The Star Clipper
Went to Corfu town today and saw this ship elegantly sailing away. It is a modern cruise ship for luxury-loving passengers in search for the traditions and romance of the golden era of sailing ships. Rate per passenger for a two-occupancy room is as high as 6,000USD for a 7-night cruise.

It was a very hot day today and while H was buying a Greek music CD in town, I went out of the shop for some fresh air, saw a chair and sat there. Seeing this saleslady standing by the door, I thought it was a good photographic opportunity.
