If you have a sick friend it is nice if you can spare the time to look after them, do their shopping, babysit the kids or even pay to have the carpet cleaning done.  As well as bring gift baskets filled with their favourite goodies, just spending time with them is often helpful.

Cook Dinners

If you have a friend who has been home sick for a while it is a nice idea to make them some dinners that they can freeze and simply reheat when they need them.  When anyone is unwell the best thing they can do to build up their strength and help their immune system is to eat good healthy food but often when you are sick you can’t really find the energy.  Cooking them some meals is also greatly appreciated by someone who has a family.

Babysit

If your friend has children a great thing to do is to offer to babysit.  This way they can get some rest and try and get their strength back.  It is difficult when you are a mother and you get sick because often you can’t stop your usually daily tasks because you have to continue to look after the kids.  Take the pressure off and offer to watch them for a few hours.

Cleaning

It can make you feel even worse when you are sick if the housework starts getting out of hand.  Offer to go around for a few hours and tidy up, put away the children’s toys, do the dishes, put on a load of washing and run the vacuum around.

Shopping

It can be impossible to get out of the house when you are ill and if you friend doesn’t have a partner or they work late it can be hard to do the food shop.  Get them to write you a list of the things they need and go and do the food shopping for them.

Company

Something that sick people often appreciate more than anything is a bit of company, especially if they have been home sick for a while.

Gardening

It can help a great deal if you get out in their garden and do a bit of weeding, mow the lawn and tidy up.  It can give you a sense of helplessness when you can only stare out the window at the overgrown grass and having someone able to stay on top of it for you will put you in a much better mood.  If your friend is well enough to sit outside it will be much more pleasant if the garden is tidy.

Gifts

If you are visiting someone who is ill always go baring gifts, it will cheer them up no end.  A gift basket full of pampering products is a real treat for someone who is not feeling well or a gift hamper filled with all the favourite foods is nice too.

Entertainment

If your friend has been home sick for a while it is likely they are beginning to get bored.  Go around and hire some new release DVDs or take some magazines or books to read.

Discussing about fashion is the most exciting thing, chiefly for women. There will be a certain admiration for us if we wear or we look someone else wearing the perfect clothes that truly suit their body and reflect their personality. Of course, each person has their own sense of fashion. It will be reflected in their way and style of wearing clothes, whether going outside or at home. So, you need to Keep in mind that fashion sense is something that you can not simplify it as the same standard between people. Having different style is a usual thing, right?

The Fashion Style: Goth and Emo

In the present world of fashion, there is a popular trend among teenagers and kids called Goth or Emo. Some of you may not familiar with it. Emo refers to emotional; something that represents the teen angst and non-conformity. The characteristic of this style is torn fishnet stockings, the black clothes, and also black hair and makeup. Wanna try this fashion style? That will be unique anyway. However, other people do not feel convenient with this style. So, they can try a less dramatic style.

What about Preppy?

The next fashion style is called preppy. It is signed by the clean cut look that is popular among a lot of college age kids and some adults. It will symbolize that you care about your appearance and that you are meticulous with your clothes. Usually, the clothing is pressed, very neat and always clean.

we’re know that shopping are such as nice activity especially to the women. a moment ago, i found nice articles about shopping and fashion in milan, you can read the complete articles below :

As anyone who has been fortunate enough to visit Milan will tell you, the city is not all fashion. There are several old and new stores worth the visit for those interested in classic menswear.

By reputation, the city’s three stand-out establishments for tradition and quality are Bardelli, Neglia and Tincati. However, each offers something quite different – as I discovered recently.

Neglia is the destination for Milanese men looking to the best in English and American imports. So the shoes are Church’s and Edward Green, the umbrellas and the bags from Brigg, the suits in the window from Ralph Lauren, and half of the ties from Drake’s. So while there are also top-class Italian names like Brioni and Kiton, and Neglia’s new and expanded own-label suits, the shop does not offer much to the international visitor that he can’t get elsewhere. The one exception is probably Incotex trousers – their cords pictured below.

M Bardelli is very different. One of the oldest men’s clothing establishments in Milan, it could safely claim to be the definition of Milanese style – classic, formal, with heavy English influences. Particularly prevalent (this season at least) are sports jackets in grey and brown checks and strongly striped shirts. As well as woollen ties in club stripes, which are ubiquitous for Autumn/Winter in Milan. While not necessarily inspirational, it is the base from which Milan can be understood.

