It was a credible rumour based on memos flying around inside NASA, and its now been confirmed.

Still, you are correct. Just getting away from this cold is cause for celebration.

PS - May give the airline a call and see if they'll change the return flights without charging me a fortune. Doubt it, but maybe worth a shot given it's the easter weekend. Ironically I changed the flights from 4th to 1st for other reasons - landing at the same time the shuttle went up really would have been gutting.

all this is irrelevant because of 2 things, Lindos is a 5 Euro taxi ride and is full of fantastic bars

and then there is Eclipse in Pefkos, this is one of the best bars I have been to anywhere

It has a standard bar/disco upstairs but then head out the back and they have a open pool area with great sunbeds and sofas ( all this is open all night ) behind the pool is a man made acapulco stye cliffs that folks dive off at night ( they have lifeguards )

only downside is the bar is often getting closed by the authorities for misdemenours

Ooooh, like the sound of that! Also think we are staying at the Pefki Islands Resort

That accomodation is fine, Pefkos is a quiet place with a great relaxed atmosphere, the beach is wide long but narrow but I never really used it

Location is never a problem in Pefkos as it is a small place ( there are a couple of hills )

Last time I checked, it was rated number 1 on Trip Advisor! Thats good enough for us

Grandad · 17-02-2010, 11:22

sounds good then

I assume hotel in NY was good ?

Dee · 17-02-2010, 12:52

Oh we loved it! Fab view of the street, loads of space! We had a sofa that was barely used cos our cases were thrown on there on day one and never got shifted

I have never, NEVER slept in such a comfortable bed. Was more sorry about leaving that behind! We even had a card and a birthday cake waiting for us when we checked in! The staff there couldnt do enough for you, we soon became mates with Donald the doorman, he was such a nice guy

We went to the Social bar, that was brill, and the food was lush! We had breakfast in the Olympic Diner most days

Grandad · 17-02-2010, 13:00

Only went to Olympic diner once, prob cos I was ****ed off after I left a tip and then realised they already sneaked a service charge in without telling you

The doorman ? was that the black guy ? if so then yes he was great

Dee · 17-02-2010, 13:25

All the doormen were black

But you couldnt really miss him, he was the friendly one

We came back from TotR, and I told him the proposal story, everyone soon gathered round congratulating us, he was dead chuffed
