San Stefanos Online ~ North West Corfu

Current view of the locals is right through August, I'm afraid.

Andy sure ain't kidding! It is, as they say here, para poli zesti !

HOWEVER - the sea is a wonderful temperature - like bathing in the waters of paradise. We were sitting at Waves for a late lunch watching the horses from the riding school wading about in the sea over towards the old harbour. The islands are just faintly visible through the heat haze. There was a tiny breeze - just a few miles an hour - for a while this morning, but it didn't last long.

Me - I sleep fine without air-con, which I hate. Maybe four years living in the African bush trained me for it!

I've spoken to Lauren - Thomsons rep - and she was as helpful as she could be. She suggests getting the booking revised to ensure that BL is on the details. She checked with Olga, and there are two rooms with no balcony.

Never weighed at Doncaster.

I'll ask Lauren, the rep, to look into it tomorrow. That way you can go through "channels."

It was great last night to get a free copy of the hot-off-the-press newspaper!

It's eight full-colour pages, edited by the beautiful and talented Cerys of San Stef Travel, and - wow! -  has she done a great job! Lots of useful information, very well written, and a great feature about a couple who met San Stef, fell in love, got married in San Stef, and have now moved to the village.

The paper has been sponsored by local business. It's fun for old hands, and will be invaluable for newcomers.

Hey - there's even a picture of Noula, Sally and Cerys on the front page.

Speaking as a (very) old hack, I can tell you that this very well done. Full marks, Cerys :-)

Don and Sandra were disgustingly brown.
