I see I missed one typo. It's cars not cards that are prevented from entering the old walled Chora! When I put the pix up eagle-eyed viewers will notice the cottage came equipped with tv (we never switched it on) and a radio/CD player which we only put on once to listen to one track of a CD left in by the cleaner. As it was Vangelis-type Greek orchestral pop we didn't continue after one track. I also made a point of sitting with my back to any bar tv showing the World Cup. Why do you think we chose to be away at that time? Herself tried to tell me what was going on but never knew who was playing. We gathered from local reaction that Greece were knocked out.
