Arrived here on Monday after a lovely couple of days in a baking hot Corfu Town.  Immediately chilled out - both from the cool sea breezes and just the fact of being here  Had our usual first evening couple of drinks in the Europa bar and then off to Tolis Grill, where we were greeted with the news that he's now a Dad    So big hugs for him and his mum Soula who, after 3 sons and 3 grandsons, now has a grandaughter to fuss over

 

Last night was Taxidi bar and Nassos.  Mike was as pleased as Malcy to see that the views at Nassos are just as exciting as ever   When we finally staggered home, we were greeted by our little furry friend, who's been part of our holidays in Loggos since 2005.  We hadn't seen her for the first couple of days and I was starting to reconcile myself to the inevitable, so you can imagine how many tears were shed when she finally turned up at our back door, demanding food and lots of strokes.  She's now made herself at home and I don't think she'll be wandering very far afield over the next 3 weeks, so that's probably helped to save Loggos's bird population for a while

 

Off to O Gios tonight to reacquaint ourselves with Angelina & co when I can drag myself off this lounger and into the shower.  Nice to see that little has changed here.  It does seem a bit quieter than usual, but I suppose that's to be expected and thereare still quite a lot of visitors around, so I don't think they're in dire straits yet.  We'll just have to our utmost to help the local economy in the best way we can!

 

More soon - maybe...

 

Hear it is very hot, just right for a dose of the disease.

 

 

Malcy, I'll be glad to give you my opinion on any of the apartments in Loggos.  Did a similar thing a few years ago when we were planning to bring the family out the following year and had a good scout round all the 3 bedroom places we could find.  I think you'd love the servants quarters - so long as you don't want the first 3 weeks in July of course!  Problem is everybody who stays here seems to fall in love with the views and location, so it usually gets booked solid from one year to the next. Where else do you fancy?

 

 

We heard yesterday about the 2nd Paxos triathlon which is taking part next Saturday.  The bike part comes through Loggos, so maybe a photo op or two!

We've put a registration of interest on Villa Martha (sitting at the Roxi Bar looking up at the hill. Martha is at about 11.00 o clock near the top at Dondiatika) We stayed there 3 years ago. Lovely infinity pool and superb view down to Loggos. You walk down the Donkey Steps to Loggos.

So much for trying to save money. I'll be an OAP but you can't take it with you when you pop your cloggs so lets do a villa (and boat) again. Might have to be a tent next time or Devon in the caravan! (wer're off there in September. 2nd outing. Might try to put up the large awning)

I'm glad that Mike is enjoying the view at O Nassos. It is something you can sit back and savour. ...
