hippopots:
I have just seen on another section of the forum reports of the death of a man at the beach today.

I don't have any information myself, only what I've read, but I feel we should perhaps not have a report today, but just say that thoughts are with the family at this sad time.

hippopots:
Woke up to another gloriously sunny day again today.

Quite a lot of people doing some last minute shopping before departing today, and new arrivals getting here by tea time.
Met 2 couples early evening who had only been here a few hours, and were loving it already....the magic of San Ste weaving its magic spell!

Not managed to get out for a wander tonight, as hubby is playing darts in Arillas, but the village has been quite busy in our area tonight, with plenty of comings and goings.

hippopots:
A very hot day today....way into the 30's.

And very little breeze, so definately the type of day to be spent in the water or in the shade!

Not many people wandering around in the daytime, but quite a few were taking quads and scooters out this morning to go exploring.

Tonight many enjoying the music of Keith Mitchell in Athens Bar, whilst plenty more joining in the Greek dancing at Thomas Bay.

Around the corner there were some late diners enjoying a quiet meal in Town Pizza, Yianni's and Ozzy Oil....surprising how, once you turn that corner towards Arillas, you leave the music behind, and it instantly becomes quieter....unless 3 W's has music on of course. But tonight it was more peaceful along that end of the village, perfect for a quiet meal, or a drink with Margrita at 3 W's.   

 

hippopots:
A very hot, and quite humid day today. This morning there seemed to be clouds forming over the mountains inland, and I did wonder if we were in for a thunderstorm, but it didn't materialise. In some ways it might have been nice, just to clear the air....mind you, I'm not wishing rain on anyone whilst they're on their hols!

And its still really warm tonight, resulting in many peope enjoying a nice bit of al-fresco dining.

As we come into what is probably the last week or two of the school holidays in the UK, there's still quite a number of families here enjoying their holidays, also still a nice mix of ages and nationalities, so this really is a truely international resort...but with a good choice for the good old British breakfast should it be required!! ;D 

Dupnica:
 We could do with some of your weather here just now. It's August Bank Holiday Monday and I'm sitting here with a sweater,warm trousers and my thermal socks on and I'm even contemplating turning the central heating on.It's been pouring down with rain all day and it's cold.
 Looking forward to some warm sunshine in San Stefanos next month,can't wait.

 You're right Hippopots it's nice to see the different nationalities all getting on together on holday.There have always been visitors from Gemany and Scandinavia but recently more from the Eastern Europe. 

 When the holidaymakers started to arrive fron the Czech Republic they used to travel by coach bringing with them all of their food together with the pots and pans to cook it in and plenty of beer and Vodka. They had very little money to spend,I believe there were limits on how much could be taken out of the country. Times have changed and they seem to be more affluent these days.
