Last cuddles for a while! |
We had Grimsby Fish, chips and mushy peas tonight. |
It is a bank holiday in Corfu – some of our friends in Arillas walked the 'Arillas Trail' today – if anyone would like to see a superb video of it go to -https://vimeo.com/126714635 – it is only approx 3 minutes long, but it gives a good overview of Arillas.

We all had a long lie in after our late night. I woke up to some photos from Larissa.
Sandra and Carol eventually found us after walking half way round the village – I knew they were not listening when I gave them directions last night lol. It seems that what we call the Hotel Marvel is known as Hotel Marvellous by everyone they asked, so they thought it was a different place. We went for a drive to stock up on shopping and then had a late lunch at Akrotiri. It was glorious up there, no wind and the temperature was very pleasant. Whilst driving round the village we came across these little goats – so cute!
We learned today that the new Royal Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana was born and is 4th in line to the throne.
This evening we went to Portofino and had an excellent meal as usual. It was the second night of being open, but was not very busy. Spiros came and sat with us for quite a while. We had a good laugh getting some of his light hearted abuse.
Sunday 3rd May 2015
Beautiful day today, up to 23°.
We had a drive into San Stefanos, and called at Hippopots for Sandra and Carol to meet Jackie and Pete. Sandra could not resist buying something. I love these flip flops on their wall. The shop is looking lovely. We drove down to the harbour then back to Arillas for Poppy to have a swim.
Then to Sharons for a drink and a sit in the sun passing the time away.

This evening we went up to Kaloudis for Spit roast Lamb and a quiz. We teamed up with Kez and Kath. We actually came joint first with two other teams and we lost on the tie breaker. Never mind it was good fun.
We ended the night with a complimentary cocktail – a Screwdriver with 6 straws, and very nice it was too!

Sunny and warm today. I woke up to find a mossy bite on my posterior – first this year.
My daily baby fix |
We walked down to say hello to Yiota – she opened her shop today.
Chocolate and Banana |
Poppy had a swim and then we sat at Sharons and tried a slice of her delicious cake. We were looking at the re-installed bench, thinking we will have to toddle down the end of the jetty for our usual photo – maybe Avrio!
Tuesday 5th May 2015
Another glorious day today – up to 26° and flat calm sea.

A brilliant night again.

Non of us were up very early, so we decided to go to Sea Monkeys for late lunch and a lay in the sun. Just relaxing and soaking up the sunshine. Portofino tonight – excellent as usual. The sea was so calm – I love listening to the waves gently lapping the shore.
The Mermaid is back in place, all the rubbish has been collected – Arillas is awake and wants to welcome all its visitors.
The end of another perfect week for us, we are relaxed and happy. Poppy is enjoying her swims.
