Not another Greek salad - Ann Rickard

We walk up to the castle, an 18th century thing that is now just neglected ruins. We scamble around but it is obvious from the pungent odour and stains on the crumbling old walls that several hundred men have used this as a convenient place to take a pee. Still it has fabulous views out over the blue sea and we stay there for as long as we can stand the smell, admiring the scene. Ann Rickard has the writing and travel bug. After her first book Not Another Book About Italy she returned to her life and job in Noosa but it wasn't long before she found another reason to travel, this time to Greece. Her witty observations of Greeks and their way of life, the descriptions of another divine location with yet another Greek salad, fried fish, bottle of wine and a beer for Geoffrey, keeps the reader thoroughly entertained. Ann and her husband criss-cross Greece, island hopping and enjoying those lovely little restaurants perched high on the terraced hills, beckoning us inside with blackboard offerings "lobster alive today" and home made dishes, visiting historical locations and enjoying life. Greece - Just Wonderful dishes up the travel recipe that keeps the reader coming back for more.
