Whats up with the webcam??! Looks like a sandstorm has hit Arillas, can see nowt!
Oh dear! Or maybe the fog has engulfed the village :(
Just had an email from Bobby at The Bardis Sun, it was a general chitty chatty email but he happened to mention that a fog had descended on Arillas which is a sign of extreme heat, theyre expecting 36 degrees today!! He said it disappears as the day goes on and i just had a squiz at the webcam and it seems to have lifted now, so people there will no doubt be roasting!!
Hi Clare
Lovely - no chance of roasting here though ;)
Next time you email Bobby say hello from me.
Sarah
Hi Sarah,
Yeah course i will, i need to email him back anyway.
He said he hasnt heard a proper London accent since i left haha!! He said he also asked Nancy to give him a one way ticket to the UK just so he could cool off cos its been that hot!!
He also said that a couple of weeks ago one of his guests went in and asked for a Smiffy cocktail :-D !!
Ive got to send him some pictures of Mexico, hes jealous we're off on holiday bless him, he cant wait for his break.
He signed off 'your Greek toyboy' the cheeky monkey!!
Thanks Clare
Ahh bless toyboy hey - What will Brett have to say ;)
I wish i could get a one way ticket to Corfu to get away from this weather!! Rain is forecast most of the weekend - great.
I bet he is jealous of you going to Mexico - i know i am.
Take care.
Sarah
Mrs Egg on the beach at 9am this morning.
Very strange mist.
Every now and again someone came out the sea. They jsut appeared from the "fog"
It was still warm though with many people "setting up camp" for the rest of the day.
Negg
Haha i know!!
I know, rain and more rain, great!!
Ooh spooky, to be sat there and then all of a sudden someone just 'appears' very strange.

No its not an old black & white photo.......
This was the mist in May this Year ..about 1pm lasted about 4 hrs ...
it was a very strange atmosphere visibility down to about 20 yards..
very humid,the sea was realy warm & not a ripple on the water...
well not from the breeze....!!!!
Friday was my last day in Arillas and you couldn't see further than a few yards all morning but by midday it had lifted and normal services were resumed. I was there a few years ago and it was like that several days running in August but for most of the day.
We were also there that day (just found this post!). It was really strange and the silence it created was eerie! It was me who ordered the Smiffy cocktail - was my first drink in Arillas!!
Haha he found it so funny that someone asked for it by that name, he said at first he thought it was a new drink he knew nothing about, bless him!!
Hope you enjoyed it :-) .
Smiffy, what's the cocktail? I love cocktails, so what is it and where can I order it? xx
Actually I had the Smiffy vodka, not cocktail! It was yummy - tasted just like bubblegum! Smiffy will have to let you know what they both are! Wonder if they serve them in Mexico?
Cheryl ive found a pub local to me that does the vodka, yum!!
Right the smiffy cocktail is a 'screaming orgasm' by its original name, Bobby at The Bardis apartments makes them, its gorrrrrrgeous!!
The other drink i got started on was the blue vodka, made by Smirnoff with Nordic berries, you have this mixed with 7up, oh it is lush, it tastes like the blue ice poles you can get, therefore not like alcohol so you get quite drunk haha!! Bobby had to get more supplies of it whilst i was there!
Also if you go in the Malibu bar, order a Malibu Kiss cocktail, oh its divine and its pink, which is always good!! I used to go every Happy Hour and get 2 for 1, im not an alcoholic, honest!!
They do the Smirnoff Vodka Norsk in some of the city pubs in Norwich - I think its the same as nordic but is stronger, it tastes very similar - had a few to many a few weeks back and suffered the next day!
Yeah thats its proper name Vodka Norsk.
Haha, thats what i like to hear!
Smiffy, I will go to the Bardis and say to Bobby I want a screaming orgasm like you gave smiffy. Do you think he will do?? x
Sharon, he's so polite and friendly he would never refuse a request from a holidaymaker!! Enjoy!
Bobby will gladly take up your request, it will probably make him laugh aswell haha!!
Jimmy and Spiro at the Rainbow also provide a good screaming orgasm...........(have not tried it personally!!!!!!!!!!!!)
The names of the cocktails are really funny. I felt so stupid round ordering a "shitty death" or a "pick me up off the floor" - why do they give them these names? In my day(!) you just ordered a pina colada or tequilla sunrise - where have they gone? Must be getting old!
Ooh i love Pina Colada, my mum got me started on those years ago when i was about 8 or 9 when we used to go on holiday, she'd allow me a sip.
So now i always have one whenever im on holiday, i even had one when we went out for our anniversary up London, yum!
I shall be working my way thru the cocktail list in Mexico also!
hahahahha cheryl, i'm going to order a screaming orgasm for myself and shitty death for billy, hope i get what i want pmsl xxx
I amaddicted to Pina Caladas! Perry at the coconut makes fabulous creamy ones. Every year when we get there for our first visit they automatically get one ready for me as I am so predictable! God KNOWS how many caloriesare in them!
I recently had a four day break(on my own!) in Cyprus for my best mates wedding and the ones there weren't a patch on Arillas. As the place wasn't! Its only when you go somewhere else you appreciate just how idyllic Arillas is.
