Calypso Cupid?

5 years ago, Martin and Heike didn't know each other. They lived at opposite ends of Germany. They met whilst visiting a mutual friend, Tim, who that year worked at Calypso. They fell in luuuurve and, to cut a 5 year story short, they now live in the same town which is handy because they get married next month! Congratulations, dears!

Going home in the afternoon

Cheeky!!!

Brian & Lynne are really enjoying their holiday. So much so that Lynn wanted to share with everyone how burned her bottom had got yesterday!

Fun in the sun

Recipe: Take two 5 year old boys and one Lilo. Add to a copious amount of water and stir.

Shared roots

Steve & Debs were here for their customary 3 weeks. One (slightly boozy) relaxing Calypso afternoon, Steve discovered shared roots with Duke. They both hail from the same town. Debs is the rose between the thorns of Steve, left and Duke, right.

Souvlaki fans

Ian, Ann, Lynn and Ray just kept coming back for the chicken souvlaki which they voted the best around! Thanks, chums. Good when you can get it, eh?

Congratulation, Dave & Charlotte

Congratulations go to Dave & Charlotte who worked here last year. It seems that rather than conserving their energies for work at Calypso as all dedicated employees should do, they were busy conceiving the beautiful Milly-Rose who was born in April. Nice work, guys - she's a corker! One can only speculate, however, on the deep, long-term psychological impact she will be getting from Daddy's hairstyle.

Love ya all! Hope to see you all here for a visit soon!!!

Coping with the heat

As we hit 45 degrees...............................................



This is how a 5 year old feels about living near a beach when the sun shines every day!




Sarah demonstrates the arduous nature of being an Au Pair in this challenging environment!


Brian sets up for a nights trading while the boys play with a disease ridden street-dog.

Temperature soars - at night!

Last night, PALEOCHORA recorded the second highest night-time temperature in the world! Somewhere around 38 - 39 degrees!

Sweet dreams!

Weather update

As there is a lot of rainy, miserable, cool and dull weather in the UK (and other parts of Northern Europe) at the moment, I wuold like to take this opportunity to say how lucky you all are. Here we are halfway through a big heatwave. Yesterday we went to the beach and even our towels we too hot to lie on so we were all lying in the water. At home there was a fight for the children's paddling pool - and the children were asleep at the time!!

The forecast says it will peak tomorrow (Tues) at around 43 degrees.

Oh for a cold rainy afternoon!
