Germany - Black Forest & Berlin

A few pics from the two very different areas we stayed recently while in Germany.  Young, fashion-conscious Berlin women have taken to cycling almost as much as they have to drinking beer on public transport.  Beers and bikes are big in Berlin.  As are arm tattoos. Lots of girls with arm tats.

Definitely one of my favourite cities.

Portugal - the Honeymoon

A brief but beautiful 7 day honeymoon through Portugal's amazing Alentejo region.  We ate and drank our way to gastronomical heaven via wineries, castles, monasteries and many, many cork trees.  If you don't like pork or seafood, the typical Alentejo menu may not be for you.  Personally, I recommend the black pig washed down with a good Alentejo vinho tinto, but that mouthwatering crab (pictured) came a very close second.  No photos of the beautiful bride, sorry!

Hampstead Heath (London) - Spring

16 Days in India

16 days in India saw us travel the well worn route of Delhi - Agra - Jaipur.  We added some more kilometres by also visiting beautiful Udaipur before returning to Delhi.  I'm pretty sure we saw every temple/major monument there was to see along the route!   Then we flew to Goa thankfully, for 6 days of sunshine and to work on my Portuguese speaking.  A great trip, but a destination that needs a lot more time to explore.  I would recommend about 3 months, at least.

Autumnal Companions - London

A few strolls through Hyde Park this Autumn enabled me to take some pics of companionship amongst the fallen leaves.
