Hot and sunny again today.
It was very calm this morning, with the sea looking more like a lake, with just a few rippling waves lapping at the shore. A bit of a breeze came this afternoon, which was lovely and refreshing, and created a few waves, but still great to swim in.

This evening hubby went to Sunset, to play in a darts match, and has just returned saying what a great place it is.
Ashamed to say that neither of us has been in before. I know last year there were a few comments on the forum about how quiet it was. Unfortunately no-one likes to go into an empty place....

But I must say, that right from when they opened this year it looks so much more inviting than last season. Lots of dining tables out on the front patio, with candles flickering at night, and nice new parasols.
Although Pete didn't eat there, 3 people he was with did, and said the food was great.
Friendly owners/staff and nice clean surroundings.....definately one to try before the end of summer. 

hippopots:
Guess what...hot and sunny again!

The Mistral wind did pick up this afternoon though, blowing in off the sea.
I went to the beach for about half an hour, and had a quick dip, but the sea was quite choppy this afternoon, so didn't venture too far in. Luckily it's so shallow for quite a distance, you'd have to go a long way to get out of your depth.  :o

Saw Kerry from Ozzy Oil today, she flew back in on Wednesday evening, and this morning was working her way around the village, catching up with everyone. I'm sure she's already back to work at the restaurant!
And her Mum Sandra returns tomorrow, so expect to see her at the juice bar soon.

Sellsy:
Thank you for the daily snap shots Hippopots, really enjoy the little pictures you create for us as we sit here in the rain ! ( you happy now  Waspman!  ) Sounds like everything is in full swing which is great,  just over two weeks for us, so fingers crossed you continue with your ' it's hot again' theme. Cheers.

Gavlah1973:
Spoke to Mrs Hippopots briefly this aft as we left Aquarius. McKenzie loves Bod the dog.
Also thanks to Waspman for turning up in his Waspman top and letting Kenz sit on the quad. Lovely people and good to see em again.

hippopots:
Nice to meet Gavlah1973 and Waspman today.
Mckenzie can come and see Bod anytime....he expects cuddles off of everyone!

And it turns out Waspman is a fellow 'moonraker', from the same neck of the woods in the UK as us.

Beautiful hot sunny day again today.
And the sea was totally different today. After yesterdays surf, it was back to its placid self again, just gently lapping at the shore. Much easier to swim in!

Went for a walk to the beach tonight, then onwards up the slope towards the church, and back through the 'old' village. Everyone was pretty busy, lots of people out and about. Fantasea had quite a lot of people sitting outside, enjoying the view across the bay. It's nice to see the lights twinkling away on the Diapontia Islands.
Coming back through to the 'newer' part of the village, there was choices of live music in Silver Star, Thomas Bay, Condor, and Athens. Also quite a few people heading down to Aquarius.....nice place to sit and have a drink if you're not into live music.
