Thread Name: BS: Pre-postcard from Dendros
Subject: RE: BS: Pre-postcard from Dendros
michaelr, I see from re-reading some of my past Postcards that I have overestimated the number of islands. Put it down to faulty maths, mis-typing or too much ouzo! We first went to Greece in 1982 and visited 3 islands and Athens. Our total over 31 years is 31 islands stayed on in 41 holidays. One island 11 time with no. 12 coming up, and three twice. We hope to keep adding new islands but as one authority claims there are 777, with over 200 inhabited, I don't know how many more we can get to before travel insurance becomes too expensive because of our (well, my) age and how long I will be fit enough to drag cases on and off ferries. Also looking at past postcards I see I repeat myself quite a lot. When you've been somewhere 11 or 12 times, it is difficult to find something new to write about but we'll see. Usually something amusing or bizarre happens. Thanks for your encouragement. RtS
