Its October tomorrow, Tom and Caz have been and gone and we have some cycling friends here with us now. It's all go you know.
So how was it with T&C? Well we partied ('til 0500hrs one night, 0300hrs other nights.) Swam in the sea, leapt off rocks in the Canal D'Amour, saw Corfu town, Kassiopi, drove up Pantokrator - highest point on the island, had some sun, some cloud and sadly some rain but all in all we all had a great time.
Tom became a gyro monster - gyros are a Greek fast food which is salad, sour cream, chips and either pork or chicken wrapped in pitta bread, they are delicious but Tom took them to extremes and did 3 or 4 one day, what a hog.
We dropped them in Sidari most days and they messed about on the beach, down the Sidari strip and had a daily fix of pedaloes out in the bay. There is a bar in Sidari which we frequent as they have live music every night. We took them in on Wednesday night (we had to make up for the appalling Freddie Mercury tribute we subjected them to the previous night.) Well Wednesday night went well with plate smashing, fire dancing and an excellent band. This turned into the silly long night out. Tom said he would like to see the band again before he left and sadly they were on again in the same bar the following night so we had to go again, more free shots and good music, thankfully not quite as late. Friday was our early doors ritual at Neil and Laura's Internet cafe then on to the pallet arms for some weekly abuse from the staff and some good wholesome food. Saturday we were all wrecked after the three previous nights so a night in front of the box with a movie was had. Sunday night Tom managed to get us back into Napoleons 1 for the road bar again claiming it was their last big night out and that's where he wanted to be, so more dancing and Tomfoolery - sorry Tom...
Their last day, Monday, was spent on the beach on Sidari, in pedaloes and leaping from the rocks into the sea at Canal D'amour - see videos below. We ate out Monday night before an early night due to getting up the following morning at 0300hrs to get them to the airport. They seemed to have a great time and enjoyed what Sidari had to offer and we enjoyed having them here. Now they've gone our organs can have a rest and rebuild themselves - what it is to be young - we wish!!!
Well I'd best get some shut eye now as I am cycling to the top of Pantokrator with Jack tomorrow at 0900hrs. Mrs D is having a leisurely drive into Acharavi with Andrea where we hope to meet them at lunchtime after our ride. Mrs D is also suffering with a severe cold given to her by me for which I am extremely popular - I think she is sleeping now........
More on our cycling antics next time.
Finally, October tomorrow the month we set off back to the UK after a truly memorable summer out here so, looking forward to seeing y'all soon!!!!
