Hello Jimbo
I hope you are keeping well. I've just finished Almond and The Deep Blue Sea - I thoroughly enjoyed it. Great entertainment and brought back many memories. I laughed lots of times reading it, especially when the waiter said, "chips or roast potatos"
All the best

Spiros and his partner told us in July it was a tough summer. A shame, but best to get out and stop losing money.

Sounds like you had a great holiday, we loved our walk to Afionas in July. Lovely and hot back then 😂

Lots of hard work been done to make it so beautiful, especially up near Mango bar, our favourite spot.

Got to agree with you Winkie. Can still remember being amazed at the difference in July.

Reading the above has reminded me that there are two sides to every story.

My mum always told me there are three sides....... ie the truth, which is usually somewhere in the middle, lol  ;)!!

In case you hadn't noticed, the pound hit a 28 month low today. TravelFX's cash rate is 1.0844.

No comment.

Just wondering how the new recycling scheme (mentioned on this thread a few months ago) is working out? Does each hotel & self-catering property have it's own collection point, or do holidaymakers have to take their own empty bottles, etc down to the central point in the village?

Behind each set of sun-loungers on the beach, there were different bins for the different type of refuse. We stayed at Nondas and din't have any facility for splitting up the rubbish.

There's a scent of lamb on charcoal and oregano, wafting past in the almost-still air as the village gears up for the evening's munch-fest.

That is a perfect, happy description, Jimbo. It makes me almost forget I’m back at work. Hope you and Gillie have a great last week  8)

After 10 days in July, I converted from Mythos to Corfu Royal Ionian Pilsner.

However, I would suggest there are no bad ones, just better ones  :)

it was lovely to see Vasillis after several years

I assume Gillie quivered for a few seconds after all these years. I know Mhairi did.....made me feel slightly helpless, lol  ;D

Where to eat out in San Stefanos? / Beer O’Clock
« on: July 24, 2019, 01:44:36 AM »
We ate at all the old favourites this year. Beer O’Clock was another new one we tried which wasn’t there when we last visited.

The food was brilliant and what we like about it was that it was a real good mix of casual dining, burgers, fish and chips, as well other dishes such as steak a la creme.

We found the owners Spiros and Zoe to be exceptionally friendly. Also, their son to be particularly attentive, as well as am aspiring boxer!

Great diner / pub and we vaguely remember polishing off a few glasses of the Metaxa 5 on our last night,  ;D

They built a decking area a few years back with sofa chairs and also since the Olympia Villa has been refrurbished a new beautiful stone wall below has been added.......

Thank you. It looks brilliant now.

Help me with my memory.....we ate here last Sunday, it was lovely, but we thought the front of the building and the outside area at the back was refurbished in recent years since we were here last in 2011. Is our memory playing tricks or has it changed? ???
