The long party nights with Tom and Caz now gone and organs semi recovered we took to the lanes on our bikes with Jack and Andrea who have been out here for a couple of weeks. We introduced them to this lovely island and cycling Corfu style.
With quiet roads, sleepy back lanes, tracks that ran out, were worn out or simply under repair, we rode them all. Jack and I had a run to the top of the island up Pantokrator which was a good day out. We met Mrs D and Andrea in Acharavi for coffee after our descent. We all had a good time out on the bikes or in the sea and yes we managed to get Andrea into the water more than once!!
We managed a couple of BBQ's (all doning our anti mozi outfits,) a couple of meals out oh, and Jack gave us a daily nautical lesson (so in addition to DIY and mopping we are now competent sailors, don't think Jack would agree though.)
We had a day with them in Corfu town and had the obligatory gyro and beer lunch - you've just got to do it!! We called in at Gouvia on the way back so Jack could go and pick a boat from the marina but sadly we didn't have a boat trailer. They were here from two weeks and the time as usual seemed to fly by.
With time now running out here for this summer in Corfu we are looking to the journey back to the UK and making sure we have done all we need to do to leave the place for winter. We leave here on the 27th October at the crack of dawn and hope to be in the UK by the end of the week.
We've been sat out this afternoon and it's been glorious, 95 degrees and sunny. All making the leaving here more difficult looking at the UK weather temperatures, brrrrrrrrrrr!!
Well, sign off time again with jobs to do, places to go and people to see - (go to fridge, get drink, go outside to decking and see Mrs D!!) See y'all soon Mr D .............
