129-2020 – Chamomile


Today’s photo of the day, part of “a photo a day challenge 2020”, was taken in my front communal garden, and is a close-up on a chamomile flower.

Coalhouse Fort at sunset


Coalhouse Fort is an artillery fort in the eastern English county of Essex and occupies a strategic location on the north bank of the River Thames, fronted by a moat and saltmarshes. It was built in the 1860s to guard the lower Thames against seaborne attack. It stands at Coalhouse Point on the north bank of the river, at a location near East Tilbury that was vulnerable to raiders and invaders.

Costa Maya, Mexico


Costa Maya, Mexico used to be one of Carnival Valor’s stops on the western Carribean itinerary in 2006. The Cruise ships usually docked there when not able to dock somewhere else due to rough sea or because of the destruction caused by Hurricane Wilma and Emily in 2005.

Atlantis Bahamas on Paradise Island


Atlantis is located on Paradise Island, Bahamas and was my favourite place to visit while working as Audio Visual Staff onboard Carnival Triumph. For over 3 years I travelled and filmed the most exclusive resorts in the Caribbeans. If you would ask me which all-inclusive resort I would choose to spend my family holiday, I would definitely recommend Atlantis Bahamas on Paradise Island, without hesitation. In 2006, I was working onboard Carnival Valor when I visited Atlantis again with my parents.

Memories from Saint Martin

At the time (2005-2006), I was working onboard the Carnival Valor as Audio Visual Staff. Open Deck, Carnival Valor Golden Eagle Catamaran, Saint Martin
