Quote:Monemvasia a rather splendid Greek islandI bin there. It's fab. It's not a traditional Greek island cos you can drive over to it on a causeway. Amazing place. Medieval fortress town on a steep hill perched on top of a sea cliff, mainly ruined but partially rebuilt. Spectacular.
Ah, yes, the glory days when I could afford holidays. I'll have a trip down memory lane with three bottles of retsina please. You need multiples. It takes one before you stop caring that it tastes like alcoholic toilet cleaner and two before you stop noticing. You'll need the third to use as a blunt instrument when fellower travellers try to stop you dancing on the table as the bouzouki strikes up.
(That last bit might be just me).
