I think I liked The Kite Runner best though. Have you read it?<br /><br />I'm so glad you loved Stephanie Plum! Those novels never fail to cheer me up :-)<br /><br />@ Shionge: It certainly beats looking at postcards!<br /><br />@ Kate: Never been to the Dodecanese or Samos, but I've been to Skopelos, and although it was pretty, I felt I could find similar scenery on the mainland (you really need to tour the Peloponnese some day hehe). I love the Cyclades because they're so unique - there's no other place in Europe, and possibly no other place in the world that looks anything like them.<br /><br />I'll go check your blog - I can't believe you've posted something, I thought you'd given up!Tinsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06117009077032779594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32664912.post-17550683943878437562009-09-12T21:30:09.735+01:002009-09-12T21:30:09.735+01:00The islands you mention on your blog are amazing p...The islands you mention on your blog are amazing places to visit but there are so many more like the Sporadic Islands to the North which are breath-taking, the Ionian Islands,each of which is unique in its own way, not to mention the Eptanisa and Dodecanese. Have you been to Skopelos?I love it there as well as Samos. BTW I actually posted something myself.

I absolutely loved it. <br /><br />Keep forgetting to mention how much I enjoyed Stephanie Plum, so much so that I bought a paperback (#14) immediately after finishing the first on my last trip to SD.
