Camera: Olympus Camedia C-370 Zoom (Amy's, mine will soon be on it's way Canon EOS 350D)

Hopefully a nice distraction from the heavy discussion and news going on around us at the moment.

Post your holiday snaps (those that you're not embarassed with ;) )

Here are our Turkey pictures from last month: :link: (http://blog.s1lv3r.com/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=19&page=5)

Any comments about how fat I have got will be deleted ;) :D

*yes I'm aware of this (http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/showthread.php?t=15912&page=1&pp=15&highlight=holiday+photos) thread, but it's got a dead link and therefore no photo's to bother merging it

Thanks! :) In return, a bit of advice. Don't ever buy the fish soup at The Ship Inn, Solva, even when told the chef brought the recipe back from Toulouse where he spent a whole five weeks working. Instead, query how he got the export licence for industrial effluent from the French authorities!

I see someone's been on the Thistlegorm. :tu: If you get the chance Rosalie Muller is even better - or was a couple of years ago.

Crete 2004

Was a decent enough holiday let down by the lack of things to do!

Beautiful scenery though.

I even got cultured when we visited the palace of knossos, a place I loved learning about in Greek mythology.
It was a shame we couldnt get into the labyrinth to see where the minotaur was alleged to have lived.

Holidays?What are they? :erm:
I'm wondering too :erm:

I grew up working class - holidays were day trips to Brid or Scarborough. My mum, sister, gran and I spent a week or two at a rented holiday flat in Brid - it's the longest I've been away. In my teens, I spent time with relatives and my mum and sister in Ambleside, in a caravan (joy). Never been abroad - don't really want to. I'd only end up bored. I marvel at kids today who spend weeks abroad on school trips and holidays with parents.

(one downside is the suicidal driving, make sure you get in the front of taxi's, they don't have seatbelts in the back)

Yeah I was actually talking to my sister about possibly going there as your pictures have really sold that place to me.

only a small amount of biking got done, but can do more anytime.
