Ohh...volcanic hot springs...my boyfriend and I went to a volcanically heated island in Greece a couple years ago where they cooked food in clay pots buried in the warm sand. Fabulous idea. Sadly, we didn't discover any hot springs. Sounds heavenly though.

I don't wish to bring a "downer" to your blog but it's nice to see that there is a place where rioting, looting and mindless violence is a million miles away. Your travels, blog and excellent photos offer a wonderful antidote to the madness taking place in London. All the usual reasons and excuses are being quoted here but endangering peoples lives and wrecking property is totally unjustifiable. Right now Yes I'd have my own yatch and enjoy the freedom of the open seas. London's a sad place today.

As allways wonderfull pictures making me dream a little. A lot actually. The road kinda looks like that road in Romancing the Stone, where the bus breaks down and Kathleen and Michael meet and start their adventure. Can't wait to see pictures of the new boat. Congrats and fair winds...
