Cornwall Holiday

Had a fantastic week in Cornwall. The sun didn't shine all the time but I made the most of it when it did! Warning - very photo heavy!

Taking a moment

All of these were taken at Godrevy Beach, the light was stunning.

Had a barbecue in the evening and yet more beautiful light.

Arilas - are you bored yet?!

Seemed a shame to take all of these and then not post them so here they are!

Left Em laying in the sun one morning and went for a walk to take some photos of Arilas.

Walked out of Arilas away from the sea to look for a more Corfiot landscape

But really Arilas is all about the sea

Arilas, Corfu

Was trying to work out the best way of doing this so that the photos make some sense, have decided to start with the photos of our accommodation. We stayed at the Kaloudis Village in Arilas. Considering I picked it based on price, cheap, and location, next to the beach and not up a ruddy great hill we were very lucky. The whole place was nice but what really made it were the people who own it who went out of their way to be friendly and helpful.

The view from our balcony of the apartments opposite. The gardens took a huge amount of looking after.

Our room and balcony - its the one with the yellow walls and the blue towel over the railing.

The pool area was fantastic. Wish I was there now!

Our sun loungers already secured with our blue towels!
