Next stop is Meganissi

We all pass out around midnight and awake with no hangover so grateful of that.  The mechanic is due to bring the engine back at 8.45 and he is on time which is great.  It's now all working again and Greg can rest easy.

We are heading to another favouite anchorage called Abelike Bay or Pirates Cove.  We are SOO lucky we get a great spot up close to Ouza Bay.  We tie up to a rock and secure the yacht.  It's now party time.

We swim, drink bubbles and play our music loud as we soak up the rays.  It's a perfect day.  Around 4pm we paddle over to the beach as we have packed our glasses, ice and Ouzo ready for the afternoon.  We can't stop  laughing as the Ouzo takes effect. We float on our mats and enjoy being feed twisties by Belinda.


It's a big afternoon and once the Ouzo has run out Belinda and I paddle the boys back to the yacht. 
We want to have dinner in at Little Vathi and Greg suggests we go via Kokoda Trail, which is a trail from the  beach that doesn't really exist.  I manage to fall out of the dingy twice and Im covered in a lovely clay like mess.  After half an hour of walking like crabs  up the hill we abort the adventure and head back to the yacht.  I don't know how but Belinda and Robert prepare a delicious meal of figs with halomui, cold cuts and bread. It's yummo and then we crash out!

We all have a great nights sleep and are amazed that we don't have hangovers, can't work that one out!
We start the morning with a refreshing swim and coffee, fruit salad and Greek yoghurt and honey, it makes us all feel fabulous!
We then jump in the tender and row ashore to walk into the town of Little Vathi.  It's a small heartbreak hill as we pass the olive groves and fig trees.

We purchase some bread and then head for the Boom Boom Bar for some lunch and refreshments.  We are all SOO relaxed it's wonderful.
We had planned to depart for another bay on Meganissi but are happy to stay where we are for another night.  Everyone is chilled out and so excited to be here.   We stroll around the harbour and soak it all in.




After a few lazy hours we head back to the yacht.  I'm keen to watch the F1 qualifying so Robert and I stay on shore and go to the local Taverna there called Minos.  They are very accommodating as the bring their home TV down for us to use.  One of the local pussys snuggle up to Rob for the afternoon.


Greg rows Belinda back and returns to watch qually.  After a while they loose power so we head back to the yacht.  We have a swim and Belinda prepare fresh figs with blue chees and prosciutto, baked in the oven for our starter, wow so delicious.

I make a basic tomato based spaghetti which is all pretty yummy, with fresh bread and wash it down with a local red wine.  By midnight we are all ready to retire.