Tincati is smaller, more refined and idiosyncractic. Very lightweight raincoats, woven belts and soft thin knitwear, it also has a dedicated area at the back from bespoke orders. Certainly worth a look.

Of more modern, quirky establishments, Al Bazar is the standout. Located outside the centre (a couple of streets from Bardelli), it is a treasure trove of items collected under the aesthetic of one man – Lino Leluzzi. More on Al Bazar on Permanent Style next week.

The greatest joy, however, is discovering less well-known shops. Like Piombo, just off the Golden Triangle, which had the most lovely unlined, washed cashmere green blazer (and one of their colour combinations is below). Or Rivolta, the old Milanese shoemaker that has recently relaunched with a model for making bespoke shoes purely off an electronic scan of your feet (a longer feature, again, is on Permanent Style). Larusmiani is also worth a look. It is an ultra luxurious menswear store on Via Montenapoleone that reminds me of Kiton before it grew. An old name in Milan, it is surrounded by fashion houses but retains a very particular character.

Anything else worth mentioning? The Etro sale store on Via Spartaco (50% of this season, 75% of the last); absolutely gorgeous and well-cut knits at Red and Blue, which looks more like it is called Fedeli (the brand of clothes sold); and Doriani for similar knitwear reasons. Oh, and go have lunch in the café at Corso Como (below), then wander around the shop inside – a great menagerie of brands.

It was also two days, but it feels like there’s so much more to tell.

we hope you are enjoying that shopping and fashion articles above, the articles are taken from here :

i found this interesting articles about shopping and copy it to you readers, just enjoy it…

In this increasingly globalized world, shopping for something unique has become harder: the jacket you spotted in a Budapest Zara shop will invariably pop up for sale in Senayan when you return from holidays to Jakarta, both labeled “Hecho en China”, or made in China.

The famous Oxford Street in London is no exception, bustling with shoppers carrying Marks & Spencer, FCUK, or Top Shop bags. Many of the shops in London can also be found in Jakarta and almost all the brands exist somewhere else in the world.

Yet, there are still some corners of London where the odd pieces of clothing can be purchased, with independent shops thriving with items crafted by young British designers. Brick Lane is one of those areas.

During my visit, sponsored by Air Asia X and Visit Britain, a group of Southeast Asian journalists including myself were taken to Brick Lane, also known as London’s curry capital or Banglatown for its Bangladeshi shops selling curry. The area has become the epicenter of the Bangladeshi community in London, with Bengali street signs planted next to English ones.

An old large building – that used to be the Truman Brewery – stands out from the rest of the street as it is packed with independent shops. “The Truman Brewery has been an important creative and cultural hub,” said Kevin Caruth, a guide from Urban Gentry, a company specializing in tailor-made visits of London.

One shop at the old brewery sells clothing made out recycled material. You can make a one-of-a-kind item from one of your old garments; just bring it to the shop and the designer will make it into a new item for you. Other shops sell vintage clothing.

According to Kevin, many shops in the area encourage young designers to display their collections there by offering affordable rental rates, also allowing talent scouts from major chains to find budding designers. Success stories include designers from independent shops ending up having their own lines of clothing in major chains like Top Shop, said Kevin.

Besides Brick Lane and the Truman Brewery, East London has several neighborhoods boasting dozens of independent shops. Socially aware shoppers can buy a wedge card from www.wedgecard.co.uk for 10 pounds (Rp 160,000), of which 5 goes to a local charity. The card allows you to support local shops while obtaining special offers and discounts from over 150 businesses in the East End.

Apart from shopping, East London is also increasingly known as an art space, with many galleries, museums and shops selling art books. Dozens of the area’s galleries host cultural events and contemporary art exhibitions. For more information, visitors can go to commentart.com, a website managed by a group aiming to create “greater appreciation of, and enthusiasm for, contemporary art and culture”.

However, East London shops mostly attract young people in their teens to those in their early 30s with particular fashion tastes. Those who prefer mainstream fashion are more likely to find shops they like on Oxford and Bond Street.

Another option for shopping is Bicester Village, a shopping area for discounted, branded items, located an hour’s drive from London or a 15-minute drive from Oxford.

