Mayan Ruins of Tulum Tulum, Mexico You can’t visit Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula without seeing the Mayan Ruins of Tulum. Here are some useful tips to beat the crowds at this famous archaeological site. Ah, Tulum. This ancient walled city perched on the edge of a cliff in Quintana Roo overlooking the Caribbean ocean in Mexico is quite a sight in person. Because I lived in Mexico on and off for 2 years, I’ve visited the Tulum ruins at least 5 times now.

Cycling the ancient cobbled streets of Ferrara, Italy Italy | Europe Published: December 2018 Disclosure: My accommodation was provided by the Blogville project | This post contains affiliate links With Aperitivo hour rolling in, and one distracted-by-architecture crash under my belt already, it was time to park up our bicycles and settle in for a Spritz, and our now nightly pre-dinner snack fest. Janet and I had spent the day exploring Ferrara by bike, from it’s cobbled Roman streets to its renaissance palace. Ferrara might not be as famous with travellers like Bologna, Modena, or other cities in the Emilia Romagna region, but it makes for an ideal day-trip from Bologna, or an unexpected overnight stay, if you over-indulge in said Spritzs and miss the last train… my bad. Este Castle in Ferrara A relatively compact city, Ferrara’s architecture tells two sides of its history. With both renaissance and Roman art and architecture to celebrate it, Fer...
