Sergeant Cook and his fellow POW's had hatched a daring plan.
"OK Private Moff while Mrs F and I busy ourselves with digging this ear escape tunnel with a teapoon, its up to you to get rid of the evidence."
With trouser legs bulging with the fill from the tunnel the young soldier wandered the excercise yard spreading the gravel round as evenly as possible so the watchful guards were unaware of hut 328's clandestine activities.
6pm time for a quick pink gin in the mess hut and bingo! everyone down the tunnel to sample the freedom of proper Greek food.
We just could not take another dreadful meal in the hotel so we made a break for the old town where we had a cold meze plate with tzatziki, taramousalata, vineleaves, sausage, salad, olives and a delicious 4 cheese and chile dip, followed by baked aubergine with minced meat for Moff and Mrs F and a delicious beef stiffado with whole onions for me.
The restaurant Taberna Kvpia Maria was down a small street just off Moshovito and our meal was accompanied by the songs of the caged birds overhead.
When we finished we were treated to fruit, cheese pies and a little flask of raki, all for 39 Euros very nice indeed.
Real Greek food is fantastic and I am resolved never to go on a holiday to Greece on half board terms again.
