We were only there a few days, and I don't recall much about the place other than the event desribed above.... Some ports formed a powerful impression on my young mind...my memories of Barcelona, Piraeus, Cannes, Naples, Genoa and Venice are strong enough to remember particular details and events...but recollections of other places have sort of faded away....
And it was okay that we lost...we were seriously out-classed but gave 'em a run for their money anyway...we knew we'd been bested, though, when they started taking bites out of their beer glasses...British paras are tough cookies..
You are very welcome, Danis. It sure looks really beautiful too. Just for interest's sake (hope I put the comma in the right place there), have you ever been to Cyprus, Danis ? My dad was born there, in Kyrenia....
