Days 6 and 7

Day 6 - Today was a road trip day, we went up the other side of Zak, past Zante and into some more beaches the likes of Tsilivi and where we stopped for the day to chill on the beach again, Alykes, this was a nice sandy beach but quite windy (by Greece standards not Welly). We had also invested in some patter tennis bats snce this is a common pastime for the holiday makers in Zak, but our investment lasted all of about 20 minutes as one of the bats broke, obviously not meant to be played in the sea...it was a stink game anyway. So AD and I then tried to introduce the favourite kiwi pastime of diving catches in the sea, it was fair to say that I was the less consistent catcher but took more stunners funnily enough this game did not catch on. So after another lazy day on the beach we headed up into the hills and over to the other side of the island in search of a shipwreck and a traditional Greek village (you know white houses with blue roofs). We never found the village but after Ruth staging a coup to dump me as team naviagator we eventually found Shipwreck Cove. There were stunning views on this side of the island and we concluded the evening with a dinner in a small village called Maries whilst the sun set, over yet another dinner served with chips (apparently a traditional serving with Greek food). The night concluded with the girls fading and AD giving me a real lesson in euchre whilst drinking cheap red wine...the score will remain unsaid.

Day 7 - Today consisted of lazing in and by the pool all day...and having more fun with a tennis ball. I have recently jumped on the Dan Brown bandwagon too, reading one of his books, kills the time but now I know why I don't read novels. So after another hard day we polished of some Mythos and the rest of the red wine and popped down to Argassi for a big night out but we missed the boat some what as they all head out to clubs here, so we had another feed instead! IMPORTANT UPDATE: Rach and Jim dominated the euchre tonight smashing the Ruth and AD combination over three sets.
