Best of Europe



From James Martin, your Guide to Europe Travel
I'm on this travel quote kick lately. There are some good ones out there. Here's one from James A. Michener: "If you reject the food, ignore the customs, fear the religion and avoid the people, you might better stay at home." Remember this as we explore the island of Madeira, which has recently suffered some horrendous weather, and the wines of Greece, which have recently undergone quite a Renaissance.

Madeira Map and Travel Guide
Madeira is a very interesting European island in the mid Atlantic off the coast of Africa that you might want to consider after the recent and quite excessive rain water runs into the sea. Take a Lavada Walk along carved water channels, see the rare and unique Modeiran long-toed pigeon in the world heritage Laurel forest, golf, surf, eat...

Eating Blind in Brussels

If eating blind and getting slathered in chocolate doesn't do it for you, maybe a visit to Juliet's balcony will get your romantic instincts all knotted up.
