Bougainvillea

A flower named after the french admiral Louis Antoine de Bougainville, an interesting guy. Have a look!

Kanoni

Right at the end of Corfu airport, the Vlacherna monastery on the Kanoni peninsula. The monks left in 1980, too many tourists probably, and far too noisy. I went there early. When I left, around 10 AM, I counted a dozen tour busses, a few hundreds unmasked Italians... Not good.

Weekend in black and white

I was recently welcomed to my hotel room by this strange looking...watchacallit? Any name suggestion welcome! Octopus dismantled? Quartered?

More b&w here.

The love channel

In Sidari, 40 km north of Corfu town, you can find true love... According to the legend, anyway. The beach is called Canal d'Amour, in French (I couldn't find out why). More about it here.

A Greek/Russian Monday mural. Cheers!


 Well, I went to Greece last week, once again. The island of Corfu. And this is the only mural I could find, in an ocean of graffiti. Does not look very Greek, does it...

More Monday Murals here. Cheers, comrades! Nazdarovya!

Weekend in black and white

I needed a break, I needed a trip to Greece. So, one week in Corfu, without a computer! I am fully vaccinated! 
As I tend to avoid tourist hotspots, I always go to the backstreets. One of the gems I found there.

Are you ready...

Finally on the road again!

Away for a while, without a computer, after being stuck at home for a long long time... Not sure if I'll be able to post anything. Anyway, this airplane is a perfect tool for some sunny holidays on a Greek beach, lol!
More tools here, on the CDP theme day page.

Out of this world

The feeling I have every time I go there, the Paris science museum in the Villette area.

A weekend reflection

The Castello degli Estensi, aka the castle of the Este family, in Ferrara, Emiglia-Romagna, Italy. Nice family home indeed! lol

More weekend reflections here.
