With all due love and respect to 1960's singer Del Shannon, we couldn't pass up an opportunity for a pun. Look the other way if corny is not your thing. We all have "a thing" whether it's music, or art, or travel. Good on ya' as we say in the UK. …
Whole lotta Meota? It’s only natural, eh?
From a local perspective: “For us, people of Lille, it is the truth that counts, not the frills and fripperies.” – A saying featured on the Hauts-de-France Tourism website
There is no such thing as a low risk lap in Monaco. It doesn’t exist if you want to be fast, because you have to be on the limit. Lewis Hamilton
Think carefully when you venture to places not well researched by you.
“Life is like a train ride. The passengers on the train are seemingly going to the same destination as you, but based on their belief in you or their belief that the train will get them to their desired destination they will stay on the ride or they will get off somewhere during the trip.”
We're just like you. We want the best. We long for the new or the old. We search for the unusual. We go the extra distance to step away from the tired or the regular. That doesn't make us snobs. That makes us curious and forward thinking. So,…
. . . and it has a lot for you to see and do. Those in the historical know will have some background or history with Chile. A genuinely fascinating and unforgettable place, and one that sometimes hides shyly in the travel shadows. Given how travel is nowadays, with the hoards of "influencers"…
Dust. The Japanese service stations are leaving the rest of us in the dust. Wow! When we lived in the UK, we were rather impressed with our roadside services, especially with the ease of entering and exiting. We also appreciated how we could just step out side our car, stretch and sometimes…
Noooo. It's Butlins! We're all about fun. And we're all about history. Put them together and the fun never stops. There was a period in history where more and more families were seeing more and more money in their bank accounts. This also aligns with them having more children who…
We're not trying to make you go, oh no, no no. But, if love is in your heart for almost everything, we have something here that is nothing but wonderful. Imagine watching a crumbled mess of a building almost be

So . . . .you've got to please yourself. Le Corbusier, like most artists, was simultaneously a prophet and a pariah of sorts of the architectural world, a figure whose influence was as immense as the controversy he inspired. He was admired for his revolutionary vision of a new, functionalist architecture and criticized for his…
George Harrison's home in the London area was Friar Park, a neo-Gothic mansion in Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, which he purchased in 1970 and lived in until his death. While not in central London, Henley is in the wider London area. He also lived in his childhood home at 12 Arnold Grove in Liverpool and later owned Bhaktivedanta Manor in Hertfordshire, which…
History is peculiar. Is it correct? Is it real? Who are the victors, and why? Lots of questions. Luckily, we have the will, the brains and, nowadays, the technology to separate the wheat from the chaff. One bit of history that has persisted for many decades in American history is…
Is this typical European efficiency or someone's idea of a joke. Or both? The Netherlands and Belgium share a 450 km border, which is notable for its complexity, particularly in the town of Baarle. This border is part of the Schengen Area, meaning there are no regular passport checks. The border's intricacies stem from historical treaties and land swaps, resulting…
