Today we will wander around the old city with trips to the open air market and the archeological museum.

The ferry and airplane rides seem to affect my (Nancy's) inner ear in a way that on land, everything continues to move. It is annoying and made hiking up and down rocky hillsides a little extra challenging. Hopefully it will quiet down now that there are nop more ferry rides.

... was magic but the cocktails were dreadful. Kevin’s martini had ouzo in it but the barman refused to do another. Chris’ margharita seemed to be alcohol free and Milly’s Manhattan didn’t taste very good. So we moved to Axos for more drinks – this time excellent, and then to our favourite eating place, Yannis, for dinner. The drinks and food there were superb too and they gave us free cheese pies and raki (as if we needed more booze). Nice.

This campsite is in a wonderful little oasis directly on the beach, in fact surrounded by quiet unspoilt beaches. You can sit at the bar or restaurant and watch the world go by or just listen to the waves crashing on the rocks. When the sun goes down you can retire to the bar after a very tasy meal of moussaka or a wonderful mixed grill with very good prices !! and join the other campers or the locals and be adventurous and take the Raki's or Ouzo's ...

... My iPod decided it had enough and decided it didn't have aenough energy left =( me being rather annoyed since I had fully charged it that same night << (btw I think we are just flying over Garda Lake in Italy!). Took a stroll outside and by the time we ate our salads and I looked on the information board it said that our flight/gate was closing! Now we looked about 12 ...

... br>Si cum in statiune treceam in fiecare zi pe langa un birou pe sticla caruia era gravat “Pascal Homes”. Si cum framantarea interiora si pasiunea pentru real-estate nu mi-au dat pace, am intrat intr-o seara pe la 18.00, atunci cand Kir Paschalis deschidea biroul de dupa-amiaza.

Just finished reading Portraits by Cynthia Freeman. Makes me feel even more grateful for my family. I must be one of the luckiest girls around to have a family who love and support me.

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 around teh bay with here and there a fisher's boat resting in the sea. Seeing all the restaurants we were afraid (well that's not really the right word but you know what I mean) of being hassled by every restaurand emplyee ...

... on it! Six pack mineral water and some fruit juice + two ice creams all for a wapping 26 Euros! There goes our budget! Now wlaking back up, Eve and I had some serious breathing difficulties! At least Eve had enough breath to talk sometimes :p - I was struggling even when simply nodding yes or no *g* We sat down in the shade for a wel needed rest before walking up a small steep path that would take us to ...

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 ;like a holiday so far eventhough it was quite a feet to get here.

Being 'hassled' by taxi drivers as soon as we ...
