FILAKIA FROM THE ELPIDA RESORT - MY EXTENDED BIRTHDAY TREAT!

Filakia from the Elpida Resort ~ (kisses from the Elpida Resort) 17 August 2011

Just a quick update, following my last two posts on the subject of the surprise my husband sprang on me for my b-day!

My birthday treat is a total success, I can guarantee that much...!

Hubs was absolutely right when he said that I needed to wind down for a few days, recharge the batteries and just do sweet nothing... Well, believe me, I've been doing a lot of sweet nothing these last three days!

Thoroughly enjoying the stay ~ it's extremely relaxing and because it's the height of the tourist season we've been lucky in that the hotel was quite empty; I know, this probably sounds strange, but it's true. Being situated inland, some 70km from the seaside, people have been gravitating toward to beaches rather than sitting on a cool terrace in the hills! Understandably so...

My better half, however, knew very well that the last thing on my mind would be masses of semi-naked bodies on sandy beaches, noisy children (no matter how much I love 'em!) or local traffic that prevents you from making any progress, so he wisely chose a haven of peace and tranquility to get my mental balance sorted!

One fly in the ointment: the spa and beauty center are closed too until next week... :(
Mmm...perhaps that could be the perfect excuse for another short break in the not too distant future, I wonder...??
I wouldn't mind, I can assure you!

Before heading out to have a drink with some friends, let me share some of the snapshots I took ~ hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed being here!

Thanks for visiting!
Would love to read your comments...!

With happy, relaxed smiles from the Elpida Spa Resort...

Emm :))

    Greetings,
    I'm Emma, better known as Emm among those who know me well enough. I am a Daughter of Mother Earth, and in my little family we are all blessed with what I call "The Globetrotter Gene". We have spent more than three decades roaming the planet until a few years ago we decided to set up camp in the Balkans, and since then we call home where we put our feet under a table in either Greece or her northern neighbour, Bulgaria. 
    I welcome you to Emma's Blog - it was created with a view to sharing happenings and thoughts related to our journey through life. I thank you for stopping by and hope you are enjoying the ride ... Feel free to share the experience!...
