Our Palace, Giovanezza

22 Jul 2021 128
14th century building. We booked it on AirBnB. Gorgeous character filled building in the heart of Giovanezza Old Town. To be honest, we only ended up in this wonderful coastal town because we found the accommodation!

Reggia di Caserta - Built to Surpass Versailles

03 Jul 2021 152
Apparently, one of the architectural briefs explicitly stated that this palace was to surpass Versailles. Not far from Naples, it was built over decades, and added and modified for many more after that.

Selfie Time Again

01 Jan 2019 169
Locals are frequently asking us to be in their selfies. Generally, guys want me in theirs, and girls want Jo. Sometimes, we are both included. But they don't want someone else to take the photo - it is always a selfie.

Evening Inside Deoksugung

13 Jul 2017 241
We were on our way here, and were sidetracked by a concert in Seoul Plaza (note lights shining up in background of pic). The delay meant we arrived at the gates of Deoksugong ten minutes after last entry. The first guard was quick to indicate we were too late and would have to return another day, but another came over, smiled, waved us in, and told us to remember they close soon. We still had ample time to enjoy this wonderful palace as the lights came on.

The mighty fort of Jodhpur, behind. We had coffee on this rooftop. And breakfast one morning. And dinner one evening. Had chai while waiting for our bus...

One of the Many Courtyards

11 Jan 2011 163
The fort of Bikaner is really just a series of courtyards and palaces built by successive Maharajahs. Junagarh, Bikaner.
