Well done Pete - what a super effort!
Sorry I can't manage the whole quiz, but I'll have a go at Question 18, "How far from the sea are Eftichia's apartments?" I'll be there in just 20 days, staying with my daughter Julie and her husband Steve. When I'm asleep in the apartment I reckon I'll be about 40 metres from the sea...and I can't wait!
Looking forward to seeing all my friends again,
Don

Well done Pete - what a super effort! Sorry I can't manage the whole quiz, Don Dad - all the answers are easily obtainable, even if you haven't been to the village before, which of course you have, so there must be some way of finding out!! x x x

After certain people insinuated I cheated last time I'm not sure I even want to enter. And I'm not sure I even want to be part of the forum if some people are such sore losers. Has a certain person even considered maybe I did know the answers because I looked them up.

Hi Minime, i'm sure people were only joking ( and a little bit jealous) when you were announced as the winner, after all everyone knew 19 of the answers at the end. Your views, obsevations and comments, as someone who lives in Roda are an invaluable source of information to anyone thinking of visiting for the first time. As for the "rules" - this is something i have done before with the photo puzzles - it's just to make them last a little longer, prolong the "suspense" and give people who only have access to the site at certain times the chance to have a go. Being the reigning "riddler of the year" i have been called things like "king of the anoraks" - those of us with "the knowledge" just have to rise above it ;D ;D ;D pete.

Yeah, Minime. Don't go. People were only joking with you b4. I'm sure if the admin had thought they were being in any way serious about it, they'd have reprimanded the people involved. Please don't go.....and please take part in this one - I think I'm giving it a miss, I'm not feeling well and can't be bothered having to look up answers. My brain hurts.
