Driving through Alexandria, there's little to keep your eyes off the road. A blur of brick and mortar speeds by, just another suburb in the city on the sea.

The Canary Islands are well known as one of the best winter sun options in Europe being that they fall on the same line of latitude as Southern Morocco, hovering around the Tropic of Cancer, which is exceptionally temperate year-round. But believe it or not, I (a Brit) had never ventured to the Canaries before - not even to escape the icky British winter[...]

Before I visited St Petersburg, all I knew about it was what I had seen in the animated film Anastasia. I'm not sure what that says about me but I grew up singing "Journey to the Past", feeling terrified of Rasputin's character and in complete awe of how aristocratic the city looked.

The flight there would have us stop over in Dubai and in a an effort to avoid being stuck at Dubai airport over night, I decided to treat him and I to a 3 day stint in Dubai.
