.....Hot.....Hot.....Hot......

....No no, not England.......here......



.....we have just had a most wonderful week, laying in the hot sun, sipping cool drinks, reading and sunbathing in beautiful Santorini......


 
 
....this was a very much needed holiday for us, just the two of us, not doing anything much at all, we went to Santorini six years ago and fell in love with the place then, and new that we both wanted to go back, it really is the most beautiful island, well actually its a volcano.....
 
....this is the bit in the middle that has been active in the past, so its very black this part, you can get a yacht over to take a closer look, the little island behind it has hot springs that you can swim in....
 
....the sunsets in Santorini are breath taking and everybody gathers in the evening to watch it happen and take lots of photos.....though a photo just cant replicate seeing the real thing....
 
 
 
....i took loads of photos....
 
.....This was a really beautiful taverna called Vanilla and we ate there on our last evening...
 
 
 
 

....this is were we stayed, its called 'Meli Meli' and it has to be one of the best places that we have ever stayed at abroad, there was only six small apartments for couples, and a pool, our room was cleaned every day with fresh bedding and clean towels, and also fresh flowers put on our table.....the lovely maid Agnus bought us breakfast each morning at whatever time we wanted it, a definite must for two people who want peace and quiet and solitude.....
 
.....and on our last day when we returned about four in the afternoon, look what we found.....
 
 
....rose petals, all over our bed........oh how romantic......
 
 
 
 
 
.....if you are looking for a quiet romantic break away from it all for two...then Santorini is definitely the place to go......i could show you hundreds of pictures but i think from these you get the drift.....
 
 
 
.....see you soon my friends, with some new makes....
hugs to you all Pixie ....

  7. Wow hon, what stunning photographs! Just reading this post has made me temporarily forget the awful storm we are having and the 5 degree temperature! So lovely to hear that you had a chance to escape for a sunny holiday. What a beautiful destination - I hope I am lucky enough to visit there someday.
