A TOWERING mass of wall flanked by grey bastions, a stretch of beach on whose amber sands lay a dozen or more gaily painted caiques, and a veiled shape pink from head covering to skirt edge, shuffling waterwards in canary-coloured slippers, - such were the signs, pregnant in meaning, that announced to the passengers of the Orient express they had come to their long journey's end.
