If you really want to get to see and understand Ireland, don’t stay in Dublin. If you want to get an insight into Spain, don’t stay in Madrid.

We’ve probably had them during my lifetime in the UK too, but I suppose there’s less chance of getting a cloudless night. Australia, however, hardly ever doesn’t have clear skies.
