NOVEMBER WEATHER WAS... I was wrong! We have three - well, nearly... Gregory Dudu, who tells us that he is a Zimbabwean National and Chief Security Officer to President Charles Taylor and is presently on asylum in Nigeria, wants to give us 30% 0f $17 million in US dollars and diamonds (packed in a box) just for helping him liberate these funds,
which the president doesn't know he has...! To say nothing of Eric Rowe, who has been assisting and will be continuing to assist with the flower galleries - we only have a one right now but there are literally hundreds of pictures we need yet to show Eric for identification. To say nothing (!) (this time) of personal visitors to Pamela's House - the home of Cretanvista - from the UK and as far away as America. Eg. This month's picture (opposite rt) was sent by Leigh Jones from the UK - who hoped to become the first person 1. To get me in the picture and 2. To get me to publish it... Not that easy Leigh.. (not even for tea
bags!) BUT there is a way. There are five definite blanks in the photo. I will reveal the contents of 1 blank for every donation (£1 or more) made directly to Gt Ormond St Hospital for Sick Children in London, which acknowledges Cretanvista and for which donators can quote by e-mail to me their GOSH donation number. |
In the News - Cretan Bank Robbers! So what happens when one or two of these fiercely independent people decide to rob a bank owned and serving their own compatriots?...
Link to Story: Although the fire was dealt with and other ferries and coast guard vessels reached the scene quickly, rescue helicopters alerted, the real difficulty occurred when the vessel docked in Iraklion. The fire had damaged the loading and boarding ramps and no other equipment was immediately available to disembark the
passengers....
On the other hand.... There were many obviously distressed passengers in tears and some, equally obviously, very angry people.

Earthquakes.... Wobbles continue...and continue...
* Link - Expand Nea Mesimvria Report. None of these earthquakes caused damage or injuries and the rising magnitude should not be taken as an indication of increasing activity. There is constant activity in Greece and it's islands. Although at least one professor believes that there will be at least 4 major quakes in the future. Link.
A look at our earthquake page will show that there have been no serious quakes for some time - the last notable (not serious) on Crete occurring in May and June last year. No serious damage was reported. Our own page - earthquakes - will be updated shortly to include all recent 'quakes in Greece. |
Holidays in Greece sometimes go badly wrong ... Chania, Crete. |
Well, that's about it for now.....
