Dar Cherifa, Marrakech
This is a 16th Century riad in the heart of the Medina which poses as a literary cafe and art gallery. We stopped for lunch and a quiet place to recharge our batteries after the madness and heat of the souks!

ali ben youssef medersa, marrakesh
the glorious atrium of the ali ben youssef medersa in marrakesh.
this koranic school was founded by the Merenid sultan Abou el-Hassan in the mid-14th century, and was rebuilt by the Saadian sultan Moulay Abdallah in the 16th century. architecturally, and with its sumptuous decoration, it is on a par with the Merenid medersas, particularly the Bou Inania Medersa of Fes.

Ait Ben Hadou
The ksar, a group of earthen buildings surrounded by high walls, is a traditional pre-Saharan habitat. The houses crowd together within the defensive walls, which are reinforced by corner towers. Ait-Ben-Haddou, in Ouarzazate province, is a striking example of the architecture of southern Morocco.

Portofino a village of rare beauty
Portofino is a small Italian fishing village, comune and tourist resort located in the province of Genoa on the Italian Riviera. The town crowded round its small harbour is considered to be among the most beautiful Mediterranean ports. Portofino was founded by the Romans and named Portus Delphini, or Port of the Dolphin, because of the large number of dolphins that inhabited the Tigullian Gulf. Portofino has even been recreated in detail around the harbor at Tokyo DisneySea in Chiba, Japan, and to a much lesser extent, the Portofino Bay Resort at Universal Orlando Resort in Orlando, USA.
Portofino's beautiful bay and top hotels, attracts the rich and famous. Hollywood stars such as George Clooney, Tom Cruise, Meg Ryan, Barbra Streisand, Robert De Niro and Denzel Washington often come in the summer - as well as millionaires, moguls and models from all over the world. From around Easter to late autumn, day trippers also flock to the resort, to soak up its exclusive atmosphere.

Ivy Manor
The most beautiful home in all of Steveston- complete with tennis courts, duck filled ponds, waterfalls, swimming pools and a bowling alley. Amazing.
