World Heritage Site of Verona, Italy

In fair Verona, where we lay our scene…

Ahh… Verona, the setting of Romeo and Juliet. It makes the place seem so romantic – unless you’re being forced to study it as a school student!

James Joyce Tower, Dublin, Ireland

Where Ulysses all began in Dublin

James Joyce took many of his experiences as inspiration for his masterpiece, Ulysses. You only need to go slightly down the coast from central Dublin to find the first one.

Pyin Oo Lwin, British Resort, Myanmar

Finding the Burmese Days of old

The small town of Pyin Oo Lwin is a reminder of the British colonial times in Myanmar. It was the summer holiday resort during those years and much remains.

City of the Unexpected, Cardiff, Wales

Roald Dahl’s Cardiff

In the city of Roald Dahl, the characters from his books take over the city for a very special celebration of Cardiff.

Windmills at Consuegra, Spain

Don Quixote’s La Mancha

Don Quixote is often described as the greatest novel ever written. Through the landscapes and towns of Spain’s La Mancha region, I find out why.

The power of love

Just what should you expect at Juliet’s House in Verona, Italy. Well… a lot of love, a lot of expressions of love, and some very clever marketing!
