>>100 miles is only 1.5 hours on country roads Terry! That is a very short weekend trip.

The same here; with 10 minutes driving to work (along that beach) ;)
But then again whole Cyprus is only 3 hours drive side to side.
Only problem is that due to split office hours (8am-1pm / 15pm-18pm) we 'commute' twice a day.


BTW There are meny UK people comming to live/work or retire here
despite nominally lower salaries comparing to UK standards.
Foreigners in general are just as much or even outnumbering locals,
most of them comming from UK.
