So the Amber Watch List idea has been scrapped. Normal chaos resumed!

Thank goodness for that!
More coaches arrived today, saw them dropping off at Little Prince.
Most bars and restaurants fairly busy now, we haven’t eaten anywhere where it wasn’t nearly full. In fairness if you dropped me into the village with no knowledge of Covid and travel restrictions I would think it was a normal July/August.
A few more other nationalities about, noticed more so during the day than in the evening though, particularly Poles.
The beach web cam will give a good idea how busy the beach is.
Oh and it’s hot, very hot. 35-37 last few days with a feels like 42 heat index thing. It’s currently 30 at 11pm, so it was an early retreat to the air con room. Feels like temperature tomorrow at 2pm I’ve just seen forecast as 47, we shall be staying in the sea, which is still surprisingly chilly in a morning before becoming a warm bath in the afternoon

WorldwideWeatheronline shows peaks of 32o over this week. Current temperature at 01:00 CET is 30o - which is consistent with the chart. BBC shows 39o on Tuesday. Who knows?

Cooler today, clouds and breeze. So much so that we came out of the sea/ off the beach early and went a walk from Fedra up the hill to Eriannas for afternoon ice cream coffee.

It's nice to have a break from the beach, sounds like an ideal day for a walk!

Our last day today so spending it chilling at Fedra pool, got it to ourselves!
Beachcomber tonight for last meal and then back to Fedra to make espresso martinis. Then collected at 1100hrs in the morning which I much prefer, don’t like hanging around for later flights. PLFs all done, neg test results printed and had a lovely time with Harri and Dimitri and Erinni at Fedra. They cater for those of us who want a chilled place to stay. Got 18 days booked with them next summer 😀

Home safe and sound, a bit stressful at the airport. Anyone leaving Corfu on a Monday leave extra time. We had a few things all added up, first taxi was 20 mins late collecting us, then the journey took 1 hr 20 mins as traffic in Corfu town was bad. Meaning we got to the check in queue for Jet2 later than planned and the queue was very slow moving with checking documents and the luggage belt stopped working. All meant we were queuing for security about 5 mins before the gate was supposed to close, but as was everyone, so did the run to the gate but flight departed 45 mins late so it was fine in the end.
