Having been nearly killed by drunken drivers twice last year, (coming out of fields in their double cabins complete with families and furniture in the back) I think I'll walk to the local pub and get drunk myself.

This was supposed to be a holiday about eating vegetables not drinking! How comes and every holiday ends up being about drinking? :?

So, one person climbed onto my roof to recover their kite, one major crash between Coral Bay and Paphos, one major fist fight between two groups of 'ladies' and I was stopped for Drink/Driving (hadn't touched a drop), so quite a normal Green Monday really :-)

I was amazed how many Benjamin Franklin fathers there was. Flying there kites over power lines, while there wife and children also holding the line.
Wondering if physics is something they learn in school here in Cyprus :(
