227 FacebookHeader PER CUZ MachuPicchu 2014SEPT15 024 Can't help but love making the effort to visit a world renowned site that's covered in thick cloud, but it clears as you draw closer. Machu Picchu is one of only a couple of places I've visited, that I've stood still just to take it all in for a few minutes and simply love the moment. My photo really doesn't do it justice - you simple need to go check it out for yourself - it's that good! — @ Machu Picchu, Cuzco, Peru : 2014, 2014 Mar Del Plata Golden Oldies, Alice Springs Dingoes Rugby Union Football Club, Americas, Cuzco, Golden Oldies Rugby Union, Machupicchu, Peru, Pre-Trip, Rugby Union, September, South America  228 FacebookHeader TZA MAR SerengetiNP 2016DEC24 VisitorCentre 011 Not much of a camouflage effect, but he colours on this lizard were so vibrant, iridescent and striking that you simply go - wow.

233 FacebookHeader MAR CAS Casablanca 2016DEC29 CornicheBoulevard 001 My shot of the Hassan II Mosque came about because of one of those "happen by chance - go with the flow" travel days. While in transit to my hotel, I got talking to another passenger who wanted to hire a car and go check out Casablanca, but was concerned about going on her own. I suggest splitting the costs of a car & driver and see what the day brings - we had an absolute ball not only missing all the touristy crap, we ended up seeing the different sides of Casablanca that contributed to shots like this. — @ Casablanca, Morocco. : 2016, 2016 - African Adventures, Africa, Boulevard de la Corniche, Casablanca, Casablanca-Settat, Date, December, Grande Mosquée Hassan II, Month, Morocco, Northern, Places, Trips, Year  234 FacebookHeader ZWE MATN VictoriaFalls 2016DEC05 075 The 200 metre (650 foot) Victoria Falls Road, Rail & Foot Bridge sits over the Zambezi River and marks the international border between Zimbabwe and Zambia.
