Re: Rhapsody of the sea part one
On holiday in Crete (lovely people and great food) many years ago, I hired a car and took the family for a drive along the Northern Coast. Came across this fabulous beach so we decided to stop and bathe in the sea and have some nosh. The girls were very young at the time and we had a good swim in the sea with them enyoying there paddling in the warm waters. We settled down to eat some snacks brought from beach vendors and do a bit of bronzy. Next thing hordes of Germans arrived and threw down their towels near us (miffed that I had got there first and nabbed the best spot). All the women stripped off topless, which was nice in the odd case but most of them like spaniels ears. The worst one though was the fat, hairy German male who proceeded to strip down to the most tiny, ill fitting thong ever sold. All his bits hanging out and if you were that way inclined you could have counted the hairs on his bum hole. Despite most of them near us being very friendly and them trying to strike up a conversation with us, the sights of all the naked flesh, both male and female, with their bits on full display, was enough for me and the wife so we beat a hasty retreat. It was only as we were driving away from the beach that I noticed the sign that warned people the beach was a naturalist beach and got an earful from wifey saying I had deliberately taken us there just so I could ogle naked females, as if. Had nightmares over what we had seen for the next couple of nights.

Re: Rhapsody of the sea part one
There is nothing worse than a bunch of fat ugly germans cavorting on a beach with it all hanging out.
I Never go to europe for that reason.
.....BUT
I went all the way to the South Pacific Islands and what did I see ??
a bunch of fat ugly germans cavorting on all the beaches with it all hanging out.
A cruise ship from Hamburg, Amadeus, full of them followed us from Panama all the way through the islands to New Caledonia, every pacific island they were there.
There should be a law keeping them behind their borders.
Cheers

Re: Rhapsody of the sea part one
I have spent a lot of time in Greece , in the Mani peninsular . Talking to an older local one day , he said they were notthat frightened by the Germans in the War with machine guns ( the Mani people live a mountain exixtance and are a bit tough in general ) , but the buggers have returned with concrete mixers now and that scared the hell out of the locals
