In one of my northern Hong Kong stays I was looking for something new and exciting to do, having done most of the hikes in that area, when I came across the GoGreen Pineapple and Alpaca farm. That seemed, well,
Greek Mythology Thematic Park : Crete
During my last day in Crete, I was hoping to do something near Heraklion to learn more about the mythological aspects of Crete. You get glimpses into that as you go through the historical sites of the islands, and I
