Barcelona, Spain
A day trip to Barcelona flying very early in the morning and returning late in the evening. We managed to tour the city in an open top bus, visit the Sagrada Familia, have lunch at the Marina and cocktails in a bar on the Ramblas. Barcelona is a charming city with great culture and unbeatable food....
The Middle East
We visited Petra for a day in October and spent 5 fascinating hours exploring. We entered through a rocky passage with very high walls called the Siq – you can do this on foot, but we chose to do this on horseback. Entering through the Siq was a dramatic and atmospheric introduction to the ancient city. You come out the other side of this passage at The Treasury, a rock-cut temple that’s the most-photographed part of the site due to its starring role in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. The next big...

Rome, Italy
A collection of photographs taken during various trips to Italy. Rome is without doubt one the most beautiful cities that I have visited. We stayed in a hotel at the top of the Spanish steps which was a great location to simply walk out of the door and into the heart of the city. 4 or 5 days will give you enough time to visit all of the attractions and sit and have a coffee watching the world go by! Rome's Fiumicino airport is 19 miles outside of the city. A...
Morocco
