   I'm sure you don't need me to tell you this, but the most famous museum in Paris (and arguably the world) is the Louvre. You'd need a couple of days to appreciate it fully, and it's home to one particularly famous painting of a particularly famous woman with a particularly famous grin. Upon exiting the museum you're faced with a wonderful walk which is where I took today's photo of the day.

   Ask anybody why they love Barcelona so much (and you'll find out that most people do indeed love it) and one thing that will come up time and time again is the nightlife. 'Barcelona nightlife rocks!' and 'Man, I partied so hard in Barcelona I thought I'd need a liver transplant' are just some phrases you might hear when talking of it. A neighbourhood famed for its nightlife is El Born, pictured here one night last September.

   I had great time in Port Elizabeth last year. This city in South Africa’s Eastern Cape is a really popular stop for travellers just about to head off along the Garden Route, and I can see why. From beautiful sandy beaches to safaris, you’ll find plenty of keep you busy in PE.

   Salzburg is not the first city I’ve been in where I’ve wandered across a street chess game in progress. This particular game was taking place in Kapitelplatz behind Salzburg Cathedral and it was being watched by a good crowd.

   I made a couple of trips down to Bačvice Beach during my time in Split and each time it was crowded with people, enjoying the sun, sea and sand. It’s a beautiful beach located around 15 minutes walk from the city centre, and is one of the most popular spots in Split.

   Walking around Mendoza, you'll soon realise it's unlike other South American cities (if you've been to any prior to visiting this one). Other cities on the continent are known for their hecticness and fast pace. But one city that hasn't really adopted this way of life is Mendoza in western Argentina.

   During my stay in Malaga, I discovered that the city’s main shopping street is also really lively at night. While I was there, lots of people were strolling along or hanging out on the benches, even after most of the shops were closed. As I wandered along, I came across carts selling all kinds of delicious treats and some really cool street performers.
