Love Thursday: Lovers’ Island

Thanks to faithful reader, Gil, here is a spectacular photo of what has been dubbed “Lovers’ Island” off the coast of Croatia:

Lovers' Island

Its amazing heart shape was discovered by viewers of Google Earth; even owner Vlado Juresko hadn’t realized before that his uninhabited island was such a perfect heart until people started requesting to stay there.

Speaking of romantic locations, if you’re looking for a nice spot to celebrate Valentine’s Day or any day, do check out two articles I recently published with the BootsnAll Travel Network:

(And feel free to give them thumbs-up, Stumble love, etc.).

Happy Love Thursday everyone!

Do you play around with Google Earth?

    When I went to Croatia 12 years ago and visited the Dalmatian Coast, I thought of how it would be the perfect place for a honeymoon — so beautiful the Mediterranean and the sky, fantastic food, and even interesting history and architecture . . .although I didn’t end up going there for MY honeymoon (it was Bella Italia for us of course!).
