I think the little one looks a bit like fluffy piglet, and yes they are both cute. Thats the one who just yaps a bit but usually ignores everyone.

Certainly will! My last trip abroad was to Helsinki, (Helldone Festival 2009/2010) Finland fascinates me. I loved wandering around the city, even though it was -14 degrees and dark by 14.30! No wonder you love Corfu!

Jooles, our Erja is another cornerstone of the forum. We have spent many an enjoyable hour in her company, and plan many more. She is such an ambassador for Finland, as is her friend Heidi. They both love Arllas just as much as we do, and they are such fun to be with.

If you open your heart, Arillas will fill it with peace and friendship. And it is real with the local folk and many of the tourists.

Your son will be surprised by the laid back Arillas dogs. I am friends with most of them. But there was one who bit me. The story is there in previous holiday reports, but I should have known better.

Your son won't get run over in Arillas, crossing the "road" or not. And he will probably end up being friends with some of the dogs.

Have a great time, and tell us what you thought by posting on here. Whatever that is, we can cope with others' views that differ from ours.

I'd be more concerned with the snakes, tarantulas and mossies and I'm no dog lover.

Seen lots of snakes on Corfu, most of them dead on roads, the " tarantulas" are just large spiders that you can see anywhere warm..... Scorpions I don't know, never seen one myself, only on Kos. Take lots of repellent the mossies are the most scary of the three.

Val no need for the inverted comma's over the word Tarantula- southern european one's are the originals, named before the nastier south american variety apparently. I haven't seen one yet, but I'm sure I'd break the four minute mile if I did! I think their full name is Lycosa Tarantula- I almost wish I'd never read any Gerald Durrell now!

Just to add to Nics very acurate post about the naming of these spiders - first discovered in the vicinty of the Southern Italian port of Taranto (hence the name) they live in underground burrows and are actually nocturnal animals and very timid of large mammals which is why you will probably never ever see one, and even if you do they can run away very quickly! So no need to worry about these creatures - as Val says, it's the mossies you need to worry about !!!
Home is where the heart is - CORFU :-)

 Thank God I've never seen a tarantula yet Nic and Geoff, not scared of spiders but I wouldn't  want to meet one of them if I was one my own, although in saying that I am always the first to handle anything they  show in the petting area of zoos when we take the grandsons there, just never been offered a tarantula yet!!!
