Hi Paul,  You forgot us you bastard.  John and Nicky - Laskarina Travel.  I see you posted this a year ago - I hope you heard back from a few people.  Nicky and I are going back September 13th 2011 for 7 days with two of our kids.  It will either be brilliant or very disappointing but we can't wait.  Not sure where to get pissed first.  We still keep in touch with Jap John.  Halby and Chester are still teaching people to ski. Hope you see this and drop me a line.  Cheers John.

Do any of you remember a few of these names? Nick Henderson from NZ, Derek Walker from South Africa,Graham Borthwick and tall Lyndsay from Glasgow. Cant remember the years i was there, 18-30s were using the place. It was the year of the heatwave when all the people were dying in Athens. Denzil was as grumpy as ever running one of Takis cleaning gangs and Robbo ran ours. We all lived in the staff villa up behind the office. I swam from Spetses to Costa and back to raise money for some disabled kids who used to visit the island. We (workers) used to drink at a bar out of town, past the college, where two guys (english) used to play the guitar and sing. We had a head boy and a head girl, we did a 3 legged pub crawl, 1 male and 1 female and you had to go to the toilet together!! I used to have some photos but lost them. We also used to drink in the roof bar of Takis hotel. The one that wasnt over 3 storeys high. The one that caught fire i just remember. An English couple sailed in an old trawler to Spetses with their two kids. It sank as soon as it arrived in the old harbour. The couple split up, but lived upstairs and downstairs in the house. The son was called Toby.
