I was watching 7 Sunrise at 8.42 this morning when breaking news happened and simultaniously my twitter feed "went into meltdown" (to quote a Sunrise-ism).

#Zakynthos (#Zante) is a verdant island! Its landscape diversity has resulted in different types of #beaches! visitgreece.gr/portal/site/eo… #Greece
- Zakynthos is a lovely island. The southern beaches around Laganas are nesting sites for endangered Loggerhead Turtles. Spent four days on Zakynthos in May 2007 and the Laganas area at that time was the hot-spot for beach front development. The Archelon Sea Turtle Protection Society of Greece do some wonderful work in saving turtles in this part of the island.
Follow @Archelon_STPS to lend support.

Rode beach rd 2day. Gotta get this msg out, cycling shouldn't be deadly. Sign the minimum safe passing distance petition thewheeler.com.au/?p=897
- If you ride a bike (even a rusty old MTB like I do) you should sign this petition. Everyone who holds an Australian drivers license should too.
