We left last Friday evening for a weeks holiday in Kalami Bay in Corfu. We had a fantastic week together - Kristian, Andrew, Leah and me. We arrived at 4am in the morning and collected our hired car. We decided we would drive to our hotel, even though we knew we could first check in at 2pm that afternoon, at least we would know where it was.
When we arrived at the hotel we happened to bump into the receptionist just as we parked the car. We told him we were just checking out the place as we were booked for a weeks holiday but we knew we could first check in at 2pm.
He was sooo helpful. He said to wait while he checked out what room we had, he then came back and said that the people in our room were leaving at 7am so he would get the cleaning staff in right away and we could have the room by 8.30am!! I was amazed. What great service. The time was about 5am so we still had some time to wait, we went down to the beach and tried to sleep. We didn´t get much sleep but we were able to see the sun rise. It was sooo beautiful.
The hotel was clean, beautifully decorated and the beds were sooo comfortable. It was set in the most beautiful nature and the views from the pool were amazing! This was a special place we had found.
We had a fantastic week there. We relaxed, sun bathed, went swimming, went shopping, ate delicious food, explored the Island, read some good books, and just enjoyed hanging out together. The weather was a little too warm for us though. It was 38 degrees and a few of the days it got up to 40!!! I was dying at times, but we were soooo thankful for air condition in the room and car and the pool was a brilliant way to cool down!
The highlight of the trip was a boat trip we took around the East Coast of the Island. The trip was 5½ hours long. We stopped at different locations and had time to swim, explore different beaches and small towns. It was great to see the Island from the sea instead of just inland.
We had a really wonderful holiday.
When we got home Sara and Christian were here. They were going to Sweden to a motor race and had stopped over here to break up the journey. It was lovely to see them, even though it was only for a short time, they were packing up the car and getting ready to leave when we arrived home.
Now we have only one more week left of holiday before it´s back to every day life again! I can´t complain, this is my fourth week off, and I am now actually ready to get back into every day life again!
