Mr SA is after a bracelet now and the hat has been forgotten 😬 We tried to get to the old village today which is where we stayed back in the 90s when the kids were little. Unfortunately the scooter let Mr SA down and we had to abort the mission. We had a nice chilled day round the hotel pool in the end. Got upset by seeing a little kitten in the bushes on the way to the old village, I just hope it’s being looked after, it was so cute.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)3

So Mr SA got his bracelet 😬 Ended up having to change the scooter today after it cut out near the hotel and “unfortunately” had to get the help of two strong Swedish men to push it back. I am still recovering from the shock 🤣🤣I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)5

According to the sun bed man on the beach Greece has locked its doors and we’re not allowed to go back home to the UK and to expensive gas and electric prices - I wish 🤣I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)4

Just come into the hotel reception to cool off, it’s very hot out there. Mr SA went back to the room a while ago so I’ve been sitting on my own. Earlier the woman on the sunbed next to me screamed as a praying mantis had jumped on her 😱 It was enormous 😱
Have been out to the shops this morning, unfortunately Mr SA has reignited his need for a sailor hat 😬I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)5 -
Decided to eat in the hotel tonight as can’t face roping people into getting the scooter up the blooming ramp. Food is great here so not a hardship. Photo of the pool at night.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)5
