The theme letter for our travel pics this week is R – for Railways. To start the week off, a station that looks like a classic ‘Victorian’ structure – but with state-of-the-art 21st century trains. Gare du Nord, or North Station, is the busiest station in Europe – and is the station for trains to Northern France and…
The theme letter for our travel pics this week has been Q – for Quiet Reflections, and to wrap us up we have an actual reflection. This is a reflection pool at the Sheikh Zayed mosque in Abu Dhabi. It’s also known as a ‘water mirror, and is at the entrance to the mosque –…
The theme letter for our travel pics this week is up to Q – so we’ve chosen Quiet Reflections. For Saturday, we return to Lifou – an island we referred to last week in our P for Pacific Island series. Snorkelling here is lots of fun – and every time I see pictures like this,…
The theme letter for our travel pics this week is up to Q – so we’ve chosen Quiet Reflections. For Friday, we’re in Corfu, and looking at Pontikonisi (Mouse) Island. The island (created by Zeus from the overturned boat of Odysseus, according to legend) hosts a Byzantine chapel – which you can just make out between the…
The theme letter for our travel pics this week is up to Q – so we’ve chosen Quiet Reflections. We visited Dunedin, New Zealand on a cruise ship (the Carnival Spirit) and loved the city – it was small but vibrant, friendly, historic and beautiful. But it was as we sailed out again that I was…
The theme letter for our travel pics this week is up to Q – so we’ve chosen Quiet Reflections. To me, Cannery Row at Monterey Bay in California was always about Steinbeck, and his reflections on the flotsam and jetsam of society that was washed up on its shores. But then I went to Cannery Row…
The theme letter for our travel pics this week is up to Q – so we’ve chosen Quiet Reflections. Noumea, in New Caledonia, is on the itinerary of almost every cruise ship sailing the South Pacific. And its probably fair to say it’s not the favourite port for many .. in fact, lots of passengers don’t…
The theme letter for our travel pics this week is up to Q – so we’ve chosen Quiet Reflections. To start the week off, a church bell in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. We stayed in the Zona Colonial (Old Town) of Santo Domingo over Easter 2015, and it was an interesting insight into a deeply Catholic country –…
The theme for our travel pics this week is P for Pacific Islands. And we end the week at one of my favourite islands – Lifou, in the Loyalty Islands of New Caledonia. Lifou is a regular stop for many cruise ships – and it has some of the best shore-side snorkelling in the…
The theme for our travel pics this week is P for Pacific Islands. For Saturday, lets check out some street art in Noumea, New Caledonia. Just as you walk back to the Gare Maritime, or main Quay in Noumea, you’ll see a wall of amazing street art. It’s colourful, spectacular, and reminds me a lot of a…
