Dine with the Locals… Bon Appetour

April 30, 2015 by Rosemary

Rinita - Giovanni - Inez founders of Bonappetour

Where shall we eat tonight? When I am traveling, one of the things that gets me down is the hundred and one decisions you have to make during the day.  What to eat and where to eat are two that come to mind.

I was keen to try local food, but not keen on eating by myself, and trying to navigate my way through a menu I could not … [Read more...]

Watch out for "You will have time to explore", "Time to yourself", and "You are free this morning"...That means not included … [Read more...]

Allergic to Thailand?

November 16, 2012 by Rosemary

Scratching my legs and getting hives in Thailand It began with an itch, then a bit of a rash. By morning my legs were covered in raised welts. ‘Uh huh’, I remembered from once before, ‘Hives’.

The rash came on while I was at a two day silent retreat in a Buddhist monastery. It spread to my inner arms and chest. All … [Read more...]
