A PERFECT DAY IN ARILLAS
Waking in the morning,
Strolling to the beach,
A croissant at the bakery?
Yes, we’ll have one each!
Or else we’ll go to Poppy’s,
Her famous eggs on toast
Laugh and chat with family,
They sure are perfect hosts.
Bobby greets us, “Calamari!”
Who’s he trying to kid?
We say, “Wait a minute,
Who you calling a squid?”
Lying on the golden sands,
Swimming in the sea,
Soaking up the sunshine,
Pure bliss, we both agree.
Lunch at the Mirage
With Angela and Nikos
We never tire of this view
With a pint each of Mythos.
We’ll enjoy another hour
Lounging around the pool,
And if the heat gets too much
We’ll go inside to cool.
Play darts at the Rainbow
With Eggy and some friends,
Jimmy’s hospitality,
Fun here never ends.
Late afternoon, another swim
At one of the many pools,
Marina maybe or Splish Splash,
So many from which to choose.
We’ll have a snooze on our beds
Or maybe read for an hour,
Decide where we’re going to eat
While we’re in the shower.
Veg Moussaka at Porto Fino?
Or a fine meze at Brouklis?
Stuffed peppers at Thalassa?
Or fresh fish at Vavillas?
Before or after our dinner
Or throughout the meal
We’ll watch the fabulous sunset
What could be more ideal?
There is nothing I like more
Than to sit with a glass of wine
See the sun sink into the sea,
The colours so sublime.
Drinks at the Coconut Bar,
How best to end the day?
Than with Perry, Kostas and Hanna
And friends along the way.
We missed out Akritiri and more
They’ll be in tomorrow’s themes.
Such a perfect day in Arillas
To fulfill all my dreams.
