I have added pictures from my latest trip: an Atlantic crossing on the Cunard Queen Mary 2.

She is the latest liner to have been built. Although she has been surpassed since, she was the largest passenger ship having ever been built at the time of her construction (2003).

You will find plenty of pictures of the crossing, the decks, interiors, sights, ... in this gallery.

The Kruger Park stretches for 360km North to South. This enables a variety of landscapes, from mountains to vast plains, and from forests to open grassland. There are also a few rivers crossing the park, providing well-needed water to the wildlife.

Wherever you are in the park, sunrises and sunsets are always beautiful.

Wroclaw – the capital of Lower Silesia - is one of the oldest cities of Poland. Its turbulent history is embedded in the city walls and buildings. Thus, the city abounds in historic sights erected in various epochs and in different architectural styles.Although less known than Krakow, it is well worth a visit!

Almost one-third of the 4,000-metre mountains in the Alps are grouped around this word-famous health resort, which has been visited by mountaineers from all around the world since the first successful ascent of the Matterhorn in 1865.” (Source: Zermatt Tourism)
