Met up with Nikki & family at the airport, great flight, took off & landed early and we all had our cases very quickly. Dropped our bags off at Pipitsa's and went out to help Pedro747 celebrate her birthday. Cracking full english at Crusoes followed by a chill out day lazing on the beach, it's been a beautiful day, very warm but with a cooling breeze, could have lay there forever ! Off to Niko's for our first evening meal then a bit of a stroll, have a look at what's new, watch the sunset and take our seats for the quiz at Crusoes - making sure the Mythos is still ok. pete.

Hi Jackie, no the plane wasn't full. I had an empty seat next to me which meant Pete could come over for a chat. I saw Pete and Yvonne at Theos today and had a nice chat with them. We had our first meal at Opa tonight and have just taken about 2 hours to get to Mistral after saying hello to everyone on the way. Good times, see you on Saturday x

I'm hoping we can get 3 seats between the 2 of us - that'd be bliss!
Saw your pic from the Mitral - getting more excited by the minute! Got one last day at work tomorrow, then i'll be in holiday mode! :-)

Bad start to the quizzing, came joint third & lost the tie-break, i truly believe this is down to not yet drinking enough Mythos Went to the F.G.T. there was Bill, Superpapa,Boydies, Nikki, Mike, Alisha, Tyler and Mellissa from Parsonsgang, Debbie, Steve & yours truly,had a good old natter about all things Roda, The weather stated off cloudy but by the time the meeting was over the sun was out once again. Kath, you will love the new quiz mistress at Crusoes and you could get a job translating her Geordie twang. Siesta time now then off to Roda Park to eat tonight followed by who knows what. pete.

You'll have to get more Mythos down your neck then, Pete! Any excuse, eh? ;D How's Sara & Alex and the kids? Can't wait to see them. In fact, can't wait to see you all! 45 mins left at work, then I'm not back for 3 weeks!!!! Hope you do better in the quiz tonight! Love to Debbie! x x x x

Enjoy Roda Park - Opa! - it's Greek dancing/plate smashing night on a Wednesday if my memory serves me correctly! A very good excuse for taking extra Mythos on board tonight! Enjoy. ;D

Hi Pete, yes I agree - a plentiful intake of Mythos is essential for quizzing purposes. I might need a new job soon - so translating the geordie quiz mistress could be reet up me street! See what I did there?
best wishes, Kath.

Another beautiful day here in Roda & the forecast is for much of the same for the next 10 days. Great meal last night at Roda Park, had the beef stiffado - didn't need the knife. Fancy our chances a bit better in the quiz tonight now that the Mythos levels are starting to rise ;D We are doing the 2 island boat trip tomorrow along with Nikki & co and pedro747, nine of us in total so should be a good day out. I'm starting to get the feeling that i'm being stalked out here, everytime i turn around i see someone i know looking for free riddle info, they should know by now to put their requests on the back of a 20 euro note Not seen Sara & the kids yet Jackie but have told Alex you are coming & he's getting the 69's ready. The new quizmaster is called Dot, she is Emma's mum, you might know her Kath. Shower time now then out to eat - decisions decisions. pete.

Pete, remind me - who is Emma? Is she the girl that was working at Crusoes a couple of years ago?
Keep up the good work exercising your Mythos arm.
best wishes Kath

Hi Kath - surprised you don't know Dot. She has lived here a couple of times, but then returned to the UK. She's here now for good and her daughter Emma works at Oscars. Emma used to work at Maggies with Stacy before Pirates' Bar was born.

Normal service has been resumed, won last nights quiz but have not enjoyed it's fruits yet as we had an early start today for the 2 island cruise trip. The trip got off to a bad start when the driver didn't pick Parsonsgang up,had heated exchange with him cos they were supposed to be picked up 10 minutes after us, he said he had been for them but they weren't there, will try to see Nikki tonight. The day out is not bad, lots of photo opportunities but perhaps too long on Vidos island & not long enough everywhere else, will do a full report with photos when i get home, highlight of the day was the school of about 15 dolphins just off mouse island, the were all around the boat - fantastic sight ! Estrella tonight then down to Alex's to see if last night was a fluke ;D pete.
