Day 1 Corfu to Sarande

Leoš and I finally went for our summer holiday.  We found tickets to Corfu and then took a ferry to Sarande.  The airport in Corfu was VERY close to the city center.  It took us 30 minutes to walk to the ferry office from the airport.  It was shockingly close.  I do not think I have ever walked from an airport to the city in all the traveling I have done in my life.  Once we got to the ferry office, we were informed that there was a ferry ready to go to Sarande.  We rushed to the port and got on the ferry.  It was a nice 1hour ride and we were able to escape the heat for a bit.  Once we arrived to Sarande, we walked another 30 minutes to our accommodation.  HOWEVER, the address on booking.com didn't match up and we ended up on a dead end street next to a hotel.  Luckily, there was a nice worker who called our accommodation and directed us to the correct direction. Once we got to our accommodation I was DRIPPING with sweat.  It was so hot!!!! We rested a bit in our accommodation and went to the center and enjoyed the beach for a little bit.  In the evening we went to the music festival that was happening in the city.  It was a very busy first day.  (pictures are a bit out of order)

While browsing online, I came across a light exhibition that was at Chodov shopping mall.  I thought it would be a cool thing to check out when it was too hot to walk around outside.  My friend and I decided to go to it and it was so cool.  There were so many areas that were great to take photos.  At the beginning of the exhibition, everyone is given a heart shaped umbrella to walk with to have a unique experience with the lights.  Then there were some mirror tunnels and then a room that had a giant block with a lot of lights changing styles.  There was a place to do "graffiti" with the lights and then a room that had a video program of about 5 minutes.  It was a very nice exhibition to experience and I am very glad we went.
