The Square Mile as it’s known is filled with history in every nook and cranny. I have been to the Amphitheatre before as part of a school trip as a child.

Full Guide to Eating in Morocco During Ramadan as a Tourist
Visiting Morocco During Ramadan: What to Expect If you’re visiting Morocco during Ramadan, it’s important to be mindful of local customs. As a tourist, you are not forbidden from eating during the day, but it’s best to avoid eating or drinking in public out of respect for those fasting. Finding breakfast and a morning coffee can be challenging, as many local cafés and restaurants remain closed until later in the day. However, in tourist areas, you can usually find something open. By late afternoon, around 4:00 PM, the markets come alive as Moroccans prepare for the evening meal, so from then on, food options become widely available again.

The Latino Vibe At Kew
I popped down to Kew Gardens to see the much hyped ‘Orchid Festival’ which ran from February to 2nd of March. As a member, we had preferred morning slots. I wasn’t expecting to see a queue when I did turn up at the allotted time. We waited patiently for fifteen minutes before we were allowed in after security bag checks.

Leaving Africa Made Me Realize How Lucky I Am To Be African
Out of nowhere, the tears began to flow. They took me by surprise. "Bye Dad," I whispered as I fixed my eyes on the Helderberg Mountains. I began sobbing quietly as the plane shifted and the Hottentots-Holland Range came into view. We had scattered my father's ashes there months prior. His soul was now at rest in the mountains that made him so happy for two decades.
