Bubbles on the skyscraper terrace Ljubljana

Nebotičnik Skyscraper and a walk in Park Tivoli Ljubljana

Ljubljana produced some beautiful days during our late May – days that invited a stroll in Park Tivoli Ljubljana or enjoying the views from the iconic Neboticnik Skyscraper. We arrived in the Capital of Slovenia without pre-conceived travel plans. The one thing I had in mind, a possible visit to Metelkova squat, with it’s quirky graffiti, …

Ljubljana, the capital city of Slovenia, is an easy place to visit. Pronounced Lub-lee-arna, this University town has a relaxed atmosphere, an old town that’s picture perfect and a Friday food festival that draws the locals out to soak up the sunshine, eat, drink and socialise. Venture along the river away from the Triple Bridge …

Temple of Concord Agrigento Sicily with statue of Icarus

Is the Valley of the Temples at Agrigento Sicily really in a valley?

The so called Valley of the Temples in south-western Sicily sprawls along the ridge tops near the town of Agrigento. The ridge falls away to valleys on both sides, one lush green and treed toward the town and another over brown then manicured fields to the ocean. On this side the fields are divided by …

Fort George was built in 1812 as the British answer to Napoleon’s advances in the Mediterranean. I doubt that Captain Henryson and his band of Vis Islanders imagined, when constructing the fort, that within a few years the British would abandon it and some two hundred years later it would be operating as an events …

UPDATED APRIL 2018. The furthest flung of the inhabited Croatian islands, Vis Island is a unique, less touristed destination and possibly the most beautiful island in Croatia! This is a big call because Croatia has a whopping 79 Adriatic islands with an area greater than 1 sq.km. and Vis with an area of 90 sq.km. …

The Adriatic coastline plays a star role in what makes Croatia such a popular travel destination and why I love Croatia. Every seaside town along this most indented Croatian coastline has a Riva where people promenade, swim, fish, moor boats, drink coffee and take their evening stroll. Beside these common things to do in Zadar …

The Slovenian town of Piran sits on the peninsula of the Gulf of Piran, toward the top of the Adriatic. This far south-western corner of Slovenia is squeezed between the borders of Italy to the North and Croatia to the south, a distance as the crow flies of only 20km at the closest point. It …

It seems far too long since we stood on the timber boardwalks at Plitvice Lakes Croatia, mouths agape and cameras clicking. Where we live it doesn’t rain often (unless it pours) so it isn’t surprising that Plitvice Lakes with it’s lashings of water and verdant foliage blew our minds.   Have you ever been to …
