The wonders of Cornwall

Who knew that the cradle of Egyptian civilisation rests in Cornwall? No one, because it doesn't, but that won't stop the wildlife and dinosaur park from creating a display to that effect. Radically pointless.

I finally got to visit Tintagel and only got moderately sunburnt. Besides the steep walks, it was magical.

So many steps....

It is stupidly pretty in all directions

Fally down walls aplenty

Smashing in summer, demented in winter

We took time to visit the picturesque town of Clovelly too. Along the pebble beach is a lush waterfall.

Rome: A trip down memory lane

It appears I didn't just fall accidentally into archaeology. When I was a kid, my parents brought my cousins and I to Rome and we visited every archaeological site it had to offer. Here are some ridiculous photos of me back in 1991 in either the hideous yellow tartan outfit or the pink and blue shell suit, early 90s fashion at its best...

In the catacombs. We were locked in here for 5 hours while our guide went out for lunch and got drunk...

Temples, temples everywhere

More archaeological sites!

On the Spanish steps, I was not impressed

Chilling, 90s -style, at the Roman Forum
