hippopots:
Yay we are back on line with our own internet  ;D

Met CHRIS NO2 today, as he and his wife just arrived today, and have gorious sunny weather.

Lots of people opening this weekend, including, I believe, Beachcombers, and Yianni's gyros has just put his sign out to say opening on Friday.
We're all getting there....nearly all ready for summer 2014!!  8)

hippopots:
Today sees a slightly overcast day, but when the sun breaks through it is HOT!
We're all waiting for the clouds to disappear for the summer, and hopefully they will oblige soon.
The village has really come alive now...scooters and quads all out at Spiros and Pegasus, all the supermarkets are open, and all signage, and tables and chairs are out at Mediterranean Village, Zorbas, Barras, El Greco, Silver Star, Two Stars, Little Prince, Kamini Bar, Silver Moon, and Yiannis, plus Town Pizza, Tasty Corner, and Manthos are now open.
Summer Dreams were doing a big cutting back of their pam trees this morning, so will probably soon be open too.

Lots of vehicles coming and going, delivering all the goodies required for the openings that will be happening tomorrow!

This afternoon saw the May Day party at the Arillas brewery, just at the top of the hill between the 2 villages. A little bit of a practice run for the main beer festival to be held in October, it was a nice afternoon, with souvlaki and sausage at 1.50euro each, plus FREE BEER! Add to that a local (ex-pat) band to listen to, and a good time was being had by the nice mix of Greeks, Brits, Germans etc that were there. We really should have been doing the last minute finishing touches to our shop, but hey, it was our last day off til October!   

Ioanna:
What is one extra day Hippopots - it has to be done !

hippopots:
Yay, summer has started  8)

A lovely sunny day, perfect for the arrival of the first UK tour operator guests.

New faces began appearing in the village around lunchtime, (the people who did their own transfers), followed by the arrival of the first coaches around mid afternoon.
Many hotels welcomed their first guests of the season today.

Alot of us have been doing our last few jobs this morning, to be all ready for arrivals.
Others will be open I am sure within the next few days

Yiannis Gyros welcomed some regulars tonight, and there were a number of people enjoying the rays of the evening sun on the front terrace of Thomas Bay.
 

hippopots:
Oh dear, I spoke too soon about summer arriving.....today has unfortunately been a wet one :-[
Unusual for May, but hopefully won't last too long!
There were quite a few people braving the weather this morning, but by this evening it was a little quieter after a downpour at about 5pm.
But there were still people enjoying a drink in Barras, and the first customers for Beachcombers for 2014 were already seated just 10 minutes after their opening tonight.
Disappointing weather for everyone today, but there is still plenty of good food, good beer, and friendly welcomes here in San Stef come rain or shine  ;)
