So many little nooks and viewpoints to explore . The kind of place you visit during a day out and wish you could stay for a month or more ,to take photographs of every thing from every possible angle and even some impossible angles! Captivating!

Manarola, actually. "Cinque terre" means "Five lands" and Manarola is just one out of those five

The next quest is on that mountain. The villagers eill tell me not to go because it's too dangerous. But I'll go because I'm the hero of the story and I need it to complete the game anyway. There's a powerful boss up there and a dungeon filled with treasure.

I love Bled. Been there three times. Have walked around the lake but never actually sailed out to the island. It always pays to save something for next time.

Not what most people would expect to see in Switzerland's Italian-speaking region, Ticino.

This is not Gásadalur, but a small village called Saksun. It's located in the north on the island of Streymoy, the Faroe Islands

The story of the little duckling who will soon leave home for an amazing adventure. This is his/her parent's moment telling an inspirational legend about bravery.

"Aldeias do Xisto" (literally "Schist Villages") is actually a group/organization of historical villages mainly of schist construction. This one is called Foz D'Égua and it's beautiful! (Foz means river mouth, and Égua means mare.) You should check the other "Aldeias do Xisto", they're all awesome.

Many towns in England had "Shambles", but the intelligent councils plowed them down in the 1960's, thank goodness York was left alone.