Bicester Village has 120 shopping outlets of prominent fashion brands from Alexander McQueen, Hugo Boss, Wolford, to Anya Hindmarch, Furla and Tumi, offering all year round goods often discounted up to 60 percent.

Naturally, many Asian tourists flock to the village.

“Tourists from China are on our top 10 list of customers, as well as from Malaysia and Indonesia,” said Anna Keddie, marketing director at Value Retail, the company promoting Bicester Village.

The village is one of nine “Chic Outlet Shopping” centers in Europe and the only one in the UK. Because all the villages derive part of their income from tourists, they give the latter easy access to VIP Club memberships which give shoppers additional discounts or other perks at most of the shops.

I really think shopping should be considered a sin. I have seen some of the expressions of the ladies I have bee out with and I would actually akin it to a ecstasy, a passionate feeling that they experience every time they enter a retail shop, spot a bargain, spy some shoes which look the same to any other guy or when they hear the familiar sound of a receipt being printed and the credit card company adding another line to their monthly bill. This is a feeling most of the guys in the world cannot understand and will never understand. When we have to pay, we feel pain, nausea and sometimes a need to find a dark hole to hide in as the bags seem to pile up and the pain in your arm gets more acute. This is why Singapore should be described as the secret heaven of all ladies who delight in retail. The delights of shopping in Singapore and her wealth of shopping centers and shopping directories that would make mapmakers of the globe shudder in fright are both legendary and on the tips of the lips of every traveler who comes to Singapore to experience this mad craze – crowned off by the great Singapore sale and other mini bargain seasons that seem to crop up just as pay day rolls by.

If Singapore could be described as a maze then it is somewhere that the ladies and anyone who is passionate about shopping would love to get lost in. On last count there are more than 200 major shopping malls and centers all over the island, from massive redoubts and golden palaces of retail opportunities to the more humble buildings that are scattered along the many suburbs and quaint little towns all over Singapore. I mean, Mustaffa Shopping centre is an example why I tink shopping should be declared as sin as many ladies after a night out of disco and cocktails top off the night with a champagne and a trip to the largest 24-hour shopping centre in Singapore. While this is not a typical list a guy would draw up as a good time on a Friday night, this is the extent of the shopping culture in Singapore. Orchard Road has more than 2, 000 local and international brands in buildings of old and new, some of which reach to the skies. A bus full of ladies in a bus riding past orchard will always make an excuse to stop by and experience the delights it has to offer. It is an addiction to retail, a drug induced stupor, lightheadedness and a buoyant mood everytime they start shopping around.

What’s more is that they get treated like royalty in Singapore. Shopping centers are designed to make their retail experience as fluid and as velvety as possible. Well trained concierge staff, retail staff and cashiers who seem to have a smile transfixed on their face and a warm greeting always on the tip of their tongue are predominant in many of these department stores. Shopping is a delight in Singapore – simply because this country has been designed to give such pleasures.

People have the impression that Singapore is all serious about business. This is partly true since the government and its people treasure business and development. And this is the reason why a number of economic infrastructures were put into place right after the city-state gained its independence from Federation of Malaysia. But it isn’t just in business that the city-state of Singapore is known for. The state is also known for travelling, for shopping and its culture and the arts.

The state is heaven for those looking for authentic Malay and Asian cuisine and a shopping heaven as well for the lovers of shopping and sales courtesy of the great Singapore sale that happens every now and then. First up is travel; and the state is also fast-becoming as a popular travel destination for most weary and tired tourists and those who seek some adventure. In fact, with the popularity of the state as a travel spot the tourism industry of the state is one of the largest industries. Based on some estimates that are available, the number of tourist that visited the state in 2006 was 9.7 million. That’s a lot of people who considered a Singapore travel. Actually this kind of industry not only benefits the weary traveler who might want to take a respite from day to day activities. The travel industries also does its share in making the state more progressive as it creates more job opportunities.

When the discussion is all about Singapore and the travel spots in Singapore, then the name Orchard Road isn’t far behind. Orchard Road is called as the shopping district or the shopping spot of the state. This spot draws not only shoppers but tourists as well. And in order to boost the arrival of tourists in the state, the government of Singapore decided to open up the economy and decided as well to legalize gambling in the form of casinos. The casinos that are opened in the state are called Integrated Resorts and these resorts are seen and developed at the Marina South and the Sentosa. Since the state faces stiff competition from its neighbors, the government as well announced that the city area and all the buildings within the vicinity will be lighted up. The result was a vibrant skyline at nighttime.

