Coleslaw With Prawns

November 28, 2007 Recipes

Coleslaw with Prawns After a hectic eating schedule in Greece which included a lot of rich, yummy foods I needed to get back on track with some lighter eating. Salads are a good way to do this but they don’t have to be boring by any means. They can be a decent meal themselves. Just [...]

Cafe Culture in Greece

November 21, 2007 Places

Traditional Greek coffee While in Greece I couldn’t stomach the local coffee very much. If anyone has ever tried “Greek style” coffee you’ll know what I mean.

The city of Athens…viewed from one side of the Acropolis Finally after nearly four weeks of holidays I have returned back to Australia. And I’m tired, both physically and emotionally.
