So many beaches for such a small island...it's beauty makes the tourists cry? Really?

Hi Jens, thanks for reading and the comment. We thought that the beauty of Lipe spoke for itself in the pictures, so decided to write a completely (almost) observational blog. To us, you can 'see' a place from the pictures BUT to know how a place feels or what else there is to a location/beach resort, that's where our observations come in! We don't really think of ourselves as grumpy or complainers (honestly we aren't!), our comments are not largely negative or positive, it's just what we have noticed. Part of our negativity or confusion definitely comes from our complete disconnect with how the majority of British and Europeans think, because we don't live there anymore. It's becoming increasingly hard for us to figure out why people act as they do! We remember your Pulau Kapas blog and that you raised similar points to us. We read so many blogs which gloss over any negatives and just gush about how wonderful places are, we (like you) are more advocates of a balanced opinion.
