World Cup – South Africa
I was in South Africa for three weeks and loved it…. Contrary to what you may have heard, it is a beautiful country with lots of variety. Capetown is the best of the cities by far… Fantastic location and lots to see. Besides having been to one of the World Cup games, I visited the top [...] -
Fes, Casablanca and more
Fes is a beautiful mix of middle ages and the modern world. The extraordinary medina city of Fes El Bali is worth a few days walking in itself.
