I will find out.

It was a bit busier last night with about 12 covers at the Little Prince but after the rain yesterday the evening was very cold with lightning flashing across the sky and I am sure at one stage I saw a few snow flakes ;D

El Greco was still open at 1am with a few locals in, El Greco is now very prominent in SanStef and some real competition for Bar 38 and the Condor.

More people arriving on Monday and all the talk is of a bumper season and sold out apartments and hotels.

Prices are the same as last year and last night with paid just 32euro for two starters two mains a litre of wine and two soft drinks, 32e is about £26 which is remarkable value.

Talking to Vassillis at the Romanza yesterday and the big complaint is the ever increasing taxes from the Greek Government and that businesses are trying to absorb these cost rather than put up prices. I think local businesses could put up prices by 5% - 10% without it affecting trade but the locals are afraid to do that.

So it's cracking value from our perspective and as long as the pound stays around 1.2 the good times will continue for UK visitors.

Weather is a bit brighter today but it will be tomorrow before we see any real improvement.

Had a drive down the new bypass yesterday which was great, it's open 'unofficially' so all the locals are using if. The road is a bit rough in the middle but even there it's better than most of the other local roads!

Today is opening day for many in the village and the sun is out to celebrate after yesterday's thunderstorms, the Mistral is blowing so it's cool but at least it's sunny.
