Andy's Journeys to 71 countries & counting!
Hello, and welcome to another ‘Through My Lens’. Today I feature a series of shots from Sri Lanka, a place I loved visiting and wish I had way more time there. I really only visited Kandy and surrounds (including a day trip to the amazing Sigiriya) as well as a bit of time in Colombo suburbs. My wife and I

There are many museums for many reasons around the world from the torture museums in Bratislava and Sigisoara to the Hat Museum in Kumasi, Ghana (sadly one I haven’t got to yet). Then there are the occasional sport museum, and Melbourne has its very own, at the largest and most famous sporting ground in the country, the MCG. If you’re

Howdy all. This week I continue on my accommodation reviews looking at China. I stayed in three different cities/towns whenst I was there – Yangshuo, Shanghai and Xi’an. All in all I was actually really happy with all my budget digs in China. I managed to get a single room for myself all under 200 yuan (that’s less than $30US,

Hello! It’s time for another ‘Through My Lens’ where I select some of my photos from a particular place I visited and turn them into a post! Today I am reminiscing about my time in Iran, back in 2004. It’s hard to believe that it’s twelve years ago now! I crossed the border from Pakistan (it was part of my

Hi folks, heading back to Cairns for today’s post. Apart from the football, the thing I was most looking forward to in the Top End was taking the railway to Kuranda. So we organised it a couple of days before we went at the hotel lobby where the tour company got us tickets taking the train up and the gondola

To stop for a second wrapping all my accommodation reviews into one post for this once, I felt that Cosmic Guesthouse deserved its own review. Not because it was the most amazing place I’ve ever stayed, neither was it the most dire. But it certainly is an institution. I mean, it’s not often that you find your guesthouse many floors

Time for three cities to step into the ring in the Baltic showdown to end all showdowns! Okay well, not quite. However, the three Baltic capitals are all cities with something special and indeed different to each other. And it’s been ages since I did a city rumble so it was well overdue! The Baltics are a great region of

Melbourne has a wonderful little museum – well it’s not really a museum per se and it’s not that little – in the western suburbs in a place called Spotswood. Sciencework has been thrilling visitors and in particular kids for a long time now with a raft of interactive exhibits that are a lot of fun and of course have

Continuing on from last week’s review of places I stayed at in Laos, today I look at where I stayed in Vang Vieng and the capital, Vientiane. Vang Vieng – Vilay Vong I should start this review off by saying I think this place charges a LOT more than the $10 a night I paid for it, but it wasn’t

Yes it’s four weeks to the day that I fly out to Quito to begin my two month South American adventure. It sounds like a fair whack of time, but honestly for an entire continent with so much to see and do I’ve been a bit exasperated by the fact there’s so much I won’t get to see. Travel for
