Just another crazy idea, but there are things that we all do in Arillas. Walking along the jetty is one of them, but when the sea is a bit rougher than normal there is one place you can get wet (can be nice when its hot). How many of us have stopped here to dodge the waves?

How many people have sat at this table?

Is it Helens Creperie Terry if so ive parked my backside there on numerous occasions with a royal ionion or Mythos in front of me
I just seem to recognise the aluminium chairs lol
Walked this path

Flippin' 'eck - I can't believe I FINALLY managed to post a photo!!!!
I've been trying so many times and have been helped by so many of you (thank you!) and it looks like it's finally sunk in...
The photo was taken at Ammos having a quiet drink before heading round to Brouklis for dinner
Janis x
Hi, Terry, Vivian, Janis. Great photos, and ,yes, we have `done` these things.
I reckon most of the forum will identify with ths thread.
Another good topic ,Terry.

Flippin' 'eck Janice, you've gone and done it :-). We do expect a lot more photos now you have more time and you're not a photo upload virgin anymore.
How many people have read this menu
(http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n179/terrylwarner/miragemenu.jpg)
Actually, Terry - I'm still officially working until the end of March, but just like to take a little time out and dip into the forum for my "fix" !!
Here's me and Barry at Panorama

Wonderful photos, Sara - thank you.
Now then, Terry - you're a little naughty today!! I was just merely ... ah yes, I see it does look a bit dodgy! (thanks for pointing it out ???)

that beach at porto timoni looks fabulous, we will have to try and negotiate the track this year
ger x
Its a lovely walk Ger, but quite steep & rough in places. You need to wear strong footwear - definitely not flipflops! It's also hard going walking back up, but so long as you take your time & remember to take a drink with you & avoid walking it in the mid-day sun you'll be fine. We always stop at the Dionysos afterwards to recover!!
Here are a few more photos.

They really brightened up a freezing cold day in Denmark and brought back memories.
The snow here is very beautiful, but I'm just longing for spring and summer now!!!

John, not being keen on heights I didn't climb up but made Keith go up instead! It's a fantastic vantage point.

Wonderful photos! I think we'll have to get a bit more adventurous with the camera this May! (perhaps we can capture on film a few fireflies ???)

Yes Janis.......... but don't forget September hol... :)

I am sure everyone has stopped to appreciate Vassilis's beautiful scooter parked by Armourada. It is pure art :)
(http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e336/erkkapetaja/IMG_0050.jpg)
Couldn't agree more Erja!
It reminds me of when I was a young hippie freak, dreaming of becoming a great
artist. Later I had to realise I had to work hard to get bread on the table, and all the
flower-power things were just something we could practice in our spare-time!!
Connie x
Thank you for posting that photo, Erja - I've not seen it before (at least, I can't remember!) so I'll look out for it in May - it looks great!
Janis x
Janis, I would have thought if you'd seen this scooter you WOULD remember it!! :D
lynn xx
You would think so, wouldn't you Lynn? But my memory ain't what it used to be and I may have just had a few....
(or thought I had if I saw the scooter!)

Hi Phil,
You're looking extremely good for your age!
No offence: I'm one year older than you!!!!!
As we both know, it's the inside that really counts and we're still young at heart!

Watched Dimitris, with his trusty calculator, working out the bill.

Loving this topic, thanks for starting it Janis, tried to put pics on yesterday and I've forgotten how to do it!!!!
Will take some time at weekend and get some on.

