Heading for Home as Dusk Falls

I took a short break away from Munich city last summer and stayed over at Wörthsee, a picturesque village on the lake of the same name. The sultry summer weather was perfect and after a swim in the cooling waters I sat on the shore and enjoyed the tranquil scene as a lone paddleboarder returned in the dusk light.

The silhouettes and reflections of the yachts moored nearby added a touch of elegance to the peaceful setting. Enjoyed from Woerthsee in Bavaria, Germany.

Heraklion Harbour Sunset

On the last evening of our wonderful Crete holiday we stayed over in historic Heraklion, the island’s largest city and administrative capital.

I’d deliberately chosen a hotel on the edge of the Old Town within walking distance of the fascinating Venetian Harbour, dating back to the 13th century. I arrived at the harbour just in time to enjoy the last rays of the sun just before it disappeared behind the mountains beyond the bay. As the yachts and boats bobbed on the golden dusk waters, my heart throbbed a little faster. Quite a breathtaking sight. And I clicked away with my camera:-)

Then it was time to head back to a traditional taverna for their welcoming hospitality and local Cretian delicacies.

Vibrant Vittoriosa

On a memorable trip to Malta, we took the local ferry from the capital city of Valletta across the Grand Harbour to Vittoriosa. Together with the districts of Senglea and Cospicua, Vittoriosa is oldest part of the so-called Three Cities (Maltese: It-Tlett Ibliet). These fortified villages are joined together like the umbilical chord near Malta’s historic heart.

We sailed up Harbour Creek, passing luxury yachts moored in the marina that contrasted with the backdrop of historical towers and facades of the impressive waterfront buildings include St. Lawrence’s Church and the Maltese Maritime Museum in the Ex-Naval Bakery. These fascinating places and much more are well worth exploring to find hidden gems of days gone by.

Waterfront Bliss in Key Biscayne

I drove over the impressive Rickenbacker Causway from Miami on the Florida coast to explore the barrier island of Key Biscayne (Spanish: Cayo Vizcaíno) with its beautiful beaches, secluded private moorings and luxury villas.

I could well imagine sitting back on the deck or in the gazebo of my waterfront home, with my yacht moored out front and my golf cart parked alongside my limousine in the garage, enjoying the view across the turquoise waters of Hurricane Harbor Bay. Far beyond this idyllic, peaceful scene, the contrasting skyscrapers and skyline of Downtown Miami are just visible on the horizon. It is a lifestyle I could get used to.

In the Blue Lagoon

On a visit to the fascinating island of Malta I set off for the day on a boat’s tour from Valletta to explore the neighbouring isles of Gozo and Comino.

The Blue Lagoon on Comino island is famous not only for its amazing turquoise waters but also because scenes from the film of the same name were recorded here. It most definitely lives up to its name.
Perfect for swimming or simply chilling with a cocktail on the beach, especially late in the day when most tourists have left.

Of course, as well as taking lots of fab photos, I couldn’t resist bathing in the crystal clear waters too:-)

Dusk Light over the Marina

After an unusually long cold spell, suddenly the summer came back and I took an overnight trip to one of the picturesque lakes west of Munich. And I was rewarded with warm, sultry weather and a fab sunset from the hotel’s private beach.

Imagine sitting back and relaxing on the lake shore with a glass of wine or a cool beer and enjoying Nature’s evening light show. Lake Wörth, Bavaria, Germany.
