Hi All
Got back from Plakias on 07.09, it’s been four years since my last visit, or anywhere else for that matter. I’ve had a few probs, so holidays have been on hold.
It was quite emotional as I turned left and down the Plakias hill, mainly because I had to leave Tina back in the UK.
It hasn’t changed a bit, a couple of new bars but basically the place I know. It was good to see John O again and I apologise for not getting back to you on that drink John. Next year you’re on, and you will probably be sorry you asked. This year was an attempt to get back to reality and I am still finding my feet.
I’ve been keeping in touch with the board, but for obvious reasons, my contributions have been minimal.
I followed the First Choice saga with interest, as I had booked the Irida with them and attempted all the things that others had tried, to get some info for next year. That’s why I grabbed Gary at the welcome meeting (my first one) and got the truth. I, and probably everyone who spoke to Gary appreciated his honesty. I know Gary has been reading the message board, and I would just like to say that you’re a nice guy Gary and you are doing a great job. I know you are going to be sorry to leave Plakias at the end of the season as you have acquired Plakiasitos, it’s a disease which is not easy to get rid of and I think that you have a lot of sympathy for the problems that FC has caused the regulars.
It’s great to be back on the board and hopefully I can make some contribution, I’m going up the agent on Saturday to book for next year, now I know who’s taking over.
One question: Who nicked the ‘Welcome to Plakias’ sign at the top of the hill? Souvenirs are one thing Guy's, but that’s not nice!
