Another day, another beautiful Sunset. The fun of the film festival has ended and the town has returned to a reasonably peaceful State. Expect the weekends to be the busiest times at Bars and Clubs.

The weekend saw an invasion of more Star Wars figures as they made their way through town frightening unsuspecting tourists!

Desigual also sponsored these rather strange “Bike-Shaws”…. we rekon we haven’t seen the last of these… its a great way to get people to move out of the way if the streets are busy!

Blog Action Day

Blog ACtion Day

Today is blog action day, a day when more than 15,000 blogs around the world are focussing on one of the most pressing issues facing the world today, the environment.

Love her or hate her, we choose Madonna’s video to highlight the issue of climate change…. it puts a positive spin on the doom and gloom, where each of us can make a difference. Either by recycling or changing our behaviour we can all make a difference to climate change. Everyone of us can make a difference.
