The Lake at Periyar National Park
Bahia Palace, Marrakech
A couple of years ago we spent a wonderful long weekend discovering the delights of Marrakech. Bahia Palace, with it’s exquisite architecture and decorations was an oasis of peace away from the madness of Jamaa El-Fnaa (which we loved, by the way). It is most definitely worth a visit. These are just a few examples of its gorgeousness!
Three Views of Phewa Lake, Pokhara, Nepal
You can take a peaceful boat ride from the town of Pokhara which is strung along the shore of lovely Phewa Lake. If you wish the boats will drop you at the little island where the Taal Barahi Temple stands.
Serendipitous Shires
Shanti Stupa, Pokhara, Nepal
This beautiful Buddhist Peace Pagoda is set high on a hill overlooking Pokhara. I’m afraid we chickened out and took a hair-raising taxi ride to the top. But so worth it, for the peace, the clean clear air, and the views of the mountains with Pokhara laid out like a tablecloth beneath them. Gorgeous.
Delhi, India
Hmm…bit worrying!
A kiss from an Ostrich
Took this at our local wildlife park, Wetlands, a couple of years ago. Not sure if he wanted to kiss me or peck my eye out. Either way, he was having a good look!
