Crete Brings About A Change In An Almost Implacable Holiday Habit …….

Partaking in a pre and apres dinner cocktail has always been very much part of our holidays of a foreign type nature ……. and we’ve already partaken in one or two  or three …….

So after the first flurry of holiday excitement we have all agreed that perhaps this year (at least) any liquid refreshment that comes with a sparkler, umbrella, mermaid stirrer or masochistic cherry  should be very much considered ………

…….. and as such, surprisingly, we’ve found that a simple Bacardi and coke or a half carafe of the local rose wine (at just 2.5 euros for said carafe) makes for just an equally romantic night ………

……especially when serenaded by the evocative lilt of a real life bazooka …..
