If we HAD to go back...

..you know if you twisted my arm then we'd defintely go back to Paleokastrista. Clive & I were last in Corfu two years ago, we stayed in 'Paleo', and can't have been too far from where you stayed Grandma & Grandad. We took a 2 hour hike up the hill & found a cafe at the top with the most spectaular view. We could see then 5 coves that make up Paleo and as I was reading Homers Odyssey at the time was convinced I could hear Odysseus' long boat being rowed across the hazy horizon. We also hiked up to the same monastery that just out to the sea pointing toward Italy. Although we didn't swim through the famous arch. The sea has worn an arch out of of the cliff. 'Legend' has it that if you swim through the arch at midnight with your eyes cl0sed you'll see your true love. According to the rep only Germans bother!

Thanks Pete for the kind comments. Have you lost your nerve these days? I don't believe it. We'll have to put that right next summer. I remember you dangling Will and I from each shoulder socket, & you and Nic thrashing us at cricket in Oakley Rd back garden before Sunday lunch (not fair kids they were whacking the ball over the shop... 25 runs a ball..competitve Uncles...tisk). Is there beach provision for a Banana boat ride Dad? Who are we missing now for July 2006? Are we all in?
