13/1/2016

Perched on the edge of the wild Atlantic, the warmth of windswept County Kerry comes from the locals.
Ireland’s remote south-west corner is unlikely ever to be described as tranquil, gentle or sedate. Rather, it’s a wild and rugged land with a rich and turbulent history that spans millennia.

It’s a survival instinct.

Dark secrets are waiting to be uncovered under the bustling streets of Berlin.
WITH a few precious hours to spare in a big European city, most visitors would head to a world-famous gallery, museum or attraction. I opt for tales of oppression and nuclear Armageddon told in claustrophobic subterranean tunnels. In 1997, a passionate gang of local academics founded Berliner Unterwelten (Berlin Underworld), to preserve and document the city’s underground treasures...

Centuries of prominence at the centre of Europe has provided Berlin with artworks, antiquities and artefacts to stock countless world-class museums, yet the vibe of this city lives very much in the present.
