To get back on topic, due to a mixture of family bereavements and health matters of my own, I did not do my usual booking ahead until this week ( 1 in Tsaros and 1 in Kaloudis). We were astounded at the prices in Thomson shops, so I booked online to get a discount, but the prices were still up on this year. Oh yes, and I did not book the crap plane meals this time neither!!

Where to stay / Re: Nondas Apartments

An acqaintance just back from a fortnight at Nondas, tells that all is not right there. Himself is still under par, and Dimitri seems disinterested in Elpitha, and the other brother similar. The two beds have all been sold off to an English property developer, leaving just  the 1 beds. Hmmmm.

Really?? How bizarre- the only place the yanks have anything to do with Corfu (if it is still going) is the Pink Palace just down the hill from Spiros' supermarket at Agios Gordios. You could tell where it was by hearing 'American Pie' at loud volume.

That is true Arry, as I well remember from first going out there in 1991, but even so it is still a regular shambles to grin and bear two or three times a year, and it really ought not to be.

San Stefanos news and views / Thomson in flight 'meal'
« on: September 20, 2009, 01:19:21 PM »
I have been travelling with Thomson for more years than I can shake a stick at, and have always had the in flight meal even though it has always seemed dear for what you got. We went through the Aldo Zilli phase- didn't notice much difference there I have to say- but in 2008 things went noticeably downhill in that the prices went up and what you got decreased, on this occasion there was only one thimble of tea or coffee.
   This year at an eye watering £7.50 each even further reductions in what is given. No cheese and biscuit, meals out and back were laughably called 'MASH' but reminded me of Smash, or for those longer in the tooth Pomme. The sausages repeated on me for 24 hours and I do not suffer from indigestion, the starter was awful, and still only one thimble of tea, in my case it had froth on it and looked and tasted like dishwater.
    Thats it for me with their overpriced crap, its a roll or two from now on that we do ourselves so we do not suffer the aftereffects at a great cost.

Bizarre this...due to a near bereavement the local vicar came to see me yesterday and noted my illuminous legs (Thank you mozzies) and stated that he found that wet wipes- the things for wiping your, er, a**e with were very good for calming mozzie bite irritation. I did it and had a peaceful night. So there you have it an answer of the divine sort!!
