... we have little choice in the matter as that price is about as low as you can find here. Our first night we walked to Agia Pelagia which is 1.5 Km from us down hill. Everything here is either up hill or down hill and the hills are steep! ...

Our 7-days of all-inclusive chilling out briefly halted when we arrived in Crete because the maintenance staff told us that the hotel was closed and only opened on Monday.... great! After a few phone calls and re-checking our booking confirmation we were ...

Today was no more taxing than the past four, and the R&R has done us all the world of good. We again ventured out of our room at about 11am to a day which felt a lot hotter due to the lack of wind. We headed to the main beach and all had a swim to ...

... leper colonies in Europe. The last inhabitant, a priest, left the island in 1962. We caught the 12.30pm (ish – we are in Greece after all) boat and the trip across to the island took about 20 minutes. There is very little shade on the island and it ...

I wonder if any holiday ever feels long enough. Here we are fast approaching our 100-day mark and all of us feel that the end of our trip is coming up too fast. Particularly me I suppose, as the thought of getting home and looking for a new job is not ...

Up at 3am. Taxi arrived 4am and took us to Victoria Station where we caught the 4.30am Gatwick Express. When we arrived at the airport we found a stupidly long queue to check in for Easyjet. It moved fairly fast but we still spent about 45 mins before we ...

The girl's usual breakfast at home is baked beans on toast, so you can imagine their delight when we found Heinz baked beans in the supermarket here – clearly due to the English tourist influence. So their day was started for the first time in ...

*SIGH* what an excellent nights sleep, a good 12 hours! The sun was shining and the sky was clear blue so it was straight into swimmers and down to the pool as we had missed brekky (oops!). The sun was HOT, it was so nice to be lying, relaxing and ...

This time we were up and at 'em as we didn't want to miss brekky. It was all the usual offenders plus yummy Greek yoghurt and honey. Although we were to check out today we still had time though for round two of the Aussie vs Saffa Tennis Tournament, Mum ...

More difficult then we thought

It's a lot more work then we expected to find accomodation and how and where to travel to. Sitting at an internet caf� for the last two hours in search of a cheap place to stay at. (under ...

Mark & Ave Maria

A travel blog entry by belphoebe

Somehow wherever I am on holiday I think about Mark. Perhaps it's because you notice couples holding hands on the beach or it's just part of the holiday romance feeling, especially now that I am listening to Ave Maria on my iPod - the song I want to be ...

Life is Good

Sitting on Lagaria beach makes me feel so lucky to be able to enjoy this. Surrounded by high rocks dotted with white houses. The sun who kisses everything it touches and the gentle coming and going of the waves. Life is good =) ...

A travel blog entry by belphoebe

Went out to dinner last night. Nicky & Graham had given us a lovely card which us a great trip and �40! for us to spend so that we at least are able to go to dinner once - so that's what we did. We walked down to town. It's a pretty place build ...

The sun going down over the moutains, the soft hush of the air conditioning, a beautiful view over Agia Pelagia and kittens playing under the olive trees. We arrived at our villa. We are still wet from the swimmingpool and smell of chlorine. It is more ...

It's been hot! Walked down to Lagaria beach this morning and even at 10 am the sun was phew! We wanted to find a supermarket for some breakfast and perhaps dinner. Lagaria beach is very picturesque. The sea looked so inviting! Why oh why didn't we wear ...
