Chefchaouen – Powder blue with a splash of turquoise

Unique Chefchaouen Chefchaouen is one of the most unusual cities I have ever visited.  I have read that Chefchaouen is regularly listed as one of the top 10 must see cities in the world and I agree. The streets, the houses, public buildings, lampposts and garbage bins are washed in powder blue paint with a splash of turquoise highlighting windows …

Morocco – Marrakesh Madness

Marrakesh was the last stop on our Intrepid tour and it didn’t disappoint. Marrakesh is an assault on the senses.  The city is almost 1000 years old and is home to some of the most amazing minarets, sandstone buildings, high red walls circling the city and of course the famous souks (the markets) which is where I spent most of …

Morocco – Amazing Fes

Fes was everything I read about and more.

Moroccan drivers…blah! Casablanca is, in my …

Italy – The Amalfi Coast – sunsets and a rugged coastline

 The Beautiful Amalfi Coast As part of the G Adventures small group tour, we spent a lot of time exploring the beauty of the Amalfi coastline and it’s various villages including Sorrento, Amalfi, Fuore and Positano.  As we made our way around the coastline we stopped to look at some incredible views that you would be unlikely to see anywhere …

The Vatican

The Sistine Chapel, Vatican Museums, The Raphael Rooms, Tapestries and more.. The Vatican intimidated me Everyone needs to visit The Vatican to see it’s display of power, 70,000 works of art, 1400 rooms, 17,000 visitors a day, 7km of halls and it’s opulence, it’s maze of museums, gardens. And then St Peters Basilica did my head in and the most …
