Portable yet authoritative, this is the perfect guide for travellers and birdwatchers visiting this spectacular and bird-rich destination.
Not to state the obvious, but we've definitely come a long way since the 16th century - like, duh. Back in those days, people used to do all kinds of weird and wonderful things to try and slow the clock and stay young and beautiful. One such weird thing was drinking a mixture of water and gold. Like, real gold. No jokes. In a way, though, we suppose it did stop them from ageing - only because they didn't really live much longer after that.
Luckily, no one with any common sense drinks gold anymore - especially not in today's economy. These days, we have safer and more effective ways of retaining a healthy, youthful glow, like today's deal on a range of products from The Harvest Table. Now that's more like it!
