Wall detail on Crete

Somewhere on Crete. We took a week off and went to Crete just as the first Gulf war got underway, and the US invaded Kuwait in order to remove the Iraqi army. The US army entered Kuwait late February 1991 and we went on holidays a few weeks later. Because of the fighting in the middle east, and especially the threat of Iraqi missiles, many people cancelled their holidays in Greece. It was tough for the Greeks, but we loved the peace and quiet, and bargains everywhere. March 1991.
