It is nice for a country to have a few hidden gems.

That little girl came running right up to us with the biggest smile on her face, I don't think she wanted us to leave, I think maybe she wanted us to stay and play with her. : -)Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-30425127580060306362014-02-27T09:38:21.237-05:002014-02-27T09:38:21.237-05:00Yep, this trip wouldn't have been the same if ...Yep, this trip wouldn't have been the same if it wasn't for meeting all these fantastic people along the way and I am sure that we will stay in contact with many of them over the years to come.

It is a beautiful area and my family and I have spent many memorable holidays in the area. Wonderful sea and surf fishing with magnificent walks along the white sandy beaches.
