Agreed. They've all been pretty good in Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean.

Here you go Bijou, a set of 4 pages from my Shuin-cho collection. The double-pager is fairly unique most are just a single page. by the way, the shuin-cho books open out like a concertina...

Delayed honeymoon starts tomorrow. A two-week cruise in the Mediterranean visiting many places in Italy, Greece and Southern France. Since it is currently snowing here I'll be glad to be off.

I was really suprised by Madeira. Loved the place. Quiet, up market and some excellent restaurants.

Off today. I won't ask Hoboh what to do if we come across overcrowded boats of refugees. I think I know his answer. Arrivederci for a couple of weeks.
