Pizzas in Rome are awesome! Each place is totally unique. Avoid the ones that are aimed at tourists and head down the back streets for the true, family-run local joints.

We just made our way from the Trevi Fountain and wandered down the smallest, least touristy looking streets we could find.

This beautiful restaurant in Essaouira is totally exquisite. The decor is retro chic & the food.... wow! The menu is extremely impressive - We had Black Cuttle Fish risotto (divine)and my partner had Lamb Tagine which was a taste sensation. We went back the next evening as we couldn't dream of going anywhere else - it was just too good.

It's the Melbourne Crown Casino and it's massive. Anything and everything you would expect from a mega-casino and more. There are restaurants, bars, a 5-star hotel, huge casino complex - you name it. You could spend a few days there and not even realise.

Curry with a twist - you'll find all the traditional dishes here, but look to the chef's specials at the lovely little curry house, just off Oxford Street. Possibly one of their best signature dishes is the "Special Stuffed Chicken", a succulent chicken breast, stuffed with a potato, lentil and raisin stuffing, covered in a delicious curry sauce (you know the place is authentic since they keep the curry leaves in). The service is always charming and well worth return visits - on a side note they do deliver within the area. So if you're in a hotel and don't want to move from the comforts of you room, or just working late, it's a perfect oppurtunity to order from this well established curry house.

A music festival to rival Glastonbury, end of July. I have been for the last two years and it was fantastic. I camped both times. With the heat forcing you out of your tent by 9am some may prefer one of the hotels but they're already booked out for this year's festival. Most popular bands playing this year are the Arctic Monkeys, Muse, The Hives, The Magic Numbers, The Human League ... and you're guaranteed the sunshine! Having said you're forced out of your tent by 9, a walk to the beach (30 mins) and a sleep in the shade sort you out, followed by a cold communal shower (for some companions one of the holiday's highlights!) then you're ready for the evening of live music, which starts about five and goes on through the night. There's a main stage a second stage and a dance tent, plus market stalls and some rest areas with screens to watch the stages from. Benicassim is a small town on the East coast of Spain and the beaches are beautiful, there are plenty of cafes, bars and restaurants along the beach front and it feels more like a proper holiday than any other festival I've been to. We booked a nice hotel in Valencia for the day after to explore the old town before the flight back - well advised as Valencia has a lot to offer, architecture (Calatrava's City of Arts & Science)gardens and the old town - actually a few days there would be well worth it. Do it!