A visit to the state will not be complete if the visitor don’t experience the totality of Singapore living. The cuisine of the state should be tried as well. The food in the state is a perfect example of diversity of culture since the food of the state is a mixture of Chinese influences, Indian, Tamil and Malay. The halal foods that are served and sold by hawkers are must-try for first time visitors. The government sees the potential of the Singaporean cuisine and this is the reason why the state promotes this aspect as well.

It’s clear that the city-state isn’t only about business and about the growing economies. The state has a fun part as well and visitors can sample the cuisine and take a trip down Orchard Road for a Singapore shopping experience.

is possibly one of the most enchanting island on earth. One of more than 13.000 islands in Indonesia, and Bali is revered as one of the world’s most popular and interesting tourist destination.

Some quick facts: Bali covers an area of 5620 km2, about 140 km from West to East and 80 km from the South to North. The South part consists of lime stone with beautiful soft white sand along the beach, while the East, West and North are mostly volcanic layers with black soft sand beach.

Bali has a tropical climate with the average temperature of about 30 degrees C (80 degrees F) all year. It has only 2 seasons, dry season started from April to October and wet season from October to April. It is always nice and cool in the hillside while though hot around the coastal area but there are still nice breeze all the time. The dry season is always sunny with great view of sunset and sunrise, while the wet season is not too wet because there is still much sun to enjoy during the day time.

Here are eleven things one must see if you are in Bali.

1. Barong Dance – This is approx. 1 hour long religious dance representing the eternal fight between the good – Barong and the evil symbolized by a horrible looking witch called Rangda. The costumes and set are elaborate and nice. The trick is to get there early, so that you get front seats and be close enough to see the facial expressions of the dancers
2. Celuk (Gold & silver smith), Mas (wood carving) and Stone carving villages – You would drive past these 3 villages and see the array of shops selling the gold, wood and stone. As you get into Celuk, all the gold and silver smith shops flank the roads, you can also drop by their factory to take a look at the production process. The same goes for the wood carving and stone carving
3. Mount Batur (Kintamani) – This is the second largest active volcano in Bali. It is 1,717 meters from sea level, and bears the remains of the black lava from it’s eruption in 1917 and 1927. There is a nice scenic crater lake there. You can do buffet lunch at one of the restaurant and admire the breath-taking view as you eat. The buffet lunch cost about S$10 and has reasonable spread
4. Trita Empul – Tirta Empul means ” bubbling water ” and is a holy water temple built in 960 AD. The temple is beautiful temple and has holy water fountains for different purposes of purification and blessing. There were people in the fountains doing their purification when I was there. Further inside the temple area, you can see the source of the water – a spring where water is bubbling up through the black sand. A total make of nature. Legend has it that one of the gods shot an arrow from heaven to look for water, and the spot where the water is bubbling up now is the exact spot where the arrow hit
5. Goa Gajah – Means “elephant cave”. Found in 11th century, this cave was dug in the peaceful riverside valley in a hard sand stone. Entering the inside T-Shape cave, there are some niches used by Buddhist Monks for meditation. Among the many historical remains found around this cave is the holy Ganesh Statue (a human body with elephant head) which is believed as the God of Purification and Evil Controller. The cave can be quite claustrophobic for some people but is well worth a quick look inside
6. Sebatu Holy Spring Temple – Is named ” Gunung Kawi ” in Balinese. It is a very beautiful village temple located in a peaceful valley with its holy spring. Somewhat similar to Trita Empul, there are large fountains outside the temple area, where villagers use to take a bath. However, my driver told me that this place is not as ‘holy’ as Trita Empul
7. Taman Ayun – Is the largest Royal Family Temple Complex built in 1934 in the village of Mengwi, Badung Regency. The area of this temple is surrounded by moat with some water lilies and lotuses. The place is still used during prayer sessions and important ceremonial events
8. Tanah Lot – One of the most famed temple in Bali. Tanah Lot means ” the land of ocean” is a fascinating Hindu Temple built on a piece of cliff in Indian Ocean shore. This temple is dedicated to the God of Ocean “Baruna” built by a high Hindu Priest name Dang Hyang Dwijendra in the 16th century. During high tide, the cliff is surrounded by water and the temple looks like it is floating. In the bottom part of the cliff there is a fresh water holy spring while on the beach cave there are some holy snakes that guard the temple. In the South and North part of the temple is absolutely beautiful view and best for watching sunset
9. Uluwatu Temple – Also built by the same Hindu Priest who built Tanah Lot, Uluwatu temple is also another magnificent temple built perched on a cliff. The whole temple stretches across a large area and it is flanked by the fabulous India Ocean. Here, you also see large numbers of monkeys, mostly mischievous ones, who snatches food from visitors
10. Lake Beratan & Pura Ulun Danu – Beratan is a name of the Lake and Village. There is a spectacular floating temple called “Ulun Danu Temple” and is an absolutely interesting sight. The weather at the lake is cool, which is a nice break from the mostly hot sun during my trip. There were people who hired a traditional paddle boat or speed boat to go around the lake, although my driver said there really is nothing much to see around the lake
11. Jatiluweh – A place where you see lots of terraced rice paddy fields. The sights are breathtaking as you see the green terrace, meandering around you. This place is supposed to one of the few in the world that has such nice terraced paddies. Those terraces are probably cut decades ago, and now resulting in the fascinating view today.

