Looks like the sky will continue to cater for all ages for the time being.

Marriott International continues to expand its #LoveTravels campaign which promotes diversity and inspiring stories that show how people bring their passions with them when travelling. The campaign embraces the unique perspectives and experiences of travellers, through user generated content shared on Twitter and Facebook.

Best you snap in secret next time you’re dining on gourmet wurst in a German restaurant.
