Corfu

Since Eileen was a young teenager she has always wanted to visit Corfu, the once home of the Durrells. She was not disappointed.

We were glad that until the last days of our mission we had not visited one. It would have been such a distraction for our main mission responsibilities. But when we arrive home we have identified at least 3 realistic projects.
