Barcelona can offer an interesting shopping experience for shoppers as it has a range of well-known high st stores, designer outlets and unique shops. The town lures the style aware and trendy to its streets to spend their well earned cash on attire, jewellery, souvenirs and furniture.

There are many main shopping areas found round the town, lots of it pedestrians so you can shop safely without dodging cars and troubling about traffic. Starting from the waterfront you can shop right up the length of La Rambla, thru Placa de Catalunya and all of the way to Passeig de Gracia. Spend several hours exploring all of the boutiques down the side streets shooting off from these main areas, and then there's rather more to be found at Avinguda Diagonal with Calvin Klein, Giorgio Armani, Gianni Versace and Gucci.

Rome the eternal town? Naturally, if you think of all of the treasures and creative masterpieces in the capital that represent human civilization from traditional Roman times, thru the Renaissance and Baroque. But Rome is also way more than this. In recent times it's become an open-air inventive and cultural workshop.

A store that has changed into one of the most popular in the town opened some time ago right adjacent to the Hotel dei Piranesi. It's a boutique, a feng shui furniture centre, a florists, a caf, a restaurant , a skill studio, a bookshop, a beauty salon, in a nutshell it's a idea store called Tad. In the heart of Rome this is the perfect place to start your day, it's a modular space of one thousand square metres, streamlined and finished with gaudy colours, housing a varied collection of items for the home and for private use.

5142879324 3bee2bb02f m Travel Photo of the Week   Sunset at Sunset Strip, Fiji


Sunset at Sunset Strip, Fiji

Originally uploaded by kelvinlls

Sunsets – one of nature’s best display of lights! It’s my favourite time of the day to take photos, and everywhere I go, I always try and find a great spot to take a sunset photo.

I took this photo on April 2009 on my last trip to Fiji. This is from the Coral Coast, by the Sunset Strip, as the locals called it. This place was the best spot on the main island of Viti Levu to view a sunset. Though the sun hid behind the clouds, I still love this photo. I love the hues of the sky and the water.
