    About 20 years ago we discovered a small village on a small Ionian island. It had everything we wanted for a holiday and just as importantly nothing that we didn't want.
    We've been back every year since.
    The link, if it works should take you to a slideshow. The on-line software is very easy to use if you fancy creating a show of your own.

    Hope this works!

    That was really lovely way to present your holiday pics, Dave, I enjoyed it no end. Thank you!

    I'd like to try it out as well after I've cleared up a few problems on the PC.

    Sadly Dave, I was unable to view your slide show, (nothing to do with you, I suspect my hard drive needs a thorough scrub), which is a shame as I think Greece is a wondeful place and I'm curious to see where you've found a bit that is still unspoiled. I went to Siphnos in the Cyclades some years ago and that hadn't been touched but I'm reluctant to go back in case it's been over-developed since.

    Regarding slide shows, I use Microsoft Office Powerpoint for the talk I give on "Behind the Scenes at Chelsea" and find that very easy to use.

    Fabulous Dave ... but we wouldn't expect any less from you. k-l

    Interesting that Trip Advisor does the slideshows and very nicely organised. Love the little captions as well. You two look great and were obviously enjoying yourselves ... thank you for sharing your holiday with us. :luv:

    Thanks folks - glad you enjoyed it. It's very easy to do though creative options are limited.
    I used Power Point frequently when I was working and now also use Adobe to produce pdf slide shows but both of these create massive file sizes that are useless for sites like GC. So an on-line facility like TripAdvisor is just the ticket for things like this.
