While the boys on the beach did a little bird watching, Paul (left), who works for a tour company, took a few minutes to day dream his workday out of the office and down to bay, before business called him back to reality. Lucky (Above Left) cools himself down with an ice cream before a swim and strikes a pose before he dives in. |

The island cats are getting fatter as the tourist season progresses. The feline above is looking very well fed for a stray, and isn't camera shy either. Even he wants to get on the website and show off his purr-fect body. |

Wed 20 July - Yesterday there was no escaping the knowledge that the Summer Season is now fully in swing. People everywhere, lots of bikes, cars and pedestrians sharing what were the lonely streets of Ithaca just over a month ago. Last nights' full moon brought out the 'wild ones' and it couldn't have been any wilder than at Century Club in Vathy which had the strippers back for another Summer show and at Soris Way Creperie in Stavros, where a Hens night was celebrated. |
Below - Emergency in Frikes last night when a young man passed out from working too hard. Luckily local nurses Demetri and Lucky were on call with just the right medicine. to revive the faint Brit. He was advised to go directly to Bemenis and stay all night, as going home may tempt the young man to sleep instead of taking more of his medicine. |
