I loved Zanzibar. I would not consider it to be the most beautiful, though. There are so many lovely islands on our planet with much more diverse landscape. My favourite island is Madagascar. But I have never been to New Zealand and from what I see on the pictures, the South Island might actually be the closest to perfection. :)
And I loved Cuba as well! If I were to single out another island it might be Tenerife, actually.

Hi, I hope you had a good holiday.
I have not yet decided what to do with the groups I moderating. There are not that many active members yet to warrant much group activity. I have created two groups (Sailing, Diving) to channel discussions into a more focused fora, but I am not sure there are that many members with those interests.

Hello Marianne. Thanks for all your kind comments to my reports. I can see you are moderating the Travel Writing group. Excellent! Kindest regards, Krys

Really? I don't know that ria is a dutch name. Well i was quite shocked when i read it. Maybe because there was a connection between indonesia & dutch in the past. I believe there are some indonesian people in dutch.

[quote]I agree about Lisbon and, on the whole about the Algarve, although I rather liked Tavira and would suggest anybody forced to use Faro airport should spend the night in Tavira rather than Faro.[unquote]
Fully with you on that tip David. We were there at Tavira too and I shall update with pics on that fishing village. From Tavira, with a rented car... one can cruise easily along the highway into Spain and back to the other tip of Portugal in under a jiffy like 2-over hours, we luv the Algarve and recommend others to do try out that stretch.
But here I am, wanting to say and send my greetings from a little up by the sea front from the Hague.
My amazement at the many places you were at and still going strong with your the energy you have... I am going to read which I am certain, will be a thrill to admire your coverage on places that I can understand better and become prepared for our forthcoming journeys after your "voetsporen".
It really was an interesting place to visit. I only explored the old town with its cobble streets, old stone houses and rebuilt mosques and was fascinated by that. But the town has grown and if I had time would have liked to see a little more although it wasn't as picturesque.
The only thing I didn't mention was that there were a lot of beggars just outside the old town, which was a little scary.
