Been There, Done That, and Loved Every Single Minute of It-Part I, Europe
Blog: EZGuler - 15 August 2009

There must be other words to describe these compact, efficient lists without having to resort to the boring, age-old "Top Ten List" apendage. Plus, what if I want to offer more than just 10? So here I go, with photographic lists of places and events I feel are worth putting the effort and time into capturing while you are traveling.

How to make delicious Greek stuffed tomatoes
Blog: Heather on her travels - 23 July 2009
Today I ate the most delicious stuffed tomatoes, aubergine and peppers, with a filling of rice, herbs and local Greek cheese. They were cooked by Katy, my sister’s Greek mother-in-law, who we all know as Yia Yia (which means granny in Greek). I’m sure you’d like me to pass on the recipe, but it’s a [...]

Blog: Heather on her travels - 22 July 2009
The waterpark on Zakynthos (Zante) could be the place for a day out if you’re looking for a change from the mini-golf, the poolside snackbar and the fluorescent pink lilo in the pool.
