When the tourists started coming by dozens, (by hundreds, better I would say) I felt that it was time to leave the place. I then took a ferry to Santorini. marianne - Nov, 26 2007 10:11am Jorge, Even in 1973 it was very touristy so I can jusyt imagine what it is today. I was glad to see the pelican(s) in your other photos. In the old days there was just one, a tame one being fed by the tourists. Although I suppose there must have been more , seeing the population in your photos. The original one left quite a few offspring behind. jorgesanchez - Nov, 26 2007 12:11pm Marianne. Oh, what a lapsus! (small blunder). Yes, it is a pelican. I saw several of them in the port.
