Day 9 - Thursday 17th June 2004

Another day of sitting on the beach, taking in the sun and flicking through the pages of our books. Coachloads of people come and go and we are forever on the lookout for fellow Brits, but rarely are we lucky enough to get them - all we have are Germans with brats.

Debs was feeling 100% by now, so we left the beach fairly early and headed down to the Cheers Bar on the harbous front. Here the clientèle was entirely English and all looking forward to the England v Switzerland game. I apologized in advance to our Makryammos friends who were there in case I got vocal, swore, or caused offence in any way.

Unfortunately, the rest of the English bunch were not as vocally supportive as me and I was frequently shushed by Debs for getting over-excited and critical.

England won 3-0 so everyone was happy, especially me. We moved a couple of doors down to the Italian restaurant where we dined on fried mushrooms and pizza, washed down with rosé and Amstel before staggering through the back streets, getting lost, pausing for Debs to pacify her hiccups, finding our way again and meandering up the steep hill to Makryammos and bed.
