Around the toe and instep
... was a fax number. Finally someone responded to the buzzer and we were in. Another beautiful hotel in an olive grove. We walked to the pool only to discover that it was green with alge. ****!!! The owner said he was going to drain it and refill it tomorrow. He did, but its still full of alge. We went to town to find a resturant for dinner.

Observations and reflections
... rough guide only! We have learnt, if you you saunter across the road, the cars will stop! Note to self...don't do this in Brisbane!
