Melbourne took me by surprise - very developed and cultured. Excellent cafe's and resturants and a creative energy you can see bursting from it's continually evolving skyline. Although possibly without the depth of Sydney, Melbourne will leave you feeling great about life and wanting to return.
I had wanted to visit Tasmania since a child - has one of those names! Hobart is the perfect introduction to the island. Small but relaxed and vibrant with friendly locals. Great cafe culture, great architecture with a pleasing eco feel to everything.
I have been here a few times now. Alas always on business but I have managed to fit in some exploring on each trip. Hard to sum up this place - there is so much on offer. Go, explore, go again, explore some more, repeat. As with most great cities the more you visit the more it opens up to you.
Too many tat shops for my liking but a lovely place all the same. Stunning views from the castle - worth the visit for that alone.
This was one the more attractive towns I saw in Albania. Very relaxing atmosphere and some great resturants. Well worth the visit.
Not a big site but the location is stunning with panoramic views over some of Albania's countryside. Nice cafe at the top to enjoy a cold drink under some well aged olive trees.

I have been to Ko Samui a couple of times now, once back in the early 90's when it still had alot of it's small island charm and again a couple of years back when the change brought by tourism came as something of a shock. Chaweng was unrecognisable have morphed into a very slick tourist resort complete with fast food chains and western super markets (they even have a proper road now!). Lamai was less developed and still retains some charm but my favourite part of the island now is Bophut just beyond the Big Buddha. It is an old fishermens village with charming wooden buildings, great beaches, bars and restuarants and views of Ko Pha-Ngan. It has a far more relaxed feel than Chaweng or Lamai and watching the sunset while enjoying a Mai Tai in the Starfish and Coffee bar is worth the visit alone.
Lovely hotel in a relatively new part of Marrakech. Doesn't have the feeling of history that some of the riads in the Medina evoke but makes up for this with a modern contempory feel. They have a great restuarant with the option to eat al fresco and a swimming pool - quite rare for Morocco!Didn't get the chance to try the spa - will try and do so next time!
