I remember the day. It was the 14th of October 2017 and we had walked up to the Namsam Seoul Tower. It was a very warm day and as you can see the sky was clear blue so we had good views of the city from this point. It is a place where many people […]
We had a mad rush through Brazil’s capital when we visited it. We arrived in the morning and left in the evening. It’s one of those cities built in the heyday of the 20th century when petrol and the private motorcar was king, long before climate change was in the news. As such we didn’t […]
I was very lucky at the end of March this year to return to Paris. You cannot visit this wonderful city without going to the very impressive Eiffel Tower. It was a fairly nice Spring day but unfortunately the sky wasn’t blue on this occasion. I hope that it will be the next time.
