Well we had a nice flight to Delhi but it’s a hardship being upgraded to first class, we got over it now! The first disaster of our trip struck. The man (everyone in India has a man for something) who was supposed to meet us at the airport was not there. I called the hotel […]

We are lagging in our postings, so I am going to attempt to distill our time in Spain to one post, without the aid of a safety net. We arrived in Barcelona in good spirits, and hopped in a taxi to take us to our hotel. Here we experienced a phenomenon common to road traffic […]

One of the main reasons we went to Avignon is due to the fact that in 1309, the Papacy moved from Rome and set up residence there. Forget the religion though, what we are interested in is Châteauneuf du Pape! This one of the most prestigious and well known wine areas in the Rhône wine […]

Things have been very hectic, some other highlights are traditional cabaret in Avignon, Flamenco in […]

Cruise ships arrive each morning unleashing hoards of visitors on the city, to the point that you cannot move – no wonder the city is sinking, it doubles in weight […]

When we were walking through Marienplatz, which is the main square in Munich, we stopped to watch some street entertainers. They were singing and dancing, a sort of hip-hop type thing. I was compelled to stop and watch because they were sooo bad (and that is my professional opinion!). While we were standing there, one […]
