Ladies View – Ring Of Kerry

The Ladies View lookout is part of the Ring of Kerry and can be found between Killarney and Kenmare on the N71. On a nice day its a great stop off spot to take in the view and just enjoy how damn beautiful Ireland is. I will say however getting to the ladies view lookout is somewhat of an experience with tour buses also using this narrow stretch of road. […]

Leamaneh Castle

Leamaneh Castle is hidden away in a region of county Clare in Ireland known as the Burren. I’d have never even driven past it had I not got a tip from the owner of a local bakery in Ennistymon.

Ferries operate frequently from the many towns that sit on the edge of the Chiemsee lake. On a clear day it makes for quite the relaxing ride as you float across the […]

Wandering Around Lecce

Italy is one place that’s a real treat to just stroll the streets of any city or town your find yourself in. Be it the popular cities like Rome, Florence and Venice or the smaller out of the way places like Lecce (where this photo was taken) way down south in Puglia. The character and charm of these cities are what really gets me. Take the photo above, walking a […]
