Estonia 2018: Tartu Cathedral
Tartu Cathedral is one of the biggest churches in Estonia and the only medieval church with two spires in the country. Its construction began in the thirteenth century and continued until the early sixteenth century. The final parts completed were its spires. The church was destroyed during the Livonian War and has not functioned as a place of worship since. Today, the University of Tartu Museum operates in the Cathedral.

Morocco 2010: Dinner in the Jemaa El-Fnaa
2010
By day the Jemaa el-Fnaa is a bustling market with traders, and entertainers seeing a coin or two from the visitors. By night it transforms into a huge open air food court. Brightly lit against the night, with a myriad of scents from the cooking meats and spices.
South Africa 2019: Delheim Wines
2019
Traveling through Stellenbosch when driving to Cape Town. We stopped for lunch at this vineyard and winery.
Whilst my travel companions sampled the wares, I went for a little wander. I don't know if I was really allowed to poke my nose in the places I did, but it was fascinating to see all the machinery used to produce the wines.

After three solid days of walking the city, I did something I don't usually do and took a ride on one of those hop-on, hop-off tourist buses that tend to be found in the big city.

Italy 2018: Rome - The Colosseum and Forum
2018
Another of those places where it felt surreal to walk the pathways of a place I'd seen in everything from Asterix graphic novels as a kid, to movies via many history books. Every footstep, a connection to the past.
I visited on a bright but changeable February morning and the queues were still deep. I cannot imagine how busy it must be at the height of summer.
The Alps 2017: Out the Window
2017
Geneva to Geneva via France, Italy and Switzerland as seen from the passenger side window.
Herniating a disc two days before a long-planned adventure is not the recommended way to see the Alps and really limited my movement. 95% of my images from the trip were taken from a car seat with an iPhone.
