		<description><![CDATA[
It&#8217;s early evening in the village surrounding Qala&#8217;at al-Bahrain. The creatively decorated houses remind me of pictues in fairy-tales, especially through the filter of the setting sun. Five horsemen appear out of the dusk in front of the cool silhouette of a large 16th century Portuguese fort. This is the home of Iranians, says Aziz, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Back from Kuwait, Bahrain felt a bit like coming home. I had an early morning flight, so I checked into the Mövenpick Bahrain on Muharraq Island. The Mövenpick is beautiful; very rare for an airport hotel.

On the down side, everything cost extra, incl. use of wifi. Even breakfast is extra. A hefty 7 BD. Hadn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

Italian country roads, especially the small, unpaved ones, aren&#8217;t always clearly marked. As a result, I got lost a few times [...]]]></description>