1) Beach & Surf
Bali is well known for its pristine white beaches and secluded coves, the most famous beaches being in Nusa Dua where long stretches of soft white sand will soothe and comfort the soles of your feet. Many hotels have their own private stretch of beach with a Beach club or restaurant along. Kuta and Uluwatu are areas in South Bali well known for their good surf which makes Bali one of the most popular surf destinations in the world.

2) Padi fields
The beautiful terraced green padi fields are another must see for a visitor to the island of Bali. Many tourists will automatically head to Ubud, about 45 minutes from Bali Airport to stay in a hotel and villa overlooking the padi fields. The best padi field scenery is at Jatih Luwih and Tegallalang which are not far from Ubud.

3) Galleries and Museums
Beautiful paintings can be found in Ubud, home of many of Bali’s well known and aspiring artists. The peaceful scenery and tranquility of the area must be an inspiration for the remarkably detailed paintings these artists create and whose works are displayed in the numerous art galleries and museums found in Ubud village. Some of the more well known galleries are The Agung Rai Museum of Art, Neka Museum, Antonio Blanco Renaissance Museum, Komaneka Gallery and Seniwati Gallery of Art by Women just to name a few.

4) Dance and Music
Dance and music plays a very important part of the life of a Balinese. Every ceremony and festival is almost always accompanied by traditional dance and the soothing sounds of the Gamelan. You will find many locations in and near Ubud where you can watch these dance performances. Dancers wear glittery and colourful costumes, executing to perfection elaborate hand movements and facial expressions to convey stories of the Ramanaya.  You can watch the elegant Legong Dance at the Ubud Palace in central Ubud, or see other entertaining performances such as the Warrior Dance and Kecak Dance at other locations within the town.  Wayang Kulit, or Shadow Play performances are also a common evening entertainment for the local Balinese and tourists alike.

5)  Yoga and Spa Treamtents
There is a growing number of world class spa facilities and health resorts in Bali especially in the Ubud area. Using natural herbs and indigenous products, you will have a wide variety of spa treatments to choose from and enjoy. Spa treatments are ideal for relaxation and what every person who needs a break from this fast paced world of work, family and stress will surely appreciate.  A variety of massages using traditional, Aryuvedic, Shiatsu and hot stones are on the menu for you to choose from. Traditional treatments such as Boreh and Lulur are common. Facials, foot massages, healthy meals and private spa facilities are also available at some hotels and salons. Holistic resorts offer yoga programs and have resident teachers who will guide you to peace of mind.

6) Festivals and Ceremonies
Religion plays a central role in the life of every Balinese family. The island has hundreds of temples, for which each and every one has a temple anniversary, known as Odalan. On this day, the villagers visit the temple for prayers and socializing. It can be considered a community event to bring the people together and promotes good feelings between villagers. With the Balinese Hindu religion comes many daily practices such as placing offerings such as trays of flowers called Canang Sari in temples, shrines and symbolic locations to ward off evil and please the Gods. Nyepi Day, which is the Balinese New Year is a day that is spent in silence in reflective prayer and meditation. The days before Nyepi however provide many opportunities for a tourist to witness ceremonies and rituals including the noisy and colourful Ogoh-Ogoh procession which happens one day before Nyepi, on Melasti Day. This procession is a colourful display of the creativity of the Balinese where towering papier mache ‘monsters’ are paraded through the town in noisy processions in efforts to chase away any evil.

