    A Travel Lottery

    Once, the German Train system was world known for reliability, pensility and good service.  Those were the days.

  • Beach Inspired Tranquillity

    Beach Inspired Tranquillity

    Of course not, in August a beach in Usedom does not resemble this picture of tranquillity. The popular Northern German resort becomes a summer getaway for many visitors seeking sun and water.

    Modern civilisation should always look to the ancient Roman city of Pompeii for a lesson on humility and destruction.

  • Naples Revisited

    Naples Revisited

    A recent article in The Guardian newspaper described Napes as “the city of imminent doom.” A place where cool books and tv shows are set. Agreed.
