So now your plane is passing over Germany, approaching Austria at 37,000 feet, 558mph. Soon be here, in less than an hour and a half, with no weather problems here, so easy landing.

Have a great time Di, hopefully the weather will settle. REports on TA that it's been a bit mixed recently. Still better than being at home even if they are expecting on-court temps to nudge 40C at Wimbledon today!

Di. Don't forget to wear a carnation and carry a rolled up copy of the Times, if you go to the Bourtzi, so that Dennis and Vera can spot you! Did you manage to sort Zak out?

Hey, is that Morfia at the back of Ratatouille in Troulos, just 50 yards up the road from our Villa Maria?
We waved from the new harbour as your plane came in Di, did you see us? I was in my Mosquitos T-Shirt so you could recognise me. Tomorrow's our last day, so we'll see you on the beach at 8am - wear your full size Wickes tarp - we'll be in cozzies, swimming in the sea (the ONLY couple swimming in the sea if the last fortnight is anything to go by).

Yes I spoke to Zac who is a lovely boy, credit to his Mum.. Lovely first day, Dennis we passed you and Vera as you were walking back to V Maria but couldnt stop the car as a car was too close behind us. Yes staying in apartments attached to Ratatouille.. Chilling in their bar now after an amazing experience on all levels at Olive Land..  ? |

Di, Oliveland, as was, it a really exceptional place to eat. The views are just remarkable. |

Di, we'll be swimming at Troulos beach first thing, then back at Villa Maria until 10am or so. After that we'll be off into town so you won't be able to stop your car near us. We expect to pool swim here mid afternoon, getting Vera's final tan in order and eating in Vareli early evening, say 6:30pm.
If we don't meet in that short time, have a lovely holiday and tell us all about it please.

Hi Dennis... what number rooms are the top floor ones at Villa Maria... is it worthwhile emailing Maria nearer the time to request one of them?... always prefer a high floor if we can get one... really looking forward to staying there next year.. |

Villa Maria has 16 rooms on three floors. We stay on the ground floor, rooms 1 to 4, and 14, with 15 and 16 separate from the main building - not an annexe, just the other side 20 feet away. Funny, some people hate rooms 15 and 16, some wouldn't stay in any other.
I'm guessing first floor has rooms 5-9 and top floor rooms 10-13. But I can't be sure - remind me when we are there in 42 days, 14 hours and 17 minutes and I'll get the absolute accurate details for you.
E-mail might work, but will always depend on how the change-overs are affecting occupancy - this last June we had hoped for room 1 or 14 and ended in room 3 (and were extremely happy with it). We have been promised room 4 for our next stay in just over 42 days. We don't fancy top floor, too much sun, but sunsets are a bonus - south facing - and I like "room service" getting burger and beer delivered from the pool bar over our balcony rail downstairs!
