The summer months have commenced. The heat has abruptly pushed away the cosy winter days and cut short the spring bloom. In this onset of heat, the cool evening breeze is a daily relief, the anticipation of a satisfying summer break away from the heat – the apparent goal of the season!
It makes sense to contemplate life and its many subtle plays, far far away from reality and the day’s labour, cocooned in luxury while making the intricate decisions of whether to invest two hours in a renowned spa or spend the afternoon sipping champagne as the sun glides across the blue.

The residents of the equator generally tend to look up north for such opportunities, be it summer or winter. The big ol’ Europe has a tendency of fitting the broad bill, a mix of culture – city – history – weather – cuisines combo. Tuscany and the French Rivera, with their abundance of luxury, charm and indulgence, are the destination of preference.
