Our sporting weekend

It's time for another walk up heartbreak hill on Spartakhori.  It's worth the walk as the view is spectacular.  We head up about 8.30am and its really hot already.
The Ionian sea is calm and glassy.

Once we return to our yacht we pick up anchor as are heading back to Nidri. I'm hoping to get back in time so I can have a hair cut before the Lions match as It  feels like straw from all the sun.  We get a position on the main wharf and I'm lucky enough to walk straight into the hairdressers for a quick wash cut and blow dry.  God that feels good.  Now a quick coffee and shower and we are back to Devine Bar for the Rugby test.

God the bar staff have been up all night and are already into the Jagger bombs, I wonder if they will last the day.  It's a great afternoon but sadly for the Wallaby's not their day, the Lions deserve to win on the day and by now we are all on the Jagger bombs.  God help us tomorrow!  We have a quick catch up with Belinda who is in Miami for the July 4th holidays and then attempt to watch the F 1 qualifying.  Not much watching goes on.  It's party central at Devine and everyone is having a ball.

Greg and I head back to the yacht and have a swim and a lie down, then it's off for a yummy wood fired pizza for dinner with loads of chilli, it's really good and just what we need.

We are up and away early on the Sunday as we have a little sail plan but don't tell the wind.  We are heading down south to Fiscardo on the Island of Cephalonica with a chance of sailing around the Island Zakinthos so fingers crossed with the wind.  The trip will take about five days if all goes to plan.  I promise Greg I will find a Bar showing the F1 in English this time; and luckily I get a bar to stream it,  unfortunately we have competition with Wimbledon on at 4pm and most of the bars are showing this.
We head out about 9pm for dinner and start with an Ouzo and wow the appetiser  that comes with it must win the prize for the most perfect plate.
It's really delicious and almost a meal in itself.
We settle for a pork shish with salad for dinner; something tasty and light.
