June 30- Before leaving Zagoria, we stopped in Aristi and had a fabulous lunch of Greek salad & beef in tomato sauce. Zagoria totally redeemed themselves here. Back to Ioannina to drop off the car & head to the bus to Igoumenitsa & then Corfu. But first, our rental car rep offered to drive us to the bus station, and upon hearing that we hadn’t seen Ioannina, she decided to show us around. We spent about 30 minutes riding around with our impromptu tour guide. What a nice lady Angela is. The bus to Iqoumenitsa was a nice ride, and we quickly jumped on the ferry boat to Corfu! Took a quick taxi ride to Kontokali, where Ann & Dave own a bar called the Beer Bucket. Ann & Dave showed up soon and the reunion began. Ann and JJ know each other from Saudi Arabia during their high school years. We had a great night re-hashing old stories and cruising the area of Kontokali and Gouvia, which is the more restaurant/bar/shopping area.
Ann & Dave have an 8 month old baby named Charlie who is georgeous. He’s a die-hard Liverpool fan and future opera singer. He definitely has some pipes! And the pitch he hits gets to that certain part of your eardrums that makes you jump an inch off the ground.
