Jane and Bill's 40th anniversary. Not bad going, considering Bill's boys were in their late teens when they married. Jane sporting lovely ruby earrings this morning. Cloudy but no rain, yet at least, so we drive in to town equipped with both sunglasses and umbrellas to cover all eventualities. Coffee at the Six Brothers Restaurant. Jane inquires, and indeed five of the six brothers are still in residence. Pick up a city map from the tourist office in the old city wall and stroll along the harbour. Boats on one side and restaurants on the other, most with owners working very hard at attracting the few tourists in sight. One of several stray dogs accompanies us on our walk. Jane and I eventually successfully wooed by Habib, who not only describes his fish dishes enticingly but says they will all be deboned and the coffee and brandy will be free. So we sit on his verandah and enjoy a meal of grouper, caught off the coast of Cyprus. A bottle of bubbly in J&B's room before dinner and to the inn for dinner and a sit by the fireplace.
