Picture of the Day:  The perfect Valentine's Day gift. This deserted island is off the coast of Croatia. When Google Earth revealed its shape, the owners changed it's name from Galesnjak to Lovers' Island. Good move. Now they're swamped with requests from smitten holidaymakers who want to spend a romantic break there. Only problem -- no food, no water, no facilities, no pool, no tennis, no golf, no restaurants, no nightclubs, etc.
