50) No Ice Cream

On Sunday we went looking for a market, the hotel reception said there was a good one on Sundays in Pathos so we went to find, the only days it closes is this Sunday and Monday (bank holiday weekend) so we will go on Tuesday.
We went on to the Tombs of the Kings, a good choice, seeing excavations from hundreds of years ago. On the way back to our hotel we called at Coral Bay for ice cream only to be told that there was no ice cream because it's winter, it's "26 degrees" (I don't care what season it is, 26 degrees and that's summer I thought).
The rest of the day was spent relaxing at the hotel by the pool. In the evening there was a fire eater on for entertainment in the hotel, he also did an act of walking on broken glass and a bed of nails, Jess got volunteered to help (I was thinking of volunteering but think we might have been calling the emergency service to pull the nails out of his chest) (photo of Jess helping after 20th)
Today we set off early for a drive North to Polis and then east along the coast and beaches towards (but not all the way) the Border with Turkey. This area seems to be in a time warp with the locals living as they have for many year, it's good to see.
Back at about 2.00 pm for a relaxing afternoon at the hotel, it's good to get out and see the area but also good for us all to recharge our batterys ready for whatever we face (probably bad weather in the UK).
Started steroids again today for four days. So a breakfast of 10 steroids, Bonefoss, paracetamol, Aciclovir, antibiotics and a full English, life could be worse.

  1. Fancy doing a clinical trial on the effectiveness of a full English breakfast against steroids? I've heard both can be bloating...
    Doing it "double blind" would be tricky though...

    It's not a full English everyday but the oppertunity, but as far as the medical trial I think that with all the trials that have got me this far it would only be fair for me to recipricate.

    We have found ice cream now so you would be fine, we eat ice cream in winter at home because it's nearly always winter, 26 degrees is a good day in UK.
    Averil and Jess are fine too and enjoying themselves. See you soon.

  5. Hooray for ice cream! I actually ate one yesterday too after reading your blog even though it was cold here! I ate it in protest for you of course, just like I'm not eating veg to support you :) Fx
