At last, seems like forever waiting for this trip to come around. The winter just dragged on and despite the supposedly driest warmest spring or whatever it hasn't felt like it, not to us anyway living on the Suffolk coast with a fairly constant North Easterly blowing up the nether regions! Anyway finishing the packing this morning then 2 hour drive down to Stansted this afternoon to our park and stay hotel ready for a 4am transfer tomorrow. Forecast is looking good and I can almost taste the ice cold Mythos😄🍻

Our Stansted hotel wasn't the best but I suppose it done it's job and we transferred to the airport at about 04.30, sailed through all the usual stuff and took off about 20 minutes late but landed 15 minutes early. 28 degrees and quite humid, dumped the wife and cases in a taxi while I picked our quad up and rode up to Fengeros Village just in time for an ice cold Mythos!!

Quick catchup of our first few days. Sunday we rode down through the pine forest to Mandraki Ellias beach, sunbeds and brolly €13, fairly busy but not packed in, seems like a bit more space between beds. Lunch in the lovely little beach taverna/shack sitting under the palm leaf shades, prices here are good, fried small fish with salad €10, chicken Souvlaki with proper chips €12, cold draft beer €5. Town for the last 2 nights, ending in Totem Sunday and Blind dog last night, love the music in both these and a good vibe to. By the way it's really hot and humid been over 30 so far with a heatwave approaching, Aircon is a must! This morning we rode over to Ligaries beach, it got hit quite bad in last September's storm and when we spoke to the lad from the taverna he said they lost all their beds and parasols which they've replaced with brand new ones,€12 for 2 and brolly. We were talking to him about the damage in the town and he said that years ago Papp' Street was actually a stream and the flood route to the sea so that's why the street was badly hit. His grandmother can remember when there were little bridges over the stream, can't imagine that now! Oh well time to get ready for another town visit, Yammas!

Yes Balddave I'm a biker and used to much faster stuff, we take it very easy and pull over and let faster traffic past.
