Kefalonia, what a beautiful place it is. Me and Darren were desperate for a holiday where we didn't have to do an awful lot, we needed somewhere where all we had to worry about is topping up on our suncream and staying hydrated..with alcohol.
This is exactly what this holiday gave us. We stayed at Apostolata Island Resort & Spa, and went as all inclusive. The hotel was gorgeous! Our hotel room had a wonderful view (shown in the pictures above) and the staff were so friendly, they couldn't do enough for us. I would happily go back and I can't stop recommend this place to all of my friends and family!
As much as me and Darren sat around the pool doing..well..not a lot, we did actually move our fat tooshies and went on a couple of day trips, mainly to explore Kefalonia, and I can't express myself how beautiful this island is. Everywhere you look there is just another beautiful view you haven't seen yet, and with the sun beaming down it always looks a thousands times gorgeous!
We visited Messalini Lake, Drogarati Cave. It really is breathtaking, the water is so blue and clear, I have never seen anything like it.
Can you tell I caught the sun a smidge?
And the holiday was just getting started...
On the first night of our holiday, we were both sitting in the bar having a few drinks, Darren then turns to me and says that we need to go back to our hotel room because he has bought something for us that he wants to show me, and as we get close to our room I was dying for a wee (no wonder with the amount of drinks we've had) so we made the deal of me doing my business and he calls me when he's ready for me to come out to show me what he had bought. When I go out he is nowhere to be seen, until I hear his voice coming from the balcony, but the curtains are shut which I found quite unusual. What has he bought that needs for him to be out on the balcony?!
All I kept thinking was 'what the bloody hell has he bought?!' I had no idea what the hell was going on, but I open the curtains.
Do my eyes deceive me? Is this actually happening?
Darren was dressed in a full tailored suite, looking gorgeous as alway, kneeling down on the floor with a box in his hand, and there was this shinny, glistening thing in it..blinding me with its sparklyness! Oh my god this was actually happening! Darren was asking me to marry him!
I immediately started bawling my eyes out, Darren was saying this wonderful things to me about how happy I make him, and of course I said yes! (I won't lie, I can't quite remember what he said because my head was spinning with all different emotions! That makes me sound like the worse girlfriend ever, oops sorry fiancé!)
Behind him, the table on the balcony was covered in such beautiful things. Darren, the sneaky monkey, went off to the reception at the hotel to tell them his plans, and they created such a beautiful scenery while we were drinking in the bar!
It was such a beautiful moment, something out of a fairytale!
Next..WEDDING PLANS! :D
S'laters!
