We got back on friday but i've been busy washing ironing and gardening so never had time to post. I'm ready for another holiday. So heres away.
We received a warm welcome as usual from our friends at the akti(no monica as she is in poland doing a yoga course). A few mythos and we were chilled and ready to go. It is so lovely to walk down the street and be greeted like old friends "welcome back", "nice to see you again".
The first night we took 'our seats' in the coconut and were there for 14 nights as usual. We are creatures of habit. Hana, kostas and perry were as lovely as ever. Little akis(perry and marias boy) is like a little cherub, gorgeous.
Next day went for a chat with sharon(marina pool) and met janice and barry. Nice to meet you both.
The weather was improving all the time after a dull start.
Must mention the sea breeze taverna. Yiannis has certainly got it together after a bad year last year. With help from glen it is much improved. The back of the restaurant is opened up and is light and airy with a new roof replacing the old leaky one, and gone are the old horrible toilets.
Following on from other reports we can add that the prices in the bars and restaurants are all exactly the same as last year. The shops may be more expensive for anyone buying groceries but i dont go on holiday to cook or clean. Cigs have gone up but they are still much cheaper than at home.
We hired a quad again and that was the same price as well. Fuel is dearer but you can go for miles on a quad with a full tank.
The exchange rate was 1.19 so that is better than we got at home.
Had a good day out on a boat with mick, jill and calum, skippered by captain dave. Tony has dried out now. Every wave hit him and missed the rest of us. It was good fun.
Met riggers again in the coconut with sue. He's a creature of habit as well. Then met neil, lynn and colin, craig and some others in the rainbow. It is nice when you actually see people you talk to on the forum. Of course mick, jill and calum are old friends now thanks to the forum.
All too soon our holiday was over but on a good note its only 14 weeks til we go back and do it all again. Look forward to seeing all who are there then.
Riggers we've heard about what happened when we left! He's going back in september are you ha ha
Hope everyone who's going this season has a wonderful time and helps the local economy by spending money in the bars and restaurants etc. Enjoy.
