Talking Zakynthos Piccies (lots) - Shutterbug syndrome!

Well you asked for them. Firstly I ought to say that I owe Lo a huge drink as she recommended these apartments and we had a wonderful time.

This was our pool and some of the local residents. I could have shot that bloody cockrel though. Bloody going off at 4am!

It's quite a rocky island (although the beaches are lovely) so Steve spent a lot of his time bounding round the rocky bits.

Went playing in the rock pools with the fishies (did you know that if you put your feet in a rock pool for long enough fish and shrimp will start picking at your feet)

Also a couple of my lovely husband on the beach.

I don't usually like animals abroad and tend to stay away from cats especially but this one just wormed its way in. He was absolutely adorable and never troubled us for food.

Just liked sitting on our laps in the evening and falling asleep.

We called him Splitter (a la life of Brian) in that he would bugger off when a better proposition came along!

Me and my kebab. We'll never be parted!

They're great pics Dawnie. The bar elevated above Zante Town - somewhere I have a photo of me sat at the same bar I think at the same place as you!

Coo-el! Glad you had a good time, no thanks needed, really, when you have such a great holiday it's only too good to be able to recommend it to someone KNOWING that it'll be just the same (Jimmy really is a love, isn't he?)

Excellent pics (seen some of them here before me's thinks!) I bet being out there during the olympics was fantastic!

We were adopted by a cat too, a little black & white furball, who we nicknamed Skunk - here she is!!
