Thanks a lot for dropping by and for the lovely comments. They are greatly appreciated! Yes, indeed, earlier on today I published another weblog post where I mentioned some of what the international press was saying about the tragic set of events and the coverage has been impressive! No wonder, I would say, though, seeing how many millions of people get to visit the islands on a regular basis and throughout the entire year! I am sure things would recover pretty soon, relatively. Probably not rather quick, but slowly and steadily. First estimates were saying about 10 years, but I do seriously hope that it would be a lot sooner than that! I bet it would. Mother nature is very wise in these matters. I wish I would be able to say the same about ourselves... Either way, Mareike, thanks again for dropping by and for the feedback and will speak to you soon! Hi Mareike! Thanks a lot for dropping by and for the lovely comments. They are greatly appreciated!

I am really shocked about the big fires. I have read this and the following articles with much interest. Also the press in Germany is publishing a lot about the disaster. I really hope the country will recover soon. Best wishes, Mareike Hi Luis!

Tardarán años en volver las cosas a estar como estaban, y probablemente nunca llegue a occurir. </p> <p>Espero que algún día puedas venir por aquí por lo menos para contarte lo que había sido el paraíso y como poco a poco ha sido destruido por tal infortunio. Por lo menos todavía nos quedan las historias de lo que fue y siempre será. Y el resto a seguir adelante e intentar que la solución llegue pronto y podamos disfrutar otra vez de una isla que es lo que es: <em>el paraíso</em>.</p> <p>Gracias de nuevo por los comentarios y espero que nos podamos ver pronto. ¡Un saludo!</p> Hola Simon, gracias por los comentarios y por los buenos deseos. ¡Se agradecen!

No he tenido la oportunidad de visitar las islas todavía, pero es una lastima que si tengo la posibilidad de ir en el futuro, el impacto de los incendios sea un recuerdo de mi visita. Un saludo.

Thanks a lot for dropping by and for the kind words. I tell you, they are very very much appreciated at this point in time and seeing how things are developing. I hope that tonight things will improve and that from tomorrow onwards we will see the end of it, because otherwise I just don't want to think what is going to happen to many of the places I love from this island. Fingers crossed! Thanks again for the feedback! Hi Catherine! Thanks a lot for dropping by and for the kind words.
