Just a quick check in while Debbie is in the shower. Great flight down with Easyjet, on time & some great views of the island as we came into land. Just a pity about the hard faced pig ignorant woman who barged to the front of the very orderly queue at the gate - you know who you are if you read this! - needless to say she got both barrels. Arrived in the village about 13:00hrs, quickly unpacked then a stroll around to see who was about - took us nearly an hour to get to Crusoes. Off to Niko's for our evening meal then off to see the Festival. Just for all of you in sunny England - boy is it hot here ! pete.

A lovely meal at Niko's last night after which we strolled around the festival sight, another good turn out & the activities kicked off properly with a march through the village by the local youth band who looked great in their red uniforms, especially Andreas from Niko's who was playing the tuba. The boats were a brilliant sight and there was lots of dancing to the singers amid the smell of spit roast lamb & souvlaki. The finale was a great firework display by which time we were busy winning the quiz at Crusoes and watching Greece win the football - bit of deja vu maybe ? The sun is blazing down already so it's off for that free breakfast followed by a lazy day on the beach. pete.

Good morning from a glouriously sunny Corfu, there's not a cloud in the sky which is a shade of blue we just don't get back in the U.K. I thought the village was going to be really quiet this year but so far it's the complete opposite, every table was taken in Roda Park last night where the sea bass was excellent but the service is still dodgy ! Had a pint with Bill & his good lady, Bill says the Afroditi is full & nearly all the sunbeds on the beach were taken yesterday, the beach is spotless & seems to be a lot wider this year - perhaps it's Steve's groyne that's causing it. We were beaten into 2nd place in the quiz last night by Kath & Rob & swapped the cocktails for 2 pints of Mythos so no complaints there. There are lots of familiar faces here once again & I spoke to a first timer who can't wait to book for next year - what is it about this place ? Right then, off for breakfast then down to the beach for another lazy day soaking up the sun - it's a hard job but someone's got to do it. pete.

You're right, Roda's beach is fantastic this year. The bit in front of the Aphroditi Hotel especially is wide and sandy this year
