June 21st - 7th July Pefkohori in Halkadiki From start to finish this holiday was great. I hope all the pics do it justice. It was beautiful. Our hotel was at the top of a very steep hill (transport was provided to get you up and down) because of this ...

... thing is I am a box ticker, a list maker if you will. I have a list for everything! An inventory list for backpacking holidays and an alternate one for any holidays which require a pulley suitcase instead! You think this sounds OCD.... but on my iPhone I ...

... Hotel, found out the hotels were not filled.     6 May, 2008 May 5th is not celebrated like some of the other holidays. The hotel room was on the third floor and had a balcony with a great view. Because of the haze in the air you could not see ...

... they passed. Yes, it is hot, but why so many Buenos Aires types think this is the place to come for their summer holidays is a little beyond me. Go find somewhere secluded in Uruguay, or go to an island in Rosario where the water is actually warm. Crazy. ...
