I am in love with Rome. Its mixture of ancient breathtaking monuments right in the middle of a bustling functioning city is mesmerising. I’d love to live there, although I’d be concerned I’d end up taking it for granted. Here are some of my favourite views of the Eternal City

I went across to Indonesia with a cracking little company called Dive Safari Asia. Pulah Weh is a tiny island on the edge of the Indian … More Dive200 – #157 – Octopus flirting!
