Filming!

There they go with Julie Walters on board to film another scene. Wish I'd hired a speed boat now so I could have followed them!

Mama Mia!

Keep an eye out for this boat in the forthcoming film 'Mama Mia' (proposed release July 2008). This is the very pier where we watched them filming a scene with Julie Walters. It was searing heat of 46 degrees celsius!

Notice my halo!

Is this a Runway?

This is the tiny runway we had to land on and take off from! When arriving and circling the small island of Skiathos the Pilot alerted my attention to the tiny runway. I could see it as we approached it to land on.......I thought we would never stop on such a small runway....my heart was in my mouth! Taking off we had to take a detour to refuel on the Greek mainland (Thessaloniki), we had to do this because the pilot said that we couldn't take off from such a small runway with full fuel tanks!!!! It's the smallest runway I've ever been on and it was quite an experience.....i thought we were going to end up in the sea!!

My Holiday 2007 (Skiathos Greece)

The very first morning! A great shot of the rising sun as it shines it's rays into our apartment. Our view was fantastic! We stayed in Megali Amos just a 5 minute walk from the busy Skiathos Town. Skiathos Town is situated just over the hill toward the rising sun. A pretty little town with an Old Port and a New Port. The filming of the Movie 'Mama Mia' was taking place in the old Port. We went to watch them filming in blazing heat. Julie Walters was being made up ready for her part. Tom Hanks was producing and we just missed him by 5 minutes! I was gutted!

The weather was fabulous but we did have 2 days of rain........needed to cool us down!

We stayed in an apartment block with a fantastic pool and bar area, the hosts Ramona, Achilles, and Lorenzo were brilliant!

The only downfall of having a holiday is that you have to come home!
