Having a pool is brat!

Moving day once again, though not too far as we are staying on the same island, just moving to a different villa. All we can hope is that we rediscover our joie de Greek with a fresh start. We packed up from where we had been staying and set off, but we had a couple of hours to kill until we could get into our next place so we decided to take a short leisurely drive around the island. Instead of going coastal we started off by heading inland, which meant driving up some steep hills. After a bit we came to an impressive panoramic viewpoint so we jumped out of the car and took a few selfies. There was a little sign for a cafe and we thought to ourselves that cake and a drink sounded like a good idea to kill some time so headed a little further on, parked up in front of the thickest tree I think I have ever seen, and in we went. There was a spectacular view from the cafe as well, unsurprisingly since we had only gone about 200 metres down the road. Some milkshakes and my new favourite, a freddo capuccino, which is a cold coffee, chasing down a couple of tasty cakes, and we considered that some time well spent.
We drove on, eventually going coastal, the island is not that big so it can’t be avoided for long. We drove a bit, then turned around and stopped at a supermarket to pick up some supplies and then headed to our accommodation. It was a bit different from our last one, there’s a pool for a start. The pool has one of those devices that creates a current you can swim against, so Jess spent about 30 minutes or more in her own little world. I just spent the time cooling off. After a while of cooling off we all started feeling a bit hungry and we thought to ourselves that a cake and a drink sounded like a good idea to kill some time. So we headed across the road to the beach and walked along looking for somewhere to meet our requirements. We eventually found a resort and walked up there, the girls were a little concerned that we were going to be asked to leave, or even worse, physically ejected. We explained to them that the colour of our money was just as good as anyone else’s . Do some milkshakes and my new favourite, a cold draft beer, chasing down some tasty cake and we all considered that some time well spent.
The rest of the afternoon was spent just taking it easy around the pool, it was nice not feeling like we needed to do anything. A very unchallenging pasta salad for dinner, some beer and ouzo to wash it all down, and some Olympic on the telly, made for a relaxing evening to wrap up a fairly relaxing day. And only 3 sleeps to go.Læs mere
