ISRAEL | Sat, 30 Apr 2016 | By iain_and_tamara | Views [973] | Comments [1]
I'll be honest. I didn't really want to go to Israel as I have already been twice before, once with Tamara, and felt like I had already seen pretty much everything that I wanted to see there. Don't get me wrong, it is a fascinating country and I have ... Read more >

NEPAL | Mon, 7 Mar 2011 | By travel-tips | Views [22616] | Comments [2]
It's almost shameful

medieval ... Read more >
