  • Kolukkumalai Tea Estate, Tamil Nadu, India... At nearly 8,000 feet above sea level, Kolukkumalai Tea Estate is the highest tea estate in the world. The factory, built in the 1930s, still processes tea using traditional methods. ... On a photography holiday with Frui Creative Holidays, we had driven up the mountains for a sunrise shoot. By the time we arrived at the tea estate after our shoot, and finished a tour of the factory, we were well and truely ready for a cup of tea.

  • Groznjan is a medieval hilltop town on the Istrian peninsula in Croatia. Once a Venetian stronghold, and, in more recent history, at risk of being forgotten, Groznjan is now home to artists and musicians. ... I spent a lovely day in Groznjan on a photography holiday in 2010 with Frui Creative Holidays, being challenged to focus on portrait photography. I failed miserably (my opinion), so concentrated on photographing the small, closely-built stone houses and their pretty, secluded courtyards.

  • Who recognises this palace? Do you remember the rose wine that came in a distinctive narrow-necked, flask-shaped, green bottle? The one that went well with cheese fondue? The one that we dripped candle wax down the sides of once drunk and used as decoration (looked good against the green)? All synonymous with the 1970s! Mateus Palace (pictured) is featured on the label of the Mateus Rose Wine. Boy! Did the memories come flooding back when I visited Mateus Palace on a river cruise the the Douro River Valley in Portugal in 2009! Are your memories stirred? Or am I showing my age here?

Years later, I learned that the Bridge lifts up about 800 times a year! No luck involved! I was just in the right place at the right time.
