2016 - A month in Arillas
« on: August 16, 2015, 11:21:22 AM »
I've booked a month from 4th July to 1st August for 2016! Staying with the delightful Bardis family at the Bardis Sun Studios again. This year the temperature some days towards the end of July was near to the 45* mark along with 97% humidity, hard to believe now that I'm back in temperate Yorkshire, so aircon has to be part of my plan next year. The Brouklis is a great place to stay, large bathroom, spotlessly clean, lots of clean towels and bedding and near to everything, along with a genuinely warm welcome, but I definitely need aircon next year just in case the temperature is that high again.

I've emailed Dimitris explaining why I'm changing accommodation this time and he said it was even too hot for him and he has aircon!

Only 46 weeks to go, see, I'm doing that counting thing again :-)

 Karen we will definitely miss you next year, booked last two weeks in June and it will be end of August for our second visit I think.

 Air con is a must for us too, unless we come early or late in the season.

Karen we should definitely meet at last next year then. We are booked at Bardis Sun Studios from 27  June to 8 July. We couldn't manage without the aircon. Love the Bardis family. It will be our 3rd time staying there but trying to keep the wonderful Bardis family a secret! Ssssh!

John R - An Egg never sleeps but just remains coddled.
The brain maybe scrambled and, in this heat, possibly fried!'
But ..... I am not one to poach a forum posting so just wish Karen a super month here for 2016.
(And if her Air Con is not good enough,  for a small price I will stand by her bed and wave an ostrich fan , all night.

Thought that John. But hey, who cares? Arillas has that effect on the brain..... you just forget all the troubles and all the cares, and just dream of being there whenever you're not. Totally forgiven..........

Val and Bill, we were inches away from each other this year, such a shame we didn't get to say hello .... maybe 2017, then. Or, if not, any other year will be good to meet you both, I think we are annual visitors for ever more to our paradise!

Sonia, that's fab news, it'll be good to meet you too next year.

Neill, that's so kind of you, thank you very much,  I would be delighted to ..... refuse your offer :-)

Phil and Jen, if you're there when I am next year, I promise not to break your ribs everyday with enormous, crushing hugs - I think I was just so happy to be there this year that whenever I saw you both there wasn't any words to say that could fully express my happiness, so I just gave you both hugs that could convey all our silent knowing that we were 'home' and that we recognised as much in each other?

Bugger - I knew I made the wrong choice with the bird's feather!

Seriously though.... We had air con installed 2 years ago and have only started using it this July n August. If 2016 brings us the same temps then it is a must to have the option of air con. Not cheap to run though and although many Villas supply it f.o.c. most use a sensor device that switches it off if any doors or windows are left open. (Stops forgetful guests from leaving it running during the day)

Cheers
Negg.

Karen meluvver, we are already booked at Bardis Sun Studios from 8th July for 3 weeks. So rib-crushing will be inevitable. My ribs get crushed every time I arrive in Arillas. It is part of the experience. Neill will deliver vodka and collect goodies from UK. John and Dot will join us on table 13. Bobby will be a year older and we will celebrate his birthday. Poppy will look 20 years younger and cook us glorious food. Arillas life will be like it was this summer. GLORIOUS!!!!

Glad you're joining the the senior moment gang John......you know what I mean, mixing up your posts, not recognising certain people when they are wearing odd looking hats. 😜😄

Sorry for hijacking your post Karen x

Ahh John and Dot, it can't come quickly enough. Patience is a virtue and a virtue I don't possess when it comes to waiting for Arillas.
