So this week’s blog is in the form of a diary about a trip we just took to Florida – well Fort Lauderdale and Miami….

If you are heading north – just look out for the sign immediately after the Island Made Gift Shop – […]
Next in the Best of Eleuthera we take a look at Pops Body Shop in Tarpum Bay. Unfortunately I have had several experiences of using Pop’s place because I have once too frequently reversed a car into something – a metal bollard at Eleuthera Supply, random walls and even another car ! Anyway this time I turned into our own […]
This week I took a trip up to the North Eleuthera Shopping Centre or Burchie’s as it is more commonly known. Burchie’s is the closest Eleuthera has to a department store !
