Holidays good, though the enforced week of not working since I got back is a bit grinding (more on that later). Venice was expensive, much the same and I still love it dearly. Myknos was really nice and hotel with green and pink decorative scheme, which works better in bright sunshine than not. We basically lay about on the beach, they had loungers and you could order marghertias from the bar.
Paros awas really nice, small nonpartying, not as developed, we took a trip round the island on the first day and did a walk on the second day. Have agreed in principal to make it the lounge around on holiday place. Then on Santorini which is ancient caldera, so we went on boat trip the second day. Which meant lots of looking up very very tall cliffs to the two cities it was has arranged at the top and the restraunts stapled to the caldera side. Is impressive view but didn't enjoy it as much. they also had greek version of pompeii, but is being rejigged for better tourist access at the moment so we didn't go.
I got lots of insect bites, a sun burnt nose (lotion on rest of face just missed that bit) got whipped at chess by alan every time we played (nearly had him when he hadn't had any sleep or coffee), ate lots of soluvaki (they make it with chips here) and bought a ring and a pair of boots (yay! the ones I'd wanted at the harley shop which they didn't have).
