Goodbyes

August 30th, 2011 No comments

the last night before we left Corfu, we had out favourite table booked for dinner. i of course had a greek salad and we all enjoyed the wine and the view for the last night there.

we had to leave the villa on the last day in the morning, so we spent the day soaking up the last bits of the sun and enjoying big cold beers ;)

one thing i DO NOT miss from Greece are all the damn wasps! they attacked whenever you had a drink, or food, or even just existed near them. the incense helped to keep them away for a bit, but when it burnt out they came back immediately!

a truly relaxing trip with some great weather, it’s a shame my tan is already starting to disappear!

Boat trip

August 28th, 2011 No comments

Simon was well keen on renting a little ‘fishing’ boat for a day when we were in Greece. so one morning we all got up really early and went down to the Nissaki pier and rented one.
looking back at the pictures now, i want to be back in Greece. it was so nice just reading a book and cruising around on the waters..

whenever we found little coves we decided to stop in and see what the waters were like, and some were nicer than others.

scuba simon was in the water at every stop we made.

then we found a cove that had a stone beach, and the water was clear as anything! never mind that the water was actually warm as well.

thought i had died and gone to heaven, Simon however had to deal with the boat ;)

then as we were heading back to the pier to return the boat, we spotted some dolphins! there were about 6 of them, however a bit hard to capture on camera.

thought it was a pretty good ending to a pretty good day out and about on the water!

One night..

Just some more pictures from one of the nights in Corfu. We found our favourite restaurant by the water, which had delicious Greek salads, and then we moved on to the pool table and bar most nights. I played well until i had too many drinks..

Day 2

Here are some more pictures from the trip, (there’s even more to come!). Two from before we went out to dinner, one of me swimming in our private pool, and a picture from the beautiful Nissaki beach, small as it was.

Bikini times

June 8th, 2011 1 comment

went to oxford street with simon yesterday to look for a new bikini. convinced myself that if i had a new one that looked good on i would stop freaking out about my ‘beach body’.

found two at river island..

i like the pink one with rhinestones on it the best cause it’s a really nice color in real life, and the bikini bottoms fit really well in the front. however my lack of bottom is a continous problem when it comes to bikinis. the second one is okay, i tried on the purple one and didn’t love it. but i saw a girl trying it on in pink and she was really tan, and it looked fabulous. plus the flowers give the illusion of bigger boobies.

Tulum

ancient mayan ruins

took a bus out to Tulum one day in Mexico as well. Some ancient Mayan ruins there, pretty cool although we didn’t get much information about it. Plus you can’t touch them or anything like that. However the beach there, is meant to be the third prettiest beach in the world? i wouldn’t doubt it, gorgeous!

beautiful Caribbean sea

One night out in Mexico

January 2nd, 2011 No comments

went out for some drinks one night this past week. ended up at a beach club, dancing in high heels in sand is an art! but we had a really good time, some more than others. had to have at least one shot of tequila before leaving mexico.. 1 tequila, 2 tequila, 3 tequila.. floor.

Cozumel

January 2nd, 2011 No comments

took the boat over to cozumel from playa del carmen one day. shame we didn’t head out earlier, didn’t get as much time on the island as i would’ve liked.

rented scooters and drove to the beach. after some seriously good food and snorkelling we had to head back again. let me just say that the boat made me rather sea sick, not to pleasant.

Woke up in heaven
