Another in a running list of favourite coffee experiences whilst travelling. I love travelling in Italy although I’ve not done nearly enough of it.

Our travel tidbits have been collected and distilled over years of meandering through backwaters, sitting in all manner of planes, trains and automobiles or a trusty dhoni. We've smoozed check-in staff, sneaked into frequent flyer lounges and generally hung out and asked the locals for the tips that make travelling more enjoyable, more comfortable or just more fun.
We hope you find something interesting or helpful and welcome your comments or suggestions.
Have you ever had dreams where you were flying? I have and they always looked a little like this, although maybe not as extreme.
Not a post about travel or Extreme tours although Norway is an amazing place to take yourself OnTour. This clip is just an amazing piece of scenery, cinematography and base jumping and flying skill.
Enjoy !! See in full screen
Cheers to Simon from PADI UK who sent this through.
