My Bevy of Boat Trips

9009442499?profile=original

The poet William Wordsworth once said that the best way to view the hills of the English Lake District was from a boat on one of the lakes. I’d agree with that; when I was a kid, my holiday job was working on those boats on Lake Windermere.


A lot of time has passed since then, and I’ve amassed many more over the years. Cruises on lakes, river cruises, trips around the harbour, ferry crossings - the only thing I excluded from my list was ocean cruises.

It goes without saying that Easter (aka Holy Week) is a big deal in most countries with majority-Christian traditions (especially in my home country Spain, famous for its Semana Santa extravaganzas in various cities). But as the site of the Vatican and "capital" of Roman Catholicism (and in a sense all of Christendom), the Eternal City is something extra special - and regardless of your own religion (or lack thereof), Settimana Santa here in Rome is quite a cultural if not also spiritua

But while that might provide a measure of temporary relief, for most of us with busy lives the stress is always there, and the headaches come back. For something more long-term, it’s been proven (scientifically, even) that one effective key to across-the-board stress reduction and health promotion is leisure travel. Going on holiday and “getting away from it all” has for example, been shown to

Blue's cool tonality also invokes, among other things, rest and tranquillity; it's even been shown to lower blood pressure. And of course, especially when it's used in architecture, blue never fails to impress - especially when it's the dominant colour scheme, as in a small number of towns and cities throughout the world, such a

While we’ll write about our experience in Dubrovnik and how to best visit the city (in a sustainable way) in a separate post; today’s post is about three beautiful cities along the Dalmatian Coast north of it which we recommend peop
