The pictures are lousy and nobody comments on it, but the story is there… ;)<BR/><BR/>Letitia,<BR/>We have the «Millionaire» show here. Sometimes I see, sometimes I get them all right, except when it comes to recent music groups…<BR/>Those columns were also a surprise for me!<BR/><BR/>Kalyan,<BR/>Thanks. A cultural break now and then…<BR/><BR/>Kim,<BR/>Five years in Romania and now living in Albania, you’re quite close to Crete!<BR/><BR/>Lakshmi,<BR/>Greek Islands are superb and a beautiful place to spend your holidays.<BR/><BR/>Sigma,<BR/>You’re right. The model reconstruction of the palace is incredible…<BR/><BR/>Olivier,<BR/>C’est comme ça partout en Grèce, y compris en Crète… ;)<BR/><BR/>Jo,<BR/>Thanks!<BR/><BR/>Kuanyin,<BR/>So you were in the Zeus Cave, at the Nida Plateau. Nice place to get inspired… ;)<BR/>Mahalo for taking your time to comment here!<BR/><BR/>Ming,<BR/>It’s true that usually Greece comes with blue and white, but it seems that the Minoans were keen on that warm red!<BR/>As far as visited countries, I tell you: it’s not such a small world… ;)<BR/><BR/>Lori,<BR/>Sometimes the advantage of being buried is that things are preserved… ;)<BR/>A couple of nights at the Blue Palace and you’ll never forget!<BR/><BR/>Joey,<BR/>Thanks for your visit and comment! Look forward to seeing you back!<BR/><BR/>Lyliane,<BR/>Pour une ex-future-archéologue Grèce est le pays à visiter et Crète a une belle série de locaux à voir!

Look forward for Swansea…<BR/><BR/>Noushy Syah,<BR/>The ladies in blue look typically Greek and beautiful, but the bull leaping guy is astonishing…<BR/><BR/>Chanpheng,<BR/>Thanks! Laos! I’ll check how to put it on my list…<BR/><BR/>Cabacurl,<BR/>It’s blue, clear and clean. But there aren’t such beautiful corals as one may find in the Great Barrier… ;)<BR/><BR/>Oswegan,<BR/>It is a remarkable place to see…<BR/><BR/>Alice,<BR/>Tu sais, le premier «Que sais-je?» que j’ai acheté a été «La Mythologie Grecque»…<BR/><BR/>JoAnn,<BR/>You’re right: all that art might be a bit confusing, but it’s a great experience!<BR/>Sorry for the rain. Spring will arrive also to Holland…<BR/><BR/>Paz,<BR/>Now, it’s probably a bit cold, but you may try May and after… ;)<BR/><BR/>Nihal,<BR/>Glad that you had some time to get here. It’s always a great pleasure to read your comments on my posts…<BR/>OK, Istanbul, I’ll be back. Mid-March would probably still be a bit cold, wouldn’t it?...<BR/>About the Tourism plaque, I’ll do my best… ;) and when I retire (from travelling, I mean, if ever…) I’ll try to deal with Portugal. For the time being you have only <A HREF="http://blogtrotta.blogspot.com/search/label/Algarve" REL="nofollow">Algarve</A> and that’s already a treat… ;))<BR/>Southeast corner bamboo? Noted!<BR/>Wish you a great trip to Kriti. As my holidays are technically reduced to just a long week, probably I’ll be there once again… ;)<BR/><BR/>Shooting Star,<BR/>Harrapan civilization?

Reporting.... finally I am able to be back my journal, thanks God it's Sunday:) I was reading those comments, all are certainly nice and touchy ones.. As far as yours, let me see now;)<BR/>Visiting Istanbul in february while snowing, as you did before, is not a good time planning b'cus spring-summer even autumn are the best for an enjoyable Istanbul voyage:) Yeap, you definitely have to get back in Ist'l:)<BR/>Hahahaaa... My contribution for Turkey's tourist development? So cool definition from you as ever Gil:)) Let's hope Turkish Ministry for Tourism and Culture awards me presenting a plaque;)<BR/>BTW, everyone is a self-contributor for his/her own country's tourism development, isn't it? Yes, everyone tries this and yes it does kind of help a bit or big scale:)<BR/>One exception that's of you;) You're the one who tries for the WORLD TOURISM development thru your great blog, Sir:)<BR/>In order to getting the best luck from bamboo, try for the southeast of your home. If you do that way, it works, believe me:)<BR/><BR/>Your article is great as ever Gil! As I'm an addicted to museums, al yours noted duly. Sooner or later I'll be there in Girit (Turkish) or Crete in eng., having the prints of yr travel memos in my portfolio:)Nihalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05921200854794301981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14878297.post-50440067795273907322008-03-09T13:15:00.000+00:002008-03-09T13:15:00.000+00:00I love archeology.
