Everybody told me when you get to Marrakesh be ready for Jamaa el Fna. Having travelled I was somewhat skeptical and with a recent visit to Tunisia I was sure I couldn’t be that surprised… boy was I wrong. An electric blending of souks, food stalls, story tellers and people like I’ve never seen before. Whether sitting on the terrace of Cafe de France where this shot was taken, dining […]

Tunisian Spices
While roaming the Medina in Tunis a couple of weeks ago I spotted many of these shops selling all sorts of spices just like this stacked up on the street. While I’ve not a clue what most of the bags contained, I have to admit I wish this was how I bought my spices instead of out of expensive little jars at the supermarket.
Sign Post at the Golan Heights

The Sea of Galilee at Sunset
I managed to snap the above photo of the sun setting over the Sea of Galilee while enjoying a meal just meters from the water’s edge. It was one of the best ways to end a day of sightseeing in Israel and very close to being the most beautiful sunset I’ve seen in my life. While it’s called the Sea of Galilee it’s much more a lake than a sea […]
