can see The White House where the Durrells lived for a while. It is a lovely unspoilt part of the island - isn't that right Alexandramc?! Thank you for letting us see that fabulous wedding location! :)))

You're welcome Sheilabub....I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Yes, there are still a lot of places on Corfu that are unspoilt.
