The Old Fart (stupid autocorrect)

No tours booked today so it's just us and our legs on a walk to the Old Fort. Oh, we are in Corfu. There are 2 forts in the town that used to be just called forts, but the Uber Eats people kept delivering to the wrong one, so naturally they changed the names to old and new. They were pretty cluey back in the 1600's.
We made our way through the Old Town, paid our 10 euro and in we went. Unfortunately, nobody ever made an accessible fort or castle or anything easy to get to in the old days. They only thought of their own safety and not about future generations whose feet and legs are hurting after a long walk from the Buffet Ship (whose breakfast is weighing heavily) on our bones.
But it's good to knock off the Garmin demands for 10 flights of steps early in the day. This should be as bad as it gets, stair/uphill wise.
On the way back, it was like the town had come to life; 5,000 people from two cruise ships will do that.  The obligatory ice cream and Coke got us back to the ship alive.
The streets are very narrow, except for the one in the picture. Wide street means extra parking. 3 cars wide they parked to turn it into a narrow street again.
I had to do yesterday's run, which was almost 5km, so legs are currently not my friend.
At least the view was good.
