Ok. We're here, its bloody hot and this is a super quick update

 

OK so this is a super speedy update as now on a contract net dongle and only got 10GB to use before I pay extra, is 10GB allot? Crap with stuff like that.

 

So left Carmarthen on 25/4/13, It was low fog, rain, grey and cold. got to Gatwick at 3pm and it was glorious sunshine and t-shirt weather. Went to Travelodge Gatwick Central to stay the night, found out I had booked Travelodge Gatwick North by mistake, DOH! Got to North and went for a walk. Glad I had booked that by mistake as found a lovely pub very close built inside a really old manor house it was called "Gatwick Manor". Sat in beer garden, ate a fresh fish platter with a pint and couldn't have wished for a better start to our travels.

 

The Gatwick Manor, you got to try it, loved it.

 

4am and got to Gatwick just in time for VIP lounge to open, WOW! It was the best VIP lounge I've been in so far. Pool table on entrance, modern décor, a cinema plus the added bonus of free grub and booze. Helen had a bowl of fruit and a Bacardi and coke for breakfast, I was very British and had Muesli with a cup of tea.

The entrance to lounge.

 

The main Lounge area. 

Ah, Mr. Bond, I've been expecting you! LOL

 Landed on Zakynthos at 11.20am on Friday, phew, SCORCHIO! Thasos picked us up and dropped us at our new home. Spent all day there cleaning, painting and cutting the jungle of a garden back. Its almost finished but much better than it was.
Across the way from where we live is Bochali so walked across and sat having our first Mythos of the year and looking out over town in 27deg heat. Bliss! Think living so close to here could turn me in to a coffeeholic ha ha.

The next 2 days were spent cleaning and painting the bar but no electric so we did as much as we could until Monday when electric was put back on.

Monday was a bit crazy, music licence, tax returns for the year, electric office, stock supplier, DIY store, shopping, AAGGGHH! I need more hours and hands. Helen has been an absolute star, she has worked wonders getting the bar ready. Usually I'm in there from 7.30am till midnight till I open but she has done so much. Then again so she should, she's the wife now so she does as I say LOL.

Got home that night and were just in time to watch our first sunset through "Gods Window", didn't get the peace and quiet or views when I was in Kalamaki. So nice here I don't want to go to work ha ha.

The view of the sunset from our patio area, think I may start a bus tour here with a free coffee, who needs Kampi.

Popped up to see my good friend George and to make sure he was OK after the tornado that hit his taverna called "Kanalos". I'm am pleased to say all his family are well and the tavern is back in fully working order after it rolling down the hill through the tornado, well done George.

So that's about it for now, Opened on time, bar fully stocked and everything working fine, Helen has a moped (watch out Zakynthos roads), highest temp so far 27deg, lowest 22deg, night times are quite pleasant also, Island resorts not fully open yet as think they are all waiting till after Easter to open up, looking forward to the season and this year just kicking back and enjoying it, as always LOL.

See you all soon my lovely blog followers, until next week.

Serve All, Love All, Peace All. Kevlar Out!
