When we go back to Teresa at night we always love the sounds of the cricket type insects and also the look of the village as you look back as well. It helps to take your mind off the walk.  :)

As everyone says - basically there are great advantages to being up the hill, the ambience, the views, the sunset,
and you can't help but get a touch fitter!
The disadvantages are carrying stuff up the hill, especially the things like 6 packs of large bottles of water, which are so cheap!
Walking back up after the beach in the hot sun especially if you have any medical problems.
Most issues can be overcome by using common sense and taking it easy, carry a small bottle of water as well!
I think next time I stay up a hill, I'll get Gwen and Bev to chase me!!
That'll work - LOL

Hi
We take my mum with us to SS and she is 69 this year with different health problems but she has no problems walking anywhere in SS or around Corfu so don't worry about it. My advice is take your time, drink plenty and enjoy your holiday as there is no place like it and you will soon forget how far you have walked or how long you have been out and about.

Yamas

.....and bring some rehydration powder with you ( for those with heart/kidney conditions check with your Dr first ); you would be surprised how the hustle and bustle of hol prep, the flight and the sun....and the alcohol you boys/don/hendrix46:)?,??? consume from the minute you get through the departure lounge, heard hendrix46 starts on the way to the Airport LOL LOL... dehydrates you. A nice tasting one is dyriolite, not sure of sp, or the boots/superdrug/savers own brands...not as nice tasting ;D. If you forget to bring, dont fret, AlMORA plus is available from the local Pharmakio and we take this on a daily basis, but more, up to 8 times a day the Pharmacists suggested, if req. Replaces the natural salts "electrolyte replacement", quite different from drinking water and ideal for any form of upset tummy, nauseousness, D/V etc. Lucazade sport is good to on a smaller scale.

Tony being well hydrated in this manner will help and see you sprinting up the hill but if you hurt and all fails don't worry nurses 8) Bev/Gwen will look after you, and don't be naughty you two(T/D) and let your minds work overtime!!!!!!! and don't forget your hats and not to do it between 12&3pm.

antio...bye.

How about this then for a "wholistic approach" Holis., has just reminded me of the "home made soultion".... given to her by a Tourists who is a Pharmacist, we use this when we are poor/can't make it to the Pharmakio.!!!!

Here goes:

Rehrdration Mix (can check this out with the Pharmacist too)

1x litre water

8x level tsp sugar

1x level tsp salt

We make up sol and keep in the fridge or Kip makes it up and take with him when he goes diving cos Gee.... its hot out there.
Cheers
Enjoy
