Our daughter lives in Spain nowadays. She’s got herself a Spanish boyfriend and we longed to visit them in Tui (in Galicia), where he lives with his family. Tui has a legendary origin. It is situated on a hill and next to the Portuguese border by the River Mino. There’s so much to discover in this province of Spain which is not yet discovered by tourists. Cities like Pontevedra, Vigo and Santiago de Compostela (famous for it’s Cathedral) are worth visiting, even on a rainy day! This area of Spain is rich with mountains and has many brooklets and streamlets with attractive cascades. But you have to be early in the season to enjoy this. Also it has nice beaches at the west-coast.
Close to Antalya in Turkey lays Lara beach. This beach is famous for it’s array of holiday resorts. Well known are e.g. Titanic, World of Wonders and Green Palace. Miracle resort was good value for money. The rooms are spic and span and very large. Also the bed is very big! Restaurant, food and drink are all OK. One drawback is that the animation team is making a lot of noise and play loud music most part of the day at the pool. We had to flee to the beach if we wanted some peace. If you like to see it from Google Maps, then here’s a link to it’s location, but the image looks rather old, since the hotel is not yet finished on the satellite image. And of course, a photo gallery is available to give you an impression of this beautiful resort. Everybody seems to be smoking in Turkey, and they do that everywhere; even in the restaurants! It would be nice if non-smokers got a better position in this country.
[May 2006] In most places in Europe it seems summer is making a slow start. Not in Greece. Temperatures above 35 Celsius in Parga. We had the privilege of attending a Greek Wedding of Evangelos Alexopoulos and Heidi de Groot in Karditsa. We drove from Parga to Karditsa through the Greek mountains, which was fantastic. Also the wedding was wonderful. I have pre-picked a few thumbnails from a large collection of photo’s I have taken.
