An island hopping and cycle adventure awaits

Written by Scott Dunn team on 8 July 2011

The extraordinary geographical formation of the long, rugged Dalmatian coast offered an exciting mix of adventure and activity. We took two weeks to travel the Stegosaurus-like ridge, flying into Dubrovnik and out of Venice. We had a lot of ground to cover but we had set ourselves the challenge and we knew it could be done, it had to be done, whether on two, four, or no wheels, we would traverse this land.

As we reached our destination of the gates to the Taktsang Dzong monastery I felt utterly exhilerated by the astonishing beauty of this extraordinary complex clinging to the edge of the cliff. The hike was immediately worth this reward, this holy site offers the rare moment where time feels as though it stands still.

Top 5 Spanish tapas

Written by Scott Dunn team on 29 June 2011

Tapa translated means ‘lid’; the story goes that glasses of wine were served topped with a slice of bread with the purpose of keeping the flies out. However, before long, the cunning patrons realised the added business value that accompanied this, and they started offering an extra slice of cheese to the bread, or an anchovy, or a wafer-thin slice of jamon. Tapas became the perfect and most civilized drinking partner.
