We met a British couple who had been coming to the island for 30 years and had stayed on 45 islands, albeit some briefly on island hopping trips. They were about our age so I doubt we'll catch them up.
   It has struck me that the exit of population from the island started about the time we made our second visit after a five year break. Amazing that the Kazoo of Doom and the Voice that talent Forgot succeeded where the Venetians, Turks and Italians failed! perhaps missing a year will help the population recover.
