San Stefanos Online ~ North West Corfu

Yes, postponed under advice and having watched the white-tipped rolling waves constantly coming in the past couple of days, I'm quite happy.
Went for a nice stroll along the beach  as far as we could. One plus point about this wind is that the air is incredibly clear. I can't recall ever being able to see the mountain range of Albania (sorry don't know the name) so vividly.
Saw the turtle egg nesting site. Hopefully, this will be a successful batch.
Busy beach for the weekend. Kite surfers are taking full advantage of the wind.
Sunset for last couple of nights has splashed red and orange hues across the horizon.
Friends came in from Exeter on Friday night and were through passport control in about ten minutes, so hopefully our experience was not the usual.
For those that have asked elsewhere, there are now 4 ATM's. Thomas Bay, Tasty Corner, the old San Stefanos Travel office and just past the Little Prince. I don't use them, so can't vouch for the reliability.
Advertised exchange rate is 1.10 this afternoon
Off to Barras tonight for the Greek night.

Came back to the beach yesterday afternoon. The new bridge is a sturdy structure which won't be swept away by storms any time soon. Although, a storm is probably needed to refresh the stream. The bridge spans what is mostly stagnant water (earlier we looked for terrapins further upstream but couldn't bear the smell).
The light breeze earlier in the day had grown much stronger turning the millpond that I saw first thing into choppy waters. Wave after white-topped waves were rolling ashore. Great for body boarding.
Popped into the new San Stefanos Travel office. Very nice. Booked a couple of trips for later.
Usual pre dinner cocktail at 3W' s. Margarita asked where we were going to eat. Conversation went along the lines of;

Me: Not sure, but I know it will be good.
Margarita: True, all the restaurants are good. People ask me where is a good place to eat and I can't honestly say anywhere is better than anywhere else.

In all the holidays that we have had here, I cannot think of a meal that we have not enjoyed. With that in mind, we decided to try the new Mythos restaurant. Not disappointed. The service was friendly and we didn't have to wait long for our food. The Lamb on Spit simply fell off the bone. Our other dishes were equally rewarding.
Bars were busy with people watching the football.

Today has started with a cooling breeze and a clear sky.

Arrived yesterday on jet2. Good flight. Very slow through passport control - probably going to be the norm, with a no-deal brexit. Taxi waiting to take us to Jasmine Apartments. Warm welcome from Spiros and Margarita. We couldn't make last year due to family commitments, but seeing friends from prior years meant the gap didn't matter. It was like we'd never been away. Kids were soon in the pool while a late lunch was prepared for us. (One of the best tuna salads I've had here).
One of our friends was saying that this was the hottest it has been this year and it certainly feels it.
A stroll into the village to have what has become our traditional first night meal at Little Prince. The kids always say the holiday really starts when the Greek dancing and plate smashing starts. Good food and service as always.
Picked up a few bits from supermarket before heading back for bed. It's been a long day.
Today is a relaxing do nothing recovery day. Kids asleep until 10.30 - still on Uk time, I guess. It's another hot one.

Great ideas!  Do they charge per item or by weight?

It may help OH cut down on what she takes. (Who am I kidding)

So last night during another thunderstorm, heavy rain and some hailstones again too I Googled average rainfall  - In Manchester its 810 mm

Unfortunately, it feels like that's the monthly average.

Always here, reading and watching.

14 days. At what stage is it etiquette to start counting down the hours?
