Tunis and Western Sahara - Two exciting North African destinations

Tunis and Western Sahara – Two exciting North African destinations

Tunis and Western Sahara lie at the opposite ends of the massive Sahara Desert, and visiting them both in one journey was a treat North Africa, it is safe to say, is not the tourist industry’s flavour of the month. It is a region whose visitor numbers have dropped dramatically in the past couple of […]

The Fabulous Hotel Madrid - Las Palmas

The Fabulous Hotel Madrid – Las Palmas

I checked into The Hotel Madrid with a little apprehension, although curious as to exactly what €38 per night could possibly buy in Las Palmas, one of the great tourist destinations of Europe, I had booked this property based primarily on reviews and not parsimony. But nevertheless, $45 is not a lot of money to […]

European Ferries; The Great Grimaldi Line

European Ferries; The Great Grimaldi Line

The Grimaldi Line: A wonderful  European Ferry Ferries or Cruises? “I love ships”, I have told myself, “but I don’t like cruises.” It is a subtle difference, and one that I have a hard time explaining. What I really mean, I suspect, is that I can’t stand the idea of spending a week or more […]

Trattoria di Via Serra: A simply fabulous restaurant

Trattoria di Via Serra: A simply fabulous restaurant

Bologna’s Trattoria di Via Serra is more than just a restaurant; it is an incredible experience! I qualify the statement simply because there are a couple of other extraordinary restaurants that I know and love, and would not want to make a definitive statement like “The Best” without causing opprobrium. Among them are Pheasant’s Tears […]

Bologna; Italy's northern gem

Bologna; Italy’s northern gem

Visiting Bologna is a very special experience, and one that all travellers to Italy should consider. Touring Italy is a wonderful experience, but where to start?

TransDniestria and Moldova: two unknown countries The Journey I have been most remiss; I have, as you will know, not written a piece for some time, and have been rightly chided by some regular readers for this absence. I have, however, been busy; my last piece was of two very fine restaurants in Bologna and […]

AirBnb in Reunion

AirBnb; When it goes badly wrong, it can be made right.

The AirBnb saga continues in Reunion I wrote a piece a couple of days ago that raised some issues about AirBnb, and how to deal with situations that go bad. Well, firstly, I should say that their help team, having “reached out” to me, did make the situation better, but did leave a couple of […]
