Arillas Today

[raff]

Morning

have we any updates on the rest of the tavernas Eggy?

Thanks Raff

[Eggy]

Thalassa in about a weeks time but still no sign of Vinceremos. Athina is open but not sure about Thomas's fish place. All others seem to be open but need to double check Eftihia.
Amnos open but unsure what is happening with Portofino.
Rainbow now open for food including breakfasts. (Had one this morning)
Cheers

Thanks, any news on The Horizon & Ina's please

[Eggy]

Raff
I am sure I mentioned these, on another posting. Anyway , Ina's has been up n running for quite a while and Horizon Pool is full. Saw someone behind the bar there , today,  so assume it is open for customers.
Vinceremos is now putting tables out and there are tables, outside , at Thomas's.
Tis all taking shape and weather is good. - 34deg at 6:30pm. Beach is looking busier
so........ bottom line is you are still spoilt for choice,
Cheers

Aww great news about Thalassa! How could I possibly last a whole year without Penelope’s temptation?! I saw on Facebook that Effies is also open. Happy days! Just need Perry and Kosta to open their doors and I will be beyond happy

[Truth]

Coconut's open soon Jo so all is looking good 😉

[Lawty]

Spoke to Peri at Coconut yesterday and he is hoping to open next Wednesday. He’s waiting for UK people to arrive and I quote “there is no party without people from the UK”

Brill that will be our first night out! Happy days x

[Eggy]

Armourada, very soon , will follow the "Nut" - I think the Arillas "Jigsaw Puzzle" will then be complete.
(Saldy without Portofino  but.... you never know)
Once again we have all enjoyed a 30 deg plus , dry and hotty day, today. - My poor 'ole Punto is finding it harder to get a nice parking spot and perhaps I am getting paranoid in thinking......
........ "Is it only me that gets caught behind a 5mph Tourist??" - (But, right now we all luv em to bits!!")
"Distance" rules etc are being strictly adhered to here. - This looks after us all, but takes a lot of getting used to. - Vasillis (Armourada) in a mask?? - Aaaaarrrgh!!
Cheers

Lawty- how did you find your journey.  The airport etc. Any feedback.  Sorry if I have missed it on another thread.

Hi Sonia,
From what Lawty posted it all went very well and smoothly 👍

[Lawty]

Lawty- how did you find your journey.  The airport etc. Any feedback.  Sorry if I have missed it on another thread.

It was much better than I imagined. Having to wear a mask unless you are eating or drinking was ok. Not allowed to queue for toilet on plane and flight attendants did stop people queueing. The Passenger Locator Form you have to complete gives you a QR code 24 hours before flight and it your code starts with a 1 you will be Covid tested at the airport but if your code starts with a 2 you don’t need a test. We were tested but was still out of the airport within 30 minutes of arrival. Luggage was ready as soon as we had had the swan done. All very efficient. Lots of cleaning going on in Arillas but people are being sensible and social distancing. Virtual hugs only 👏

Thanks Lawry for the update. I wonder how they decide who yo swab.

[soniaP]

Lawty - sorry to ask more questions.  Just wondering what type of questions are on the passenger locator form? Does it ask a lot if questions like occupation, if you have  had covid or had a covid test etc. We are just wondering what criteria they use to decide who to swab. We are getting stabbed a 2 or 3 days before we go anyway and just wondering if we should wait to fill in the firm until we have been stabbed and even got results. 

[Eggy]

We are getting stabbed  2 or 3 days before we go

Sonia , you are obviously visiting dubious places!!!

Should not make light of this but so much doom n gloom. -

Arillas has that extra buzz today and if I cannot park the Punto then must be good for all,
30 deg at 6pm and closing.....
Cheers
