Aug 2011: Durrell Bay Corfu

The next stop in our day trip was to check out the house where Lawrence Durrell stayed.

Parked the car and the family joined me.

Well, we had a nice sign pointing to the direct direction.

Here’s the white house.

And you can rent it. You know something, this is really a lovely little villa.

Moving down into the villa.

Photobucket

Whitewashed walls, green wooden shutters, sunlight sparkling off the sea, what more does a man want when he wants to write?

Photobucket

We went down to the covered courtyard where there are some tables laid out for meals and stuff.

Photobucket

The bay has lovely little boats.

Photobucket

See what I mean by tables.

Photobucket

The clear blue waters of the bay.

Photobucket

An olive plant.

Photobucket

The tables are placed dangerously next to the edge, lol.

Photobucket

The right hand side of the bay has these forests. Very nice.

A motor boat. And look, another one

Mamma is going around looking at the posters.

Diya is admiring the boat shaped ice cream unit.

A sailboat….

Some lovely houses overlooking the bay.

Photobucket

Some very expensive boats.

Another motor boat.

Photobucket

We had a nice lunch and I had an excellent beer.

Photobucket

Now doesnt that look brilliant?

Finished it and took off, and then saw this great sight from top of the road.

I loved the idea of having a place to sit and write like what Lawrence Durrell had has a huge appeal. Maybe one day…
