With the Pergamon Museum, Altes Museum, Alte Nationalgalerie, the Neues Museum and the Bode Museum you'll be spoilt for choice so I recommend you spend a couple of days here seeing the sights!

We hadn't intended on spending any time in Las Palmas but just sort of ended up there on our last day. In the end we had a really nice time and were glad that we visited. The Vegueta Old Quarter is lovely, the Cathedral and the Museo Colon are worth seeing. Also, the Playa de las Canteras beach is a fine place for an afternoon beer or cocktail.

The Northern Cemmetery is a estament to the incredible poverty and overcrowding of Cairo. Here people live and eek out a living amongst the tombs. It's quite incredible to explore and notably, much quiter than the rest of the city. It also must rank as one of the safest slums to wander around in in Africa. Though do take precautions anyway.

When visiting a Greek Island, most people would probably avoid the city and prefer to spend their time on the beach. We were surprised at how much we enjoyed a day in Heraklion in Crete. Highlights for us included the History Museum on Sophocleus Venizelou and the Venetian Loggia on 25th August Street.
