July week 4

20-27 July 2014

Scooped Dave up as soon as he finished work on Sunday and put him and all our baggage on Tropi-boat to join Jonathan (Sara's brother) Amanda (their cousin) and two teenagers: Isabella (Jono's daughter) and Oliver (Jono's ex-partner's son) at sea - they were on board a Nisos charter yacht. 

 Jono chilling out in Kioni ...

 ... Dave and Amanda too

 Both boats: 'Captain Jack' from Nisos on the left, Tropi on the right.  We needed a lead-boat flag to help Jono find us in harbour, so we flew the LFC flag which we still had from the Champions League win in 2005.  We were surprised how many people stopped to take photos of the flag!

 Oliver and Isabella posing on Captain Jack

 All aboard for shore leave.  We stayed on board as a thunderstorm was threatening.  Not meant to happen in July!

 A cicada on a telegraph pole in Polis bay - weird looking creature.

 A few too many in Vasilliki and next thing the whole crew have tattoos (henna, of course).  Dave's dragon.

 Jonathan with swallows - the closest the crew on Cap'n Jack could get to a sparrow ('Pirates of the Carribean' reference ...)

 Bella with pretty thumb twirls and swallows on her wrist

 Oliver got an eagle, swallows not visible

 Amanda showing swallows on one wrist, sunburst on another

 ... and I indulged in a little dragon.


 Final day, everyone on our little terrace for tea

 Sunday after work - the cat able to relax now we're home, and the tomatoes flourishing after care from painting-Amanda and Robbie and Sue.
