Throughout
the period of researching my route and the Island, I came across
several useful and interesting websites. I would like to take this
opportunity to thank all concerned for the numerous tips and advice, which
certainly helped me to prepare for my journey. Here is a list of those
sites, together with a brief summary.

and that fly-fishing was possible and permitted. Thank you 'father of
Clarisse' for an informative site on such a specialist subject.
