Title: 12/06/17

Wednesday, 14 June (2017) indeed seems favourite guestimate for opening of "the bridge". Apparently it has a certain amount of flexibility built in to allow for earthquake movement.

Maik,

Is that flexibility in the bridge or in the timescale or both?

Maybe some of the nuts and bolts haven't been done up fully

 :pml: LOL, I meant flexibility in the structure -
 not down to loose nuts and bolts (...I hope) -
but yes, there's certainly flexibility in the opening date!

Allegedly the same official who (allegedly) said 14/06/17 is now (allegedly) saying it won't open that day.  :dunno:

Seems taxi drivers are complaining about tour offices doing 'illegal' airport/port transfers. I know it goes on, not sure how widespread it is.

Captain Corelli lives on... an old Italian sea mine from WWII was discovered earlier today off the coast between Poros and Sami.

Wonder if Nicholas Cage will come and save the day.
Actually in retrospect , sorry about that. Wouldn't want Kefalonia to have to put up with a sea mine and Nicholas Cage  ;)

Taxi drivers always have a lot to say about everything....
