Cape Verde makes an excellent spot as a beach holiday destination all year round, but because of it's location, it also makes the perfect winter sun beach holiday destination.
So where is Cape Verde?
For those of you who don't know, Cape Verde is a group of very small islands in the Atlantic Ocean, just off the coast of Africa and so make a great tropical island paradise almost all year round. The temperature in winter average around 24 degrees Celsius and the summer has a low temperature of around 29 degrees Celsius. So thats the first check sorted in any good beach holiday - the weather.
The beaches in Cape Verde
Cape Verde has some of the best beaches I have ever seen, up till now pretty much unspoilt, the perfect place for a relaxing beach holiday. For the more energetic there are also beaches that offer water sports, like windsurfing, snorkeling and even scuba diving around the islands.
So apart from the beaches what else is there to do in cape Verde?
Cape Verde is known for it's their own style of folk music, which is sung all over the island and there are many laid back beach bars and clubs where you can join in.
Like most tropical beach locations, Cape Verde also makes a great spot for your honeymoon or a romantic holiday as it has a very laid back out of the way feel to it. You could easily rent a holiday villa or self catering holiday apartments giving you all the seclusion you could ask for for the ultimate romantic holiday!
The Cape Verde’s islands are however much more than just a beach holiday destination, if you venture inland you will find some stunning scenery perfect for those who love of hiking. It is also important to remember that each island is unique and special in it's own way and my advice would be to definitely do a bit of island hopping.
So there you go, I would recommend The Cape Verde Islands as a truely relaxing beach holiday destination both as a winter sun holiday location and as a summer destination. So if you are lloking for something a little different why not give these beautiful islands a try.

The Best Girls in Bikinis 02
Wow what a stunner!!
The whole idea of my Girls in Bikinis series was to find photos of babes at the beach in costumes, but I wanted them to be amateurs, not professional models. In my opinion she could easily be a model and what makes it more interesting is I think really great photo is of herself - many thanks for sharing and allowing us to share the photo as well!

The Best Girls in Bikinis 01
Ok, for me and I guess many other guys out there, one of the definite bonuses of beach holidays whether they are winter sun holidays or just plain old summer holidays are sexy beach babes in bikinis!
So I thought it would be fun to see if what were the best sexy beach bikinis I could find on Flickr that have a creative commons license of Attribution which basically means that they let others copy, distribute, display their copyrighted work but only if I give them credit.
Well here is the fist of the series her name is Giannella and was taken by Andicati and she is a real stunner I am sure you will agree!

The Best Beaches in Malta
Whenever I go on holiday, like most people I like to do some research on where I am going. For my upcoming trip to Malta (in about 2 weeks time now! \o/) I have been trying to do some research on where are the best beaches in Malta.
Now I don't know about you, but I reckon that a good beach guide should at least contain:
A description about the beach
What facilities you can find at the beach
How to get to the beach
Photos of the beach - so you can get a good idea of what it looks like.
Now you won't believe how hard this is to find! There are plenty of guides to the best beaches out there, but to find a good one, especially for Malta was tough, but I did find one and not only did it have all that i wanted, but also contains videos from Youtube on the beach.. excellent!

Pretty bay, Birzebuggia
Excellent photo of a beach called Pretty Bay, in the south of Malta near the town of Birzebuggia.
This beach was actually a stony beach, the sand has been artificially added when the port (freeport was constructed)
I think it is the only sandy beach on the southern part of Malta.

What to see and do on your holiday in Malta
So with my holiday in Malta fast approaching, I leave in the middle of March, I thought I would do a little research to find out what else there is to see and do in Malta, besides lazing on the beach and scuba diving!
Malta Attractions
Malta have a very rich history and culture, in fact the islands of Malta and Gozo are blessed with an abundance of fascinating historical and archaeological sites, some of which preceded the building of the Pyramids!
Museums in Malta
If you enjoy visiting museums, in Malta you are in for a treat, with such a rich heritage, much of it preserved in museums there are plenty of places to visit. Each museum contains exquisite artefacts from various fields and eras be it art, archaeology, natural history, war time. And if that is not enough even more treasures can be found in the 364 churches built on the island!
So which museums do you visit?
An excellent place to start is the National Museum of Archaeology in Malta which houses a collection of artifacts from the unique prehistoric periods in the history of the island which begins with the first people to arrive in 5200 BC.
The museum is located on Republic St, Auberge de Provcence Valletta
I will also be visiting St. John's Co-Cathedral which also adjoins the St John's Co-Cathedral Museum
The church which was built between 1573-1577 by the Knights of Malta is said to contain marble tombstones where great Knights were buried as well as two great masterpieces by the artist Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio. The museum next to the church holds many more woks of art including Tapestries and many great paintings.
