My Magical Maple Moments
The Public Market is a must see experience especially the way I experienced it on a foodie tour. Our private guide cum chef, who shops there regularly, knew all the good stalls selling fresh produce.
The Serenity of Fiji
The snorkelling just out the front of the resort was a memorable experience with the island being surrounded by protected Marine Sanctuary boasting many colourful tropical fish.
From Russia with love
The three-hour trip between cities was convenient and comfortable, particularly as we travelled in First Class. Check-in involved a security check point for your luggage with duty-free sales available.
I left my footsteps in Italy
The San Petronio Basilica was very interesting; it’s amazing how they built the church around the St Petronius Meridian line which is the longest indoor meridian line in the world.
Amaseganalehu Ethiopia
Several gates mark the entrance to the ancient city, at each gate traders compete to sell fruits, vegetables, coffee and the ubiquitous khat. Virtually the entire population of Harar is on khat.
Cambodia – You took my breath away
At the crack of dawn with, torch in hand, off we went to Angkor Wat – one of the world’s greatest temples. This was something I had always wanted to see.
Ecuador – An unexpected delight
We walked through an area of cacti and Manzanillo trees to Garrapatero Beach where we did a couple of hours of kayaking and saw lots of sea turtles and crabs baking in the sun.
Myanmar gets a helping hand
On another occasion a youth group danced for us, it was only later that I realised that one of the dances was a lesson on what to do if you are approached by a child smuggler.
We did Japan alphabetically
An Onsen is a public bath situated near a hot spring. There is a separate section for males and females and you must be naked. I’m the tall one at the back freaking out.
Colombia, its not what you think
Where else are the people as beautiful, energetic, creative, embracing, open and artistic? We’ve all heard of Shakira the singer, Gabriel Garcia Marquez the writer and the artist Fernando Botero.
