... he was from the foreign press. One chap chatted for a while and asked where we were from, and when told he asked if Joh Bjelke- Petersen was still in jail!! <br><br><br>We walked along the street to Egypt Square where the current leader of the opposition (soon to be PM) spoke on a platform, and supporters of the many candidates were handing out candidates cards, like our "how-to-vote" leaflets. The candidates themselves were mingling with the ...

... colors. The village is set into the bottom of a hill and right at the coast edge and provides the most dramatic of views from the ferry as it makes its way in and out of the port. Although there is a nice quiet beach in Adamas itself the best of the islands beaches are on the south coast, Yarakas and Provatas.

I know that the landing is statistically the most dangerous part of the flight. But, my thinking is that the flight is almost at an end, and I want to see the final destination.
