Inspired by your query Mr. W. I spent the day in BB yesterday, starting with a 3 hour swim and sunbathe at the spa, followed by lying in the park listening to the orchestra (free) and then topping off with a nice dinner in the sun at a wee Italian restaurant. Was fantastic way to spend the last day of my hols, no booze and I read an entire book - Dominic Faulkner's The Longest Climb, clycling from the Dead Sea and then climbing Everest :shock:

That sounds just like my sort of day out, unfortunately I dont get to many like that these days.

The whole day cost me about 40 quid, I topped up a quite impressive tan for April and thoroughly relaxed.
One of the things I love so much about being on the continent, and especially Germany is the massive range of things you can do.

You can go raving clubbing till 5am any day of the week, and then be sitting in a stunning flower lined park, amongst fantastic architecture the next day listening to live classical music for free.

I would find it very hard to come back to the UK now!!

People envy me, I am only a mile which ever way I go from a beach, but Summers here are any-thing but relaxing. We dont even venture out too much of a bank holiday, its far to busy for me. Thats why we are looking forward to getting away for a bit of peace and quiet.

is it your own business Rose? You need to set aside time to relax and recouperate :)

Hubby has his own business and I work long hours in quite a demanding business for a national Pharmacy chain. Hence why we have booked a relaxing week away in the above villa, cant wait. :lol:

Yes it a very nice island, I stayed in Nidri the island is quite big on wind surfing and flotillas of sailing boats having a stop over, places worth a visit is Meganisi nice little place. we hired a boat for the day just a small motor boat and visited lots of nice nudist bays/beaches we used to motor in around the headland watch the nudists run for cover they must have hated us as we headed back out to sea. :lol: :lol:
Mind you our visit was pre child so I'm guessing somewhere around 1995 I'll have to dig out the photos... :shock:
