Siciliy - Doors of Modica.




As some of you may know, I have a bit of a fascination with doors and door handles, knobs and knockers. Around Sicily you can find some fantastic examples of doors. Sounds stupid I know, but I enjoy them. Here is a collection from Modica, a place where you can stumble around a winding street only to turn a corner and see some great door, peeling paint, rusted hinges, but the fact an unloved door is standing and still attractive is amazing.

Let the doors of Modica start.









Ok, just to show it isn't only in Modica that cool doors exists..... here we are in Syracuse
In syracuse

In Noto, I swear it looks like a man with a zipped up mouth.
One day I will finally compile all my knobs, knockers and handles. I have plenty that is for sure.

Andalucia - Puerto de Santa Maria

Many people when they go to Andalucia they go to Cadiz for a day or two to enjoy one of the oldest cities in Spain. But, there is a great alternative to staying there which can be costly at times. Going to stay at Puerto de Santa Maria is cheaper, and only a short ferry ride across the bay. It is a really pretty town, has some nice beaches and seafood locations and is a great place to run in the cool mornings. We had some great breakfasts there and it is a nice base to explore the surrounds as well.











We were lucky enough to be there on a festival night so we got some fun singing group performing while we had some tapas.

Maybe a good idea to get your wine by the litre, Mosto is even cheaper than petrol.....

More about town.


It looks a little like a Monet picture but it is again in Pole Mokotowskie around the small fish ponds.

My favourite building, that I want to turn into a gallery when I win the lottery.....







best milky bar in town. Prasowy




I got the Klucze to life.

Sneaky pałac

I think this is someones lost superhero action figure....










Finish the day or walking about with a mustard marinated beef roast.
