Hi all from sunny Haraki
Just on the internet before Hubby wakes up after another late night at Jacks. It was mobbed in here last night the festival is on and there were alot of locals around. Paula says hello and yes they are keeping the prices down for yet another season.
I was talking to the Olmpic Rep yesterday and told him of our concerns regarding not being able to get out next year. He said that they were being the only operators here taking on more accommodation next year, he spefically mention Castle View, so maybe that will be in the tourists choice next year.
There isn't alot of Tourist about, but there are plenty of locals keeping the bars and resturants busy, maybe not as much profit but it will keep the place ticking over until the Tourists start coming back when the uncertainty of jobs etc which is keeping everyone away at the moment.
Have to go Euro is running out in the meter.

Hi Bob. I'm glad to see the situation does'nt look like worsening any more. Just hope it picks and hopefully next year will be normal service resumed. Given the horrendous state of the Greek economy as a whole it seems the Harakians have done well to keep the prices so competetive and long may they do so. They have to be congratulated on that. Given the fact that a pint of John Smith's bitter in Jacks cost me the equivalent of about £3, it's only about 40p dearer than I pay here and it's travelled the best part of 2000 miles so it ain't a bad deal.Still, it won't be long before you go again will it Bob?. Aug 26th for me. Not long now. Barry
