a fortnight gone already!

Well it only seems like yesterday since we picked up Allen & Jean at Thessaloniki Airport and they've now gone back to England and should be braving the frost (and snow in places we heard).
After our couple of days in Tony's villa we decided to show J&A the delights of the Epirus coastline starting with Sivota near Igoumenitsa which was busy but still preparing for the season with men all over armed with strimmers getting all the public areas fit for the up and coming season.

We then moved down to Parga which is one of our favourite places on the coast. They fell in love with it! Busy and buzzing but still with that old Greek charm we spent some time people watching from one of our "special" bars, Island Bar, just on the front below the castle before going on to Ligia beach were we know of a really out of the way fish restaurant were we all refueled prior to going home.

Took Jean and Allen to Arta on Tuesday morning to catch the bus for Athens were they were staying the night in an hotel prior to flying back to Manchester the following day. We came home and gave the house a real good clean as it had been neglected to a certain extent in the time we had visitors here, although for anyone who knows Sandra neglecting housework is a relative term it just means that she had found something not shining!

Today we decided to have a well deserved break and go and spend the day on the beach, we rode down to Kalimni beach and found it was a bit sea weedy and smelly so we went a little further north were we found a beach with about a mile of super sand and no weed or smell - best of all we had the entire lot to ourselves! We spent all day just laying around and swimming with the temperature around the 28 degree on our own beach. The picture shows Sandra from the best view (sorry love don't hit me!) and the rest of the beach stretching away to the north.