Galungan is another major festival for the Balinese which at the end of 10 days is marked by Kuningan Day. This festival occurs every six months so you will have the opportunity to see it in another half year if you miss the first round. During this time you will see the Barong Dance procession which goes through the village performing in front of shops and houses as an act of purification. Cremations are another village affair where the entire family and friends of the deceased are involved. The body is carried from the home grounds through the village to the cremation site where it is place in a towering sarcophagus and burnt to the ground.

7) Sea Sports
Bali has some of the most colourful and interesting sea life you will ever see. Well known dive sites are located in Amed and Tulamben where there are ship wrecks, in Menjangan Island in the North West, and Pandang Bali and Lembongan Island in the East to name a few.  Nusa Dua and Sanur are ideal for snorkeling but there are many other areas as well.

Visit Active Volcanoes
Indonesia has hundreds of volcanoes and Bali has some of its own famous ones as well. Kintamani town is where you will see the 2800m high Mount Bali, a popular tourist destination in Bali. The volcano has a large caldera lake and it is possible to go on a sunrise hike to the top of Mount Batur if you can wake up early enough!  Mount Agung, the location of Bali’s largest and most sacred temple, Puri Besakih, is Bali’s highest and most sacred mountain at 3142m high. Pura Besakih, the Mother Temple is where Bali’s most important ceremonies are held and worth visiting if you have the opportunity to go on an East Bali tour especially in April when the temple has its anniversary.

9) Land Adventure Activities
Apart from the southern tourist towns, Bali is an island still very much in its natural state compared to other tourist destinations. You will soon realise that there are many locations that provide the ideal terrain for exciting adventure activities. Bali is not only Kuta and Nusa Dua. Travel north and you will find out what the real Bali has to offer – culture, spectacular scenery and experiences that modern tourist towns with shopping malls are totally devoid of.

The rivers, mountains and jungles are all places where you can experience Bali away from the tourist crowds. White water rafting down the scenic Ayung or down the heart stopping Telaga River rapids is one of the more popular activities for tourists who come to Bali. A mountain bike ride from Kintamani down to Ubud through the padi fields and small villages with friendly locals is another leisurely activity for families and individuals alike. Bali is home to the Taro Elephant Park, complete with accommodation, activities and elephant fun for all ages. You can ride an elephant through the jungle, marvel at their intelligence and let them make you laugh when you visit the Taro Elephant safari park in Bali. Quad driving will take you through the jungles and rougher terrain. Canyon tubing where you sit in a floating tube and coast down a river through the jungle is another fun activity. A new attraction, the Bali Safari and Marine Park is a unique blend of wildlife conservation and culture. You will be able to see wildlife in their natural surroundings and learn about the ancient Balinese culture at this tourist attraction.

10) Shop till you drop
Finally what the first thing tourists tend to do on any trip and most certainly to Bali is to shop. You have Kuta Center, Galeria Nusa Dua, Matahari in Legian and Ubud Market where you will find bargains of all sorts. The Balinese are well known for their creative and artistic skills evident in the numerous arts and crafts found throughout the island. Many craft factories are found in Tegallalang and the surrounding area. Skilled silversmiths in the village of Celuk, sell their creations in eclectic shops in Ubud but you will be able to buy their jewelry at slightly better prices.  Sukawati art market is where you will find many of the fabrics used in Balinese clothing as well as hand made crafts such as woven baskets at good prices. Crafts and statues are made from natural products found on Bali such as coconut wood, bamboo and volcanic sand stone.  Masks and puppets make interesting gift items. You will also find many unique home decor items such as table runners, lamp shades and wall decorations to give your home a touch of Bali style when you return.  Furniture items are often available at attractive prices compared to if you were to purchase them from outside of Bali.

So there you are, a list of many things you can do in Bali. Relax, get fit, have fun, gain new experiences and most of all, a memorable holiday. And if you count them up, you’ve got a lot more than 10 things to do there. This is by no means an exhaustive list but more than enough for a 3 to 7 day trip to this wonderful and magical island of the Gods.
