But that's before she meets the two boys who take their horses swimming in the sea at dawn: friendly sandy-haired Robert and the dark-haired, dark-eyed Caz who turns Colette's stomach to liquid with a glance. Maybe Robert's right after all - it's not where you go that matters, it's who you meet while you're there...

Maybe Robert's right after all - it's not where you go that matters, it's who you meet while you're there.
