Wow!
Now I finally know what Greek Islands are like. It is fun to smash things isn't it! The unknown of travelling seems very exciting. Great photos. I'm getting another 7 hrs work, another Koori playgroup soon and the bookshop is finishing in May and Lesley is startig a gift shop business in Port where she'll give me work. So I'll be able to save. I'm thinking about a holiday in either Perth, Darwin or Tasmania some time this year. You've definately given me the bug. How's the zippers going? Lots of love Mum.

Where is beer on the food pyramid?
Say it Frenchy! Say Jai-Roes! Pics of Santorini got me this time, I was just sitting here wishing I could drive some golf balls of the balconies of some of those buildings. Awesome to see you're enjoying some of the authentic Greek lifestyle as well. Cheers big ears

Meep meep.
Great photos man, I'd forgotten about the Gyros, they were awesome! And what's this about a photo request? I reckon you need a beeralog, photos of beer in front of things around the world, preferably the favoured local beer.
