Inn Tawang Hotel In Delhi
Hotel Inn Twang is located 3.5 km from the New Delhi Railway Station. Free WiFi access is available in public areas. We stayed at this hotel for two nights at the end of December during our 3 week trip to India. The hotel was offered to us by a tour company, and we got transferred here directly from the airport in Delhi. Despite not being a bad hotel, I doubt I would book it again. The hotel defiantly was cheap, but not for us, as we booked from the travel agency. And we paid like for a decent 4star hotel. Otherwise pretty decent 3-star hotel with all the basic amenities. I believe room could be get here for about $25. For us it cost more like $75 (but not hotel took the money,…

Nahei Cottage near Martvili
Featuring a garden and views of the inner courtyard, the Nahei cottage is a sustainable guest house located some 7 km from Martvili and 35 km from Okatse Canyon.
We booked this place for a one-night stay back in September 2023, while returning from the Svaneti trip. In total we booked three rooms and paid a little bit more than 500 GEL.
Getting here on your own might be a little bit daunting task, as you will need a good SUV car and willingness to drive offroad, even crossing the Abasha river over the concrete plate. While booking we didn't know that, but that makes our stay at this place even more awesome.
It was already getting dark on our arrival. But we managed to order a few…

Postcards from Ushguli
Ushguli is a community of five villages located at the head of the Enguri gorge in Svaneti, Georgia.
Ushguli is one of the highest continuously inhabited settlements in Europe. Compared to somewhat more developed towns like Mestia, Ushguli is not in an accessible location, which has preserved many of the villages' medieval characteristics, including unique defensive tower houses called Svan towers. Because of their preservation and traditional architecture, Ushguli, Mestia, and the surrounding area was recognized as the Upper Svaneti UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996.
I had a chance to visit Ushguli for a few hour visit back in September 2023, during which I made some amazing drone…
Westminster Abbey
Westminster Abbey, formally titled the Collegiate Church of Saint Peter at Westminster, is an Anglican church in the City of Westminster, London, England.

At least 16 royal weddings have taken place at the abbey since 1100.

Although the origins of the church are obscure, there was certainly an abbey operating on the site by the mid-10th century housing Benedictine monks. The church got its first grand building in the 1060s under…
Tower of Love in Svaneti
As you make your way from Mestia to Ushguli, one of the highest settlements in Europe, look out for the “Tower of Love”, which stands on a huge boulder in the river Enguri.
This three-story tower has high floors that are connected with one another by vertical stairs, although you should be especially careful when climbing them. The thick walls of the tower have stood for centuries and are likely to stand for many more.
We forst discovered this tower at the end of September 2023, during our few day trip to Svaneti. We were asked GEL 2 for entrance and were actaully allowed to climb up the tower. I decided not to climb but filmed with a drone.
The root of the tower’s name lies in…
Big Ben
The Elizabeth Tower is the clock tower of the Palace of Westminster in London, England. It contains the Great Clock, a striking clock with five bells. The tower is nicknamed "Big Ben", a name which was originally applied only to the largest bell of the clock.
The tower was officially called the Clock Tower until 2012, when it was renamed to mark the Diamond Jubilee of Elizabeth II.
