Clock tower at Cape Town Waterfront, now and then.
This clock tower was the original Port Captain’s office at the Cape Town harbor, built in 1882. The clock itself was imported from Edinburgh and placed in a gothic style tower. An amazing fact is the red color of the tower is exactly the same…
Reaching new heights – Clingman’s Dome
Over 11 million people can’t be wrong! That’s how many people visited the Great Smokey National Park in 2016. Only the Blue Ridge Parkway (close by the Smokies) and the Golden Gate National Recreational Area receive a higher number of visitors. The Smokies cover a…
Fountain and Light Show, Dubai Mall
Everything about Dubai is artificial. Apart from the sand in the desert areas. Like Las Vegas, everything is man-made and man-centric. That is not to say it’s bad. It is actually amazing what they have managed to create out of a desert in such a…

Il Pedrocchino Restaurant in Sacile, Northern Italy
When I travel, food can be a double edged sword. Sometimes I just have to close my nose, eyes and mind and just eat what I am presented. I employ a kind of don’t ask, don’t tell policy. I figure ignorance is bliss in these…
Porsche Museum, Stuttgart
This is the mecca of car lovers, maybe not for Ferrari or BMW lovers. But if you are Mercedes or Porsche fan, this is a good city to visit. I’m here on a work trip, staying in a gorgeous little village called Korntal which has…
Infamous Nigril, Jamaica
Often this part of Jamaica is famous for all the wrong reasons. Home to many of the adult resorts and clothing optional beaches, one can be forgiven for thinking this is a place to avoid if you want a family vacation. However, it is worth…
