Paradeísi

After hanging a bit on the veranda of the hotel, talking to my new friends eventually the rest of the crew arrived. Some issues to get a taxi for 7 but eventually they did it. You got to know that grabbing a taxi on Kos is an issue during the high season. So better book one 24 prior your appointment.
While they were on their way from the airport to the Hotel, I organised some refreshments waiting for them ice cooled, surrounded by Zizikia :D they do such a loud noise, especially when it is hot. After checkin we went to this nice beach bar called C Food n Mood, next to the Marina of Kos. Obviously not the greatest location on a Friday, when all the charter boats return from their trips, because they would open the waste tanks prior check in to the marina. Better choose the place wisely - we were lucky though :)
Had a couple of drinks there and then decided to stay also for the dinner. The food is, I’d call it modern Greek. So quiet nice. Afterwards, went to the city Center of Kos to get a couple of drinks. Some stayed longer, so some almost missed the check out date and the checkin date for the marina. :D Well, nothing unexpected.
Procedure then as usual, skipper to take over the boat. Well, not as usual, because the agencies insurance did not accept the boat license. It was managed by the agency responsible to be defined as the skipper. So technically we never chartered the boat.
The other group, and that was really as usual, went to get grocery shopping. Here the supermarket offered - and especially because of the taxi issue - a delivery service at no costs. Respect.Read more

Bis die Crew komplett an Bord zusammenkommt dauert es wegen unterschiedlicher Flüge eine Weile. Irgendwann sind dann aber die Einkäufe verstaut und alle haben ein Bierchen in der Hand. Unser im Internet ausgesuchtes Restaurant stellt sich als alter bekannter heraus - hier haben wir schon vor ein paar Jahren gut gegessen.
Es wird ein feuchtfröhlicher Abend und unser Wiedersehen wird gebührend gefeiert.Read more
