Day 47 (Sunday)
Awoke excitedly to the thought that other people would be
joining us today. Tracey and I had run
out of things to talk about six weeks ago so it will be nice to have someone
else to converse with.
The little girl had returned again and was hanging around
expectantly. After we had packed the car
we asked her if we could pay, fully expecting her to get one of her parents but
she took us into her office, pulled open a drawer of her desk and handed over
our bill which we duly paid.
We went to our favourite spot in Aghia Efimia for lunch (the
Paradise Beach Taverna as frequented by the Gibsons) and then headed off to
Trapezaki to find the villa where we will be staying for the next two
weeks. The villa wasn’t due to be ready
for us until 4pm so when we arrived at 2:30pm we fully expected to be turned
away but there was no one around and the key was in the door so we moved in and
got ourselves settled before going to the airport to pick up Cris and Jane.
Kefalonia airport is quite nice because you can sit in a
taverna just outside the airport and watch the planes come in. When we saw TCX1248 arrive we just walked
down to the arrivals hall. Tracey had
been practising her waving and put this to good use when we saw Cris and Jane
coming through passport control. Jane
told us tales of wind, rain and cold back in old Blighty but we didn’t believe
her. Off we went back to the villa for
Chicken Pastitstada and to catch up with all the gossip.
Day 48 (Monday)
It was a nice warm day today so it was a good opportunity to
try out the pool. Someone had kindly
left two lilos behind and we had great fun learning how to balance on these but
we were much better at falling off of them.
The sea was calling so we drove to Aghia Efimia to find a quiet beach
and followed it up with a late lunch/early dinner at Paradise Beach
Taverna. On the way back through Aghia
Efimia we stopped and booked a motor boat for Wednesday (one with a steering wheel
this time).
