And then there were (briefly) Six then Two Again


Day 51 (Thursday)

After yesterday’s exertions a lazy day was called for so we lazed around the pool without even having the energy for another round of Lilo Wars.

Day 52 (Friday)

Jane wanted to go and see the beach where the Italian soldiers marched up and down in the Captain Correlli film (Mirtos Beach).  We drove along the stunning coastline stopping to take lots of photos on the way.

I kept saying that Mirtos beach was great to look at from a distance but terrible to actually visit.  Happily, I was proved wrong, the beach was beautiful and the crystal clear sea was very warm.  I can’t believe it’s October next week.

A visit to Mirtos has to be followed by a trip to Assos (and its narrow Isthmus) for a cup of coffee.  Cris and Jane decided that Assos could be a potential holiday destination.  We travelled back to our villa for a quick shower before heading out to our local tavern (Enastron) for moussaka and kleftiko washed down with vanilla and chocolate ice cream (for some – Jane and Tracey).

Day 53 (Saturday)

We can’t quite believe that our week with Cris and Jane is over.  With heavy hearts we loaded the little Hyundai and set off for the airport.  While we were queuing to check in Tracey spotted her friend and (former) colleague Diane with her partner Ray further back in the queue so it was good to have a chat with them.  Once Cris and Jane had checked in we could go back up the hill for breakfast at a taverna.

The taverna was all abuzz with the news that Craig Revel Horwood from Strictly was on the flight.  Ray was particularly excited about this.  It sounds like they are going to have an interesting flight home.

Once we’d waved our fond farewells it was time to do some shopping and get ready for the arrival tomorrow of ‘the Mothers’.
