Argh, my 'limited' English is a problem sometimes... I hope this picture took in Google Earth helps understanding what I wanted to say... http://img523.imageshack.us/img523/5969/vitriagoogleearthaj2.png --> Ah, it may look that it isn't an island, but it IS an island, it's just because I couldn't get the top of the screen well on the picture... Also, I made some 'typos': I wanted to say that there are some hills in the island itself, but there are big mountains 'behind' the island (in other words, in the west - have in mind that in this case the island face would be the east/Atlantic Ocean), in the continent itself, that cause a very different point of view of a person who is in the island, as example, if you look to the east you will see the ocean - beach stuff etc, and if you look to the west, you will see the mountains (grab a car and in about 40 minutes/1 hour you will be in other climate with different landscape and that 'stuff' around you)... A local marketing said something about "40 minutes beetwen the coconut water and the vine", but err, it doesn't sound good in English... Damn language 'barrier'... Am I 'clear' this time? ;D EDITED: This picture must give you some idea of how it looks like: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c9/267687484_f2f049276a_o.jpg Sorry about 'stealing' your topic... :-[
