This place hardly needs an introduction but the Majorelle Gardens are the gardens around Yves Saint Laurent’s home in Marrakech, now the YSL Museum.

Two Weeks in Europe : A Complete Itinerary
Lets start by saying that 2 weeks are no where enough to see the whole of Europe. Nor is 2 months, probably not even 2 years. But since our travel budget doesn’t always allow us to vacation in Europe permanently, two weeks it usually is. We travelled to London and Europe last November for the first time, and…
Kruger, South Africa – My First Safari, With Every Single Detail To Help You Plan Yours
I did think of doing one single post for South Africa but realised it would just get too long.
