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…
The Indonesian Archipelago
I recently traveled to Indonesia for my work and went to a part that I had never been to before. Indonesia is made up of thousands of islands, the exact number of which depends on the definition and sources you use. But it is safe…
Phewa Lake at Pokhara, Nepal

Timeless Venice
It is to state the obvious that Venice (Italy) has to be one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Stepping into Venice is like stepping into an alternate universe. You are in a land quite unlike anywhere else. For a moment, you can…
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…
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…
Authentic Jamaican food in Montego Bay
One of the aspects of travel I like the most is experiencing the food of the nation. Of course, it can be a little “hairy” at times, depending on where you are. If there is one ubiquitous taste found in Jamaica, it is the jerk…
