Oh, thanks! I didn't realize it was part of the same building - I should have realized it was Vanderaap's.

Amazing lotting and flora - and that is a great use of Mattb's building.   &apls

Dunes picture are very nice. But is is a little strange to me that there are so many rocks on the dunes because the dunes are composed primarily of sand, at least from my knowledge of diferent dunes in Europe. Dunes are something I have in my mind to make some day...

About the town I like the reloted xannepan seawalls among lots of deteails. I was thinking on reloting paeng's parkings with these walls and seeing your results I think I'll do. :)

The road/avenue zebra crossing is your own lot, or you dowload from somewhere? I tried to find it but didn't... &mmm

I like the picture called 'the promenade'  It's a great looking beach. I like the sign on the post ... I think it is telling the beach goer to avoid "Shark Point"

1986 - Refusal of EC membership and the Schengen Agreement

Rondoir must be having a bit of schadenfreude these days.  ::)

Impressive list with information and gorgeous pics, a little too much to take in all at once though, I'll be back for more.  :thumbsup:
