The water was so clear and blue and lots of fishes. Then up the hill through extremely narrow lanes for a coffee with views.

  • Kephalonia

    June 23, 2025 in Greece ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C

    I had not realised what a large island this was.
    Carol and I headed to Madrid Gialos beach for a morning of R&R. It was lovely just to swim and sunbathe although the sea was colder than I expected!!
    We were later back so chilled on the deck. At night I took Mum to see Phil Hitchcock a magician, he was amazing.

  • Taormina, Sicily

    June 25, 2025 in Italy ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C

    Final outing of this cruise was to Taormina. It was an amazing trip down the coast, a bit like the Almafi coast. Mount Etna was always visible gently smoking. A lift and a few steep slopes saw us in the cliff top town. The guide helped Carol push Anne up the steepest ones. Beautiful. Views every where you looked. We stopped outside the Greco Roman theatre for a Canolo and iced latte! There was not time to try the ice cream or Arancini!!Read more

    It has been a lovely trip, even though Carol has not been well and Ann has been in a wheelchair to get around. The food and staff were excellent. The buffet is a little cramped but the shows were also great. Thank you Azura xRead more
