First Time!!
« on: January 29, 2011, 09:17:10 PM »
Here`s a challenge!      Even tho many of us have been to our favourite place many times, on your next visit, what are you going to do for the first time.
Some thing you`ve been meaning to do but always kept putting it off!
Maybe a walk that you`ve never done - or a taverna you`ve never been in to?
Whatever it is, let us know here. Be interesting what`s on the list. Can be anything!
   I`m going to have a think.

  Yammas,  Paul

On my list of places to visit or things to do is -
Go to the summit of Mount Pantokrator on a clear day. The views look amazing.
Visit the islands of Mathraki, Orthoni & Erikoussa
Visit Lake Korission down in the south.
Walk part of the Corfu Trail that takes you through Krini Prinilas & Pagi.
Hire a little moped!!
Get up early one morning & watch the sunrise from Afionas.

I might achieve two or three on my next visit. I think the Corfu Trail will have to wait a while though.
Sandy & Eileen, you'd better what out if you see me on the moped - I've never rode one before!

We arrive at lunch time, so it will be Hi to Dimitris and a long lunch. Then we will unpack and relax at the Mathraki pool, because like Riggers any plans we make beforehand get forgotten, so we will just go with the flow.

We might manage a  first we've been planning for years - a boat trip to Mathraki or Ericousa. But don't hold your breath! Like Val and Bill we will go with the flow and enjoy whatever we do.

Hi Tony, Hope you get to do it. We have tried it 3 times and it's always been locked.
We intend to take it very easy for the whole time in May, which we have always said before and always ended up walking. Viv

It will be the 1st time we have an early flight for years ever since Thomson changed their 06;30 flight in the morning from LB its always been around 11.00 pm when weve arrived in the past so looking forward to the 07:00 flight from Manchester i reckon we should be in Arillas around 1:30 pm so it will be cases dumped shorts on and out for a couple of beers before siesta :-)

I've never managed the 'getting up early' bit, but have 'stayed up late ' (or 'early', depending on which way you look at it :D ) plenty of times and watched the sunrise - fabulous!!!

I'd love a trip to the islands some day - maybe this year.

I cannot for the life of me think anything that I have not done yet that I should do when I get to Arillas next time ???

I am sure there are lots to see, people to meet, tavernas to try etc. but I will figure it out once I get there I'm sure ;)
Life is good ;)

Get up early to photograph a sunrise. Not to get my head burnt!
