Five small isolated villages have become a hub of Italian riviera indulgence. Postcard beautiful in sea, sky, and sites (when not utterly crushed by cruise lines tour crowds). Plan to come. But not onLæs mere

Well it was the centre for a bit, like two hundred years or so. Life for the Pope was a bit (politically) hot in Rome in the 1300s. So what's a Pope to do? Build a new city for yourself and fewLæs mere

A theatre for one, an amphitheatre right next door for two, and a marvellous crypt. Sort of MCG / tennis centre precinct a la first century. Van Gogh also made it his home for some years. His art isLæs mere

I'd be passing on the fish and looking for the big tray of fresh croissants and French cheeses. This is not the time nor place to be eating healthy!

Romans love a good bath. And a fountain or two. Oh and it helps if one keeps the slaving masses alive. All this needs water. As I'm sure you realise, this isn't even a pont; it's an aqueduct. Over 50Læs mere

(a bridge for you non francophiles). This one is made without human hands: only nature's hand using stone, water, wind, and time. Pont-dArc is part of the Ardeche gorge: picture the Murray RiverLæs mere

Yep, there are five waterfalls in view as we tuck in for the night. This is because this glacial valley has vertical walls over 200 meters high. It's a long way for water and base jumpers to fall.Læs mere