How many of us have had enjoyed a lunchtime drink or three at Horizon ?
(http://photos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs190.snc3/19743_1364433953450_1309658562_31059787_5662570_n.jpg)
Beautiful Janis!
I have a similar one, only with a glas of white wine.
The Horizon has been my second home on 4 holidays out of 5.
Connie x
Thanks for the compliment, Sharon - but I cannot take the credit! It was our Terry who started it, and what a great topic it is, I agree!
I just tried to upload my last photo direct from the my pictures folder on my pc but it didn't work (I'm sure I'd done it before?) anyway, the easiest way I've found (and I think I've got KEs to thank for this) is it to upload to facebook. Then right click on the photos, right click for properties, select all (this highlights the URL or whatever it's called) then copy. On the Arillas topic click on the icon for insert image (third one in from the left) and paste - between the img/img bit that appears.
Hope it works for you!
Janis x
Hi Janis,
THAT is exactly just what makes me go totally blank!
I would never have been able to post my photos without the help of Mary!
But keep trying, you might not be as senile as I am!
Love Connie x
Or spend a stormy afternoon enjoying the view and the white wine in the Thalassa *deep sigh*
(http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e336/erkkapetaja/View.jpg)
LOL, sorry Terry! Thanks Janis, I'll give that a go if I cant get them on the way I used to.
Janis and Erja, they are both my favourite places for a lunchtime drink! There's nothing better than having a drink and watching the world go by.
Sharon x
Great photos, especially that MYTHOS...mmmmm
Did someone say Mythos??
(http://i641.photobucket.com/albums/uu136/Lynmags/2008_0519smc0155.jpg)
How many have sat in the hammock at the Mirage and enjoyed the odd pint?

Tantalizing photos there folks....thanks for sharing...now where did I put that glass...
Done that a lot Lynn.
Looking forward to doing it a lot more this year.

Good pics Sharon, glad you are posting again. Giant glass of wine and a devoured whole lamb, where do you put it all?
Anyway, talking of large drinks at the Horizon........ I am drooling at this one myself, right now. Sigh...... drinking, relaxing and watching the world go by.

Great photos, Sharon - keep 'em coming!
Not me, Terry - no internet and no newspapers while on holiday ! That's our unwritten rule
It helps focus the mind on what's around us (as if we need the help to focus on Arillas!)
Janis x
I agree with Janis:
no internet and no newspapers while on holiday for me either.
Great pics Sharon.
Love Connie x
Sharon, don't you two look happy :)
Terry!!! I could murder for that beer now.... 8) seriously....
Mmm, me too, Erja!
Eileen,
Sharon usually sups from the jug, the glass is just for show. I should know, my Mary and Sharon have had a few together.
As for the lamb, it was fantastic and later some persons were asked to leave a certain bar because there was no beer left because someone had drunk them dry, no names cos we know who they are.
Catch you later Sharon, Mick (http://www.easyfreesmileys.com/smileys/free-character-smileys-221.gif) (http://www.easyfreesmileys.com/Free-Adult-Smileys/)

Gata,
The penny has just dropped. Having looked at the photos I now recognise you. You came and had a chat at the Horizon and told me about all the naughty things that Sharon gets up to. I think I may have to contact Max Clifford :-)
A couple of sunsets to keep you all dreaming.
Connie x
Techno Terry strikes again !
Nice one Terry !
Laughed at distorted pictures of oneself... Erja, Hels Bels, Jen and I had a real hoot doing that in the Rainbow. But today my well meaning son pointed out some pictures from the 2009 animated film of A Christmas Carol on imdb.com.
(http://img534.imageshack.us/img534/9071/scroogev.jpg)
Does Scrooge remind you of any one???? :D
I really do look that bad in the mornings..... To make it worse the young Scrooge in the film is a dead ringer for my son Gavin. Oh well, somebody loves me.
Phil
Love it!!! At Christmastime I took Liam to see A Christmas Carol and to be honest I never noticed any resemblance to your good self, but now that you mention it........ ;-)
Just don't ever let me hear you quoting ol'Ebenezer..."I haven't taken leave of my senses. I've come to them.".

Terry, as long as can make as much as he get people I'll spill the beans, lol. (or carrots),
Sharon xxx
Lol Sharon,
I think we need to hear about "The incident in Sidari" :-)
It might be worth contacting Max after all.
John Terry wasn't there was he?
Terry, I could not possibly repeat that on here, I would be barred for life! hahaha.
If i ever see you in Arillas I will tell you, I have never drank Baileys and Cointreau at the same time since!!! ;)
Sharon x
Oh dear Sharon, I hope you took precautions. This is what a baileys and cointreau cocktail is called.
Cointreauceptive
Ingredients:
* 3 oz Bailey's irish cream
* 1 oz Cointreau
* 2 cubes Ice
Did you have any Mates with you at the time :-)

The only use a Man City shirt would be for is to mop up, ;) great results on saturday.
