We've just been here the one night with the Intrepid tour and later today we take another speed boat across to Isla San Cristobel. That willbe the third and final island for the tour. …

Adventures in Galapagos
Well folks here I am on Isla Isabella, the largest island in the Galapagos. Another long expedition from Quito to Isabella - starting at 430am and ending around 12 hours later. Firstly up at four for a pickup at four thirty to Quito Airport. At the airport we all had an extra baggage search as …
And … I’m in Quito
Yes! Here I am in the capital of Ecuador, Quito. I made it safely after five flights and managed to finally put my head to pillow after waking up at 430am Sunday morning after around 40 hours. I had to decide not to go out and celebrate the simply astonishing win of the premiership by …
The Final Few Days Before I Go…
Yes it’s THAT close now! Pretty exciting for sure. Actually it’s proven to be a very surreal time in Australia as I count down to Sunday when I fly out to Quito. But the strangest thing has happened. You may recall my posts of last year and I think the year before about going to …
Sri Lanka – Through My Lens
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 …

Then there are the occasional sport museum, and Melbourne has its very own, at the largest and most famous sporting ground in the …

Iran – Through My Lens
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 …
Train Journeys – Kuranda, Australia (with Gondola)
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 …

Accommodation Review – Cosmic Guesthouse, Hong Kong
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 …
