Terrific thunderstorm in the night. I see a lightning flash through closed eyelids and have time only to wonder about detaching retinas when the enormous thunder sounds. Everything sparkly clean in the morning and all of us down to the port to surprise Jenny and Doug and meet their cruise companions, Elaine and Phil. Then back in two cars to Erimi for coffee. The grounds are beautifully designed and are reminiscent of a Roman villa, from lemon tree, flowers and statue to pool and cleverly planned tiled areas of sun and shade to suit all moods. Sam has lent Doug and Jenny one of the cars to give Phil and Elaine a bit of a tour and soon it's time for them to be back on board. Lovely seeing them, though, and the weather, despite predictions, is fine.
