AdvertisementStill, I held onto the hope that since my friend had invited us, she would pick up the tab. But an elevated CA-125 is not a diagnosis, and we wouldn't know anything for sure until I saw an oncologist. We lived and enjoyed and spent money the way I liked to now — not on fancy meals but on memories. It's been four and a half years since my friend's birthday dinner. Sometimes, if I'm not as close with the people who have invited me or I'd rather save money, I opt out.

CNN —South Africa is home to some of the most luxurious, nostalgic train journeys on offer anywhere in the world. But for certain enthusiasts, a train going nowhere is the country’s star attraction. Kruger Shalati: The Train on the Bridge is a hotel in Skukuza in Kruger National Park, one of Africa’s largest game reserves and part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. “The culture of steam trains and the culture of historical trains I think is beginning to re-emerge,” says Mabena. “We don’t have a moving steam train, but one day, I think we will.”

☆ Inside Solo Per Due in Italy, 'world's smallest restaurant'
▼ + stars: | 2023-06-12 | by ( Silvia Marchetti | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +7 min

Solo Per Due – “Just for Two” in Italian – is no ordinary restaurant, and not just because of its tiny size. Its owners claim it is the smallest fine-dining establishment not only in Italy but in the world, too. Guests are required to arrive at a specific time agreed by the owners, who prepare and serve the elaborate food. “This is not a restaurant – we offer a unique, intimate experience which is at the core of our decades-long reputation. Upon request, a private driver can be arranged to pick up guests, and fireworks can be staged in the garden.

☆ Ayvalık and Cunda: Turkey's prettiest Aegean coast resorts
▼ + stars: | 2023-05-24 | by ( Feride Yalav-Heckeroth | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +9 min

Alongside classic beach towns like Bodrum and Alaçatı, two of the coast’s loveliest spots are the little-known seaside town of Ayvalık and the nearby island of Cunda. Near the Taksiyarhis Memorial Museum, in a beautifully renovated historic house with large arched windows, is Moyy Atölye. For a truly Aegean dining experience inside an olive grove, Karina Ayvalık is worth the 10-minute drive south to the village of Küçükköy. “I can breathe in the Aegean air and feel history as I walk through the old streets with their historic houses. Getting lost on Cunda leads to discoveries – like the Cunda Taksiyarhis Rahmi M. Koç Museum inside a renovated Greek Orthodox church with a collection of antique cars, motorcycles and toys.

6:30 Graze on avant-garde creationsMost of the restaurants founded by Albert Adrià, formerly of elBulli, the groundbreaking restaurant 90 minutes north of the city that closed in 2011, did not survive the pandemic. But Enigma , his flagship creation in Poble Sec, has not merely survived but been reborn. Here, amid icily eerie décor, both the hours (Enigma opens at the thoroughly unSpanish dinner hour of 6.30 p.m) and the menu itself, with highlights like an impossibly light “air” waffle flavored with basil, and a chervil-slicked mushroom carpaccio that recreates an elBulli classic, allows for early evening grazing — although most diners have a hard time pulling themselves away with anything less than the full gastronomic experience. Most of the individual dishes range from 7 to 20 euros.
