My tip is to get a guided tour, becau…

The Roman Forum doesn't look like much when you first see it, because most of it is in ruins, but when you consider the fact so much remains after thousands of years, it is pretty spectacular. The forum was the central gathering point for religion, commerce, and civic administration. Be sure to ch…

The food is supposed to be based on "anci…

One of my must-sees in Ireland was Newgrange, the 5,000 neolithic tomb complex northwest of Dublin in the Boyne Valley. I took the Mary Gibbons Tour, which also includes the Hill of Tara. Mary is the guide and is very knowledgable and quite funny. The hill offered wonderful views of the Irish countr…

From the same culture that built the majestic Newgrange Passage Tomb Complex, this lesser known but equally stunning structure is worth a visit.
Fourknocks is a Passage Chamber Tomb built over 5000 years ago. It is located 10 miles southeast of Newgrange between Ardcath in County Meath and the Naul…

I have to admit that my reaction to the ruins was kind of mixed. On one hand, it was interesting being able to get a glimpse of an ancient city. You can literally see bodies lying on the ground in their dying positions, mummified into ash. On the other hand, most of the city literally is in ruins. U…

Hampi is one of the 20 odd places maybe you should definitely see before you die.. Ancient royal architecture dating back to the 15th 16th centuries lying intact, rocks positioned in very very bizarre fashions, the 'sab kuch milega' ( translates as we have everything you need) attitude of the locals…
