Monday's travel video this week is, in keeping with my Saturday post, from Burkina Faso 2007. I return to the scene of the 2006 with a mate and a happier attitude. The video is twelve minutes long and it features Ouagadougou (the capital) and Ouhigouya, on the way to the border with Mali. There's a …
Welcome to Yokohama, Japan’s ‘Bay City’, a place with a hellovalot going on to keep you entertained and interested for days. Yes, the spotlight is shining Japan way and Yokohama is in the centre! The visitor to Yokohama might be justifiably overwhelmed when first arriving. In some ways, though far bigger, nearby Tokyo is easier …
For the last series of Saturdays I have pulled out some old blogs and reflected on my first journey to West Africa. You might think that after contracting malaria in Burkina Faso and the difficult time I had during the trip in general, I’d be sworn off the place. You’d be wrong! After my 1999 …
Japan is full of big, beautiful red gates just like this one near the lake at Hakone.
Today’s post I’m looking at a few museums I’ve visited (and one that I haven’t) that were a little bit different for one reason or another. The world is full of museums, and it’s not very hard to tire of them after seeing a few. Well, here are some that might keep your interest as …
High everyone! Well, I am taking just over a week’s break in November, and the exciting news is that I will be headed to my 71st country, New Zealand. Yes, you’d think that an Aussie would get to New Zealand before they were 40, especially a traveller, but somehow it just never happened. I did …
Howdy folks as another week kicks off. With my series of Saturday posts on West Africa, I thought now would be a good time to show you my short (5 and a half minutes) video I compiled of my time in West Africa. It's a combination of photos and short films I shot with the …
Howdy all on this fine Sunday! I hope you’re well wherever you may be. Today’s ‘Sunday Spotlight’ is more of a photo journey because there isn’t that much to say about this pretty little French village that isn’t better expressed in photos. I visited Lac Leman, in Savoie on the French and Swiss borders in …
Welcome back to Myanmar, where the train rides are bumpy and adventuresome! I love a little train ride with a good reputation for adventure, and here is one such ride, from Pyin Oo Lwin to Kyaukme (pronounced Chow-mei). This is only part of the journey as the train goes further on to Hsipaw and Lashio, …
Hey folks, I thought I’d start up a new series of posts on some of my itineraries. Thought it might be useful for anyone planning a trip to various places at the very least, and I could talk about how I went about it and what worked, what didn’t. My trip to Ethiopia …
