Ah yes, Mykonos and Santorini really have a reputation for their beauty, Andrew. Haven’t heard of Paros though. Will have to check it out. Zakynthos is an interesting one as most of the architecture there is very new. The island was all but demolished by an earthquake some years ago. Very sad. Still, it has that classic Greek feel to it you just can’t replicate.
Yes, we’d love to explore more of Indonesia. It’s funny, these places are right on our doorstep living in Australia but I don’t think many people get there. Definitely on the list though.
Cheers – Jim

The Ionian Islands are very underrated! Thailand is also such a wonderful place, I absolutely love Krabi. If you’re into Southeast Asian islands, check out Indonesia. Plenty of underrated places in the archipelago.

Hi Mum, hi Dad! Thanks for reminding me about that! You know, I’ve learnt from that first moment in the sea. Now it takes me ages to work up the courage to go in for a dip! Especially when the water’s cold!
Love ya
Jim

Haha xx

Aitutaki is an incredible, isn’t it, Natalie? Would really like to explore some of the other islands in the Cooks. I’m glad you said you want to visit Iceland. Don’t worry what other people think – it’s a brilliant place – and quite a bit cheaper than when we were there. Hope you can get there some day!

Jim

It is SO beautiful! If I could take my dog & it had better internet access I’d be living there!

Iceland is on my list of places I dream of visiting & most people look at me as if I’m crazy when I mention it!
