Though saying that, I think 18-30 may be a bit too old for them. They prefer 12-15.Tom Stephensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05979590950587415840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-38995011755157242402011-03-19T11:08:53.991-07:002011-03-19T11:08:53.991-07:00Went to Corfu on an 18-30 holiday (yes, I really k...Went to Corfu on an 18-30 holiday (yes, I really know how to lower the tone!) Managed to appreciate the beauty of the island in spite of mucho ouzo drinking. Our attempt to get to Albania by pedalo failed (luckily) after we sank a few yards from shore.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10787732343048847565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-29063951535584686682011-03-19T10:31:41.255-07:002011-03-19T10:31:41.255-07:00on holiday in turkey my previous partner and I cam...on holiday in turkey my previous partner and I came across a village that had been totally relocated by the authorities ( perhaps you or cro could tell me why perhaps?) <br />I have a feeling that the population was greek and up-ed sticks to their homeland...<br /><br />It was a melencholey walk...almost similar to one I had when walking around the village of theresienstadt in the Czech republic<br /><br />an interesting post tomasJohn Going Gentlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14958171262765033946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-35101734205867823402011-03-19T10:00:42.782-07:002011-03-19T10:00:42.782-07:00that sounds like a fabulous holiday, Tom, in spite...that sounds like a fabulous holiday, Tom, in spite of (or even because of) the white knuckle journey along the mountain track. That would have made a brilliant photo of that little goat perched on the ledge even if it wasn't a fantastic time to shoot! Really sad about all those villagers being murdered. Perhaps the silence of the stones is as it should be!Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08604864977387798470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2505385214324438018.post-8834429236624491362011-03-19T08:51:10.681-07:002011-03-19T08:51:10.681-07:00Fascinating stuff Tom - sad about the village = th...Fascinating stuff Tom - sad about the village = there are a few places like that around and the sadness seems to be steeped into the stones.

I really regret not having spent more time there. We always hired mopeds (or took busses) to get around. I don't know which is more perilous.Cro Magnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06840670227576695352noreply@blogger.com
