Monday 1st September

Slow start to the day with plenty of swimming and of course a cooked
breakfast in the bar for Tom!

Planned to move off around midday and return to Gaios, but this was brought
forward a bit when the Austrian boat next to us left and then dragged their
anchor over ours and got themselves in a tangle.

Moored up in exactly the same spot that we had vacated the day before, with
the same neighbours (Steve & Bunty) on their Oyster 49. Invited them over
for tea and they then reciprocated with drinks at 7.30 pm. In the meantime
Patty and her family had arrived for their two week holiday and we agreed to
meet them for drinks in the square before going for a meal. So.........we
had rather too many drinks on the Oyster, before meandering into the square
to meet up with Patty and family. We then all headed off to Theo & Pan's
restaurant where there was much greeting and tears etc as all of their
family came out to meet up with Patty. We finished eating around 1.00am and
the 'children' all headed off looking for the disco/club whilst we headed to
Alex's bar where Alex plied us with free drinks to celebrate Patty and co's
arrival. Sarah and I got back to the boat to find Tom & Ewan already back in
bed (it was 3.00am)

Tuesday 2nd September

Not much action before 10.00 am!

When quizzed by our neighbours, Ewan explained that he felt embarrassed that
he had come home before his parents. It turns out that the disco is closed
this week, so they are going to have to source alternative entertainment.

Lazy day spent mostly sunbathing and swimming at a pool that Patty has been
invited to use.

In the evening we invited Steve & Bunty over for drinks and then later we
walked into town and met up with Patty and co. All 11 of us then ate at
Mambo's and afterwards retired to the square for a few nightcaps!
