Travel with Kat

The Sheraton Gambia Resort and Spa is a lovely hotel built on the hillside beside the shores of the Atlantic Ocean. I have visited it a number of times on photographic assignments, including when it very first opened but when I went there last month and stepped out of the taxi I immediately noticed a [...]

Well that was tough! With so many wonderful images submitted to the competition it was very hard to choose a favourite. It was interesting to see that each of the three judges picked a different winner to award the top marks of 10 points to. Each judges second choice received 9 points, their third choice [...]

The deadline for my travel photography competition on the theme ‘Discovering new countries, cultures & cuisines’ has come and gone and the winner will be announced soon. I’m delighted to let you know that Michael Turtle, a former broadcast journalist from Australia who is now travelling the world indefinitely, will be joining myself and Lynda, [...]

Earlier in the month I took you on a mini tour through Corsica by car and showed you just a few of the breathtaking views and delightful hill-top villages that can only by reached by car (or the most arduous of bike rides). Today I’d like to take you to the hamlet of Girolata on [...]

Cape Verde (or Cabo Verde) is an archipelago about 400 miles west of Senegal in West Africa. Many people visit to enjoy its spectacular beaches, especially on the islands of Boa Vista, where the sand dunes stretch for miles and miles, and Sal, famed for its watersports. Others are lured here by the spectacular mountains [...]

When I saw that the subject for the next round of Travel Photo Roulette was ‘Serendipity’ I felt a bit stumped. Did I have a photo that fitted this theme? This round, as always, is being hosted by the winner of the previous round, in this case James from Fly, Icarus, Fly. Visit his site [...]

Cycling around the island has [...]
