Las Vistas beach

We take off at midday, with the sun indicating the direction of our travel – south, directly south. 4.5 hours later, we land at Tenerife South Airport. This place is in the same time zone as Britain, but its in a completely different season. The sun seems to shine here every day and its seriously hot right from the start – you need sunblock for your 9am breakfast in the balcony. The first few days we laugh at all the … Continue reading

Hindustani Ambassador

We knew long ago that before returning to Europe, especially in time for winter, we’ll want to spend some time on the beach. Over 3 weeks we visited 3 towns on the east coast of India, in the states of West Bengal and Orrisa. Here’s what we found there. First stop, the small town of Mandarmoni, 150km south from Kolkata (which was a surprsingly nice place, with excellent food and even sidewalks on most streets!). Praised by every Indian we … Continue reading
