Friday had been scheduled to be stormy ever since we got here over a week ago, and boy they were spot on. How do they do that?
A storm of epic proportions arrived at about 4.00 and lasted through the night with torrential rain, thunder and lightning. Unfortunately it confirmed something we had been thinking about – traditional homesteads can be very charming, but a modern 5th floor apartment with everything working (including the lift) is lovely. Especially when you get a grandstand view from the balcony.
Corfu first thing in the morning – now you see it …
… and (later on) now you don’t
Thought we’d survived until the next morning when the whole town had a power cut – which cuts off the water pump so no water either. Luckily we had opened the electric blinds and had a coffee so not a complete disaster!
