Time To Say Goodbye ........

So, as the sun set, tres romantically, on another of our Greek Oddities ......

......  we gave each other time to be alone with our thoughts and memories, just for a little while ........

...... to celebrate companionship, friendship, love and laughter in our absolute favourite of foreign climes 

Once more, we've been incredibly blessed in a truly, truly Hello magazine type way, with special thanks to Tui!

It was ....... emotional.

But then, with Nigel clutching his treasured, small pot of proper Greek honey, a gift from Krista, as we bid our final goodbyes, amidst tears and hugs and promises to be back soon .....

...... Darrell cracked open our traditional bottle of last night Asti Spumante ........

....... toasting not only this holiday ......

........ but holidays to come and all those we wished could have been with us, including  our beloved Alice.  Where we will be this time next year, is too soon to say, but our reminiscences of this year will no doubt keep us going until Darrell sits down at the computer to book another one in the new year.

Then, it was off to our Kardamena ice cream parlour of choice, just round the corner from our hotel  ......

....... for a final tub of their truly delicious pistachio (not to be mistaken for pastichio) ice cream........

It's been ........................... a blast!
