Once we landed in Gatwick, we were faced with a 2 hr line-up through customs. Almost seemed as long as the flight! That's the worst we have ever had!
We left the airport and hopped onto a train to London Bridge. Brrr...was it cold and windy here.
After a few hours of wandering around we headed outside of London by train for a one hour ride north to Bishops Stortford where we would spend the night at Latchmead Inn.
Scenery around our Inn!
Had a huge fish and chips meal at the 500 year old neighborhood pub, The George. The locals were extremely friendly and wanted to talk to us. They all would love to come to Canada.
After a well needed sleep, we left the Inn in the rain to Stanstead Airport for our next flight to Corfu,Greece in the Adriatic Sea between Italy and the former Yugoslavia.
Our B & B host picked us up after our 3 hour flight to take us to Corfu Town where we would start our Adriatic adventures.

The walkway across the street looking towards old town and the old fortress on the right.
Our first day on Corfu with 22 C, we spent exploring the wonderful old town. Finally, some blue skies and heat.
Hhmmmm...

Then we went home to sleep in the late afternoon, as jet lag was still hanging around. It is rather nice to sleep parts of the day away. Haha!
That's it for now. Do take care and drop us a line when you can.
