These are some of the pictures that were taken on the holidays!!!

Greece

A sunset; Actual size=240 pixels wide

This is the beach on Ios. The group of girls we met there and they were from London of all places. The guy was a travelling Kiwi called Simon. I think we were organising the night out when this photo was taken!

A beach house; Actual size=240 pixels wide

This is up on the hill at a restautant / bar called Harmony. We went there during the heat of the day to put back a Burrito or two, have a couple of cocktails and play a bit of chess. A pretty good slow wind up to the evening ahead.

A normal day on the beach. Sun on my back, beer in the hand and the world at my feet. I think the hangover was still working its way out with the first beer considering how "happy" I look.

This is the view of the beach from a restaurant that we would have breakfast at every day. Full English fry-up every morning to tackle the hangover.

This is the half way mark on the hill when we would walk to town to go out. We would sit here, admire the view, drink a couple of beers and then stagger on up into town.

This is the crash-site when we were on Mykonos. There was no room on the party side of the island for any amount of money, so we had to sleep on the floor in the campsite. A little windy in the night because the wind really blows there, but I don't remember that much because I was always at least partly hammered.

Switzerland

Fritz was feeling a bit "wonked out" after boarding in Gstad...above is the result!

gstad.jpg

This is the town of Gstad. Very quaint and a lot of money here. The caste with the mountain in the background kind of gives it away.

This is me on the slopes preparing to take off!!

South Africa

En-route to the transkei. Everything neatly packed away and all the cars clean.

This is the Msikaba river in the Transkei in the early morning.

A view of the beach in the morning on one of the regular walks to the river.

the_shack.jpg

This is the shack, neatly tucked away and sheltered in the seaside bush.

porch.jpg

A view of the shack from the front. The sea is behind me, so one can imagine the view when sitting on the porch.

the_fishermen.jpg

A couple of the "enormous" catches of the holiday. Actually the fishing wasn't so good, so this was the order of the day.

beach_reflection.jpg

A view over the bay in the morning with the island in the background.

camps_bay.jpg

This is the view of Camps Bay from the top of Table Mountain.

stellenbosch_golfcourse.jpg

The Stellenbosch golf course...my home course while a student!

I went to dinner with a good friend of mine, JC. This was the view we had during the evening.
