much attention in my life!!
I find our taxi driver with my name scrawled on the back of what looks like the back of a cornflake packet and breath a Heineken sigh of relief
The taxi driver then wisks us some what dangerously to 'Hotel Spiros'
The Hotel......
We are spun around so many side streets among an unusual Greek one way system I loose my bearings, however I get a pleasant suprise, the hotel looks clean and fresh..... bearing in mind the price we paid for our package.
