Greek Holiday

Well I am back! Hope you didn't miss me too much? Greece in one word is hot! So hot!!

When we got their on the Friday it was really early in the morning about 3am, so we just got into our apartment and went to bed until 1pm but with Greece's 2 hours ahead thing, our bodies thought it was 11am. So once we got up and dressed went to the bar across from us and had a couple of drinks waiting for the rep who didn't turned up!

Husband and me were so hungry as we haven't eaten for 24 hours and we didn't know where to go plus it was raining! Managed to get a cab into the town centre only to find the car hire company had moved and we didn't know where it was! Wandering around Kos in the rain was not enjoyable, we did find the car hire place in the end, it was about 30 minutes away from where the cab dropped off. We were at the car hire place only to find that it was shut, in Greece shops shut between 2pm and 5/6pm.

So we are hungry, wet and no place will serve us food until 5pm, managed to find a little cafe where we had club sandwich and burgers with garlic bread, soooo good! Not the best but when you are as hungry as we were I would of eaten anything.

Got the car, drove to super market brought a few bits and went back to the apartments only to see there was a super market about 2/3 minutes walk from where we were staying! Anyway the husband went to sleep and got up at 9pm, we had jam sandwiches and chatted on our balcony.

Saturday I managed to go to the super market up the road and buy some croissants and other bits for the room while the husband was still asleep, these croissants were huge! Like the size of a dinner plate!! Crazy and really cheap, we had orange juice and croissants for breakfast, yum yum!

Also over night we had a huge topical thunderstorm, lighting, thunder and loads of rain, it had cleared up on Saturday though :)

We took our white hire car into Kos Town centre, we went and looked at all the ruins and the habour. Brought some postcards and wrote them :) Rest of the evening we sat on the balcony and drank our lovely vodka and coke.

Sunday, I was very proud of myself because it in that tiny kitchen I made fried egg and fried bread for the husband which he enjoyed lots! After we had breakfast we went for a random drive up the mountains and took so amazing pictures!!!

In the evening we went into Kos Town again, oh I forgot to say there are cats everywhere in Kos, just wandering around, we must of seen about 50 in our trip! Went to a great cafe right on the sea with views to turkey, had pizza and spag bol!

Monday, back into Kos Town to look around the shops, we also got to go a little train ride which takes you around the whole of kos town and went to McDonalds! After that we found a boat that did sunset cruises for 20 euros each which included a cocktail and buffet.

The boat had to be the best bit of our trip, it was amazing to go around the island, and so romantic :) Plus husband could eat the buffet of cold pizza, cheese and ham.

Tuesday, we went back into Kos Town, and went around the castle, it was so hot I thought I was melting!!! Then wandered around the shops and home.

Wednesday, we went back again to Kos Town and brought some more bits, went to dinner at a lovely cafe, husband had pizza and I had a salad really good!!

Thursday, we packed everything up, managed to keep our room passed midday which was good as the husband didn't have a good night sleep and ended up sleeping until 3pm, he went back to drop off the car and I wrote most of this blog entry.

Got to the airport the bus/coach was late, urgh, the airport was really busy because of delayed flights, was worried that our one was going to be delayed but lucky for us it wasn't! Got home at about 6am to fleas.... Had to get flea treatment stuff from the vets, de-flea the house and get the kittens.

It is now 8pm and I haven't slept for over 24 hours... urgh gonna go to bed soon....
