Kalimera! 8-)

Flew in from Stansted last night for my usual 2 weeks at the Aquamare. I requested my favourite room, top floor on the end with a 270° view. Happy!

Qué será…

Going up to Costa’s at Gieroskipou tonight.

I’ve really enjoyed Dominic’s videos and photo tours, and been delighted with the developments. Went to see the goddess this morning before getting supplies in Paps. So pleased with her new location.

So, the German forecast was correct, as it started 5.30 PM and it was spectacular viewing from my place with lightnings for 3 hours towards the wind park...

My dog Max is very frightened of Thunder, and of course dogs can hear it before we can..
I spent quite a few hours yesterday on our bed, trying to keep him calm. Sadly it looks like it will be a repeat performance this afternoon :-(

It’s been quite nice today apart from the wind. Explored the coast path round to Lighthouse Beach, pretty impressive.

Enjoyed a great few days since the weather improved. On Saturday we went to Lofou (very pretty) and Agros with its Christmas market, then on to the Symposio in Pelendri for a great meze lunch,

Christmas Eve we went up to Fabrica Hill, and on Christmas Day, after Mass at Ágia Kyriakí, lunch at Muse. My favourite, black linguine langoustines!
