Samwell's 2010 trip to Arillas heaven...

[Samwell]

What can I say... it was unforgetable, brilliant, amazing (as ever!)

This year I feel even sadder to have left, not only the people there making me want to stay, the kind comments Ive had, the others who tell me I should stay and it wouldnt be too difficult... but just about everything (and excuse the pun) under the sun!

I was going to write a huuuge long report on what I did, who I met, tastes new and old, smells, views and fun and games... but Ive run out of time. For the next 4 days I wont be able to come online so Ill have to update you all when Ive got some free time. Dont worry though... its coming!

I also havent had a chance to upload the videos of Arillas, Magoulades, Sidari and Peroulades that I made - they will take me a while as they are quite large files... BUT I have sorted ALL of my photos and can now give you the links!

They goto my Facebook page, but even if you dont have Facebook, you should be able to have a look at them without a problem. You'll have to excuse some of the odd photos taken in the nightime at the Malibu... but I hope you generally enjoy. There are around 400 photos... a lot of sunsets and unfotunately some repeats as my computers super slow and confused. (much like me)

Album 1 - http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=240445&id=510550589&l=6372e09b04

Album 2 - http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=240612&id=510550589&l=6c89bced16

I will be back on the forum in a few days and will fill you in more then on everything. All I need say really is that I miss Arillas more than I could ever tell you all, Im sure we all feel the same... but my heart feels like it belongs there.

As you know, Sam, I'm on Facebook anyway and I'm partway through your 204 photos on there!
For any other forum members who've not yet seen them, they're  a totally different slant to the "usual" ones we all produce (not meaning any insults here)

Well done Sam!

Ah Sam. We justloved your post. You belong to Arillas like so many of us do. The pic of you with Brouklis' new eye candy is beautiful.



Read your post earlier. Life is short. But do it in an orderly fashion and make it work. We might well be neighbours in a few years time. Can only say we look forward to it.

And sorry to call you eye candy dear, you are very beautiful but we don't know your name. Will explain in a week or so's time.   

Arillas here we come!

Excellent pictures! Thank you for sharing

There are so many fantastic photographs to look through, Sam, that I may have to look many times. Also a lovely mix of photos, sunsets, food (Lindy), views, people and the trip with Dimitris, Litsa and Spiros to Mathraki.

Looks like you had a great time and we will look forward to the videos. Thanks for posting the pics so quickly

Sam just looked at all your photos, what a fantastic mix of piccies, you have captured everything that is Arillas in them.  All of them from the views, the sunsets, the food (yum), the people and the turtle in the malibu I am sick with longing now!  Cant go this year so its an extra long wait for me, thank you for taking the time to take all the pics and putting them on facebook.  I can sit and dream.

I've been looking forward to your photos Sam & you didn't disappoint - they are brilliant, as were last years.
A nice mixture, but my favourite has to be the sunset with the people on the jetty. I also love the ones that Janis mentioned which have a different "slant" to any others.

but my heart feels like it belongs there.

I know that feeling well Sam. Another future Arillas resident maybe??

The new waitress in Brouklis, Phil, is called either Anna or Yianna (something like that!)

She's lovely as I'm sure you'll find out - VERY SOON!
