Foto Friday – Beautiful Church, St Petersburg
This church, in the style of St Basil's in Moscow, came across me by surprise when I was walking down Nevsky Prospect, however it is now considered a major tourist attraction in St Petersburg. It's the Church of the Saviour of Spilled Blood.
Travel and Hospitals – Burkina Faso, Part Two
After my experiences in Banfora, I hoped I wouldn’t end up in another hospital in Burkina Faso. BAH! I ended up in another TWO! Suffice to say it’s not the ideal country to end up in hospital in, should you have a choice. In Bobo-Diolosso I was taken the main hospital there. Far far bigger …

The Wednesday Review – Qantas Airways
You know that earlier in the year I bemoaned Jetstar and having to travel on budget airlines. This trip I made a firm decision that I wasn’t going to fall into that trap again. To be honest, the price difference wasn’t that much, and especially for the first flight, from Melbourne to Sydney, there was …
Getting Your Hobbit On. At Hobbiton, New Zealand.
Yes, my obsession with ridiculous titles for my blog posts shows no signs whatsoever of abating! I’m not sure if everyone is aware, but the farm used for ‘The Shire’ as part of the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings films is now a tourist attraction. It’s basically a large number of various sized doors …

Foto Friday – The Colours of Waiotapu
The colours of the geothermal spring at Waiotapu, near Rotorua, New Zealand, are absolutely stunning. The sulphur and other gases and minerals produce some amazing effects and bright colours. And when you toggle the colour saturation, it turns out quite special!
Hospitals, Travel and Me – Burkina Faso (Part One)
Here’s my final two parts of my hospital experiences. Burkina Faso, and this is where it all happened, I got my first ever serious tropical disease, malaria. I was in Banfora, a large town (but definitely a town) six or so hours south west of the capital Ouagadougou. I remember the lead up – I’d …

The Wednesday Review – Park Royal Hotel, Melbourne Airport
My wife said to me that every time we fork out for an expensive hotel, we never get to stay long there. Well, never was this more true as the prologue to our most recent trip when we stayed at the Park Royal Hotel at Melbourne Airport. With a six AM flight the next morning, …
