The Hotel looks a lot like the Breakers in Palm Beach, but I could tell it wasn't Florida.

It was probably built by Henry Flagler when he was extending his railroad empire into Cuba.

Wikipedia says the hotel was built by Purdy and Henderson.

Yes, to me the opposite: after one mont I'll go there for 3 months. Not a Christmas-person, but interesting to be that time in Rome.

If it's your first time to Rome during Christmas you're in for a treat. It's a magical time of year there......

You`re right Jess. It is a Hurling Stick. I just googled it. I see that the one in the Video looks somewhat different.

The video covers two different sticks (one Irish and one Scottish) and the thumbnail unfortunately features the Scottish one. But it is primarily about hurling and the hurling stick.

I'd have thought a cave would be more difficult to identify....but yes, this is from Nerja.

Google lens is good for sure. To be honest, I wasn't positive about it because I didn't find the same photo, but based on the hits I went with it.

It's on a popular route so if you've been this way before you'll get it. Hint: it's not anywhere close to European landmarks. Razz emoticon
