On 28 Jan 202027 Jan 2020 By Andy RoamsIn Europe, travel photography5 Comments

Hi all! Well, today I am presenting a (quite large) collection of pics I took in Barcelona in November. I'm sure you'll agree it's quite the photogenic city!   Thanks for popping by! Take care and May the Journey Never End!

Why I was Impressed by Minsk

On 19 Jan 202018 Jan 2020 By Andy RoamsIn Europe, travel4 Comments

Hi all. Today I want to look back at perhaps the ‘odd place out’ of my 2019 itinerary, which was the city of Minsk, capital of Belarus. For me, I took the opportunity because in the change in visa laws which made a country difficult to enter because of a series of bureaucratic procedures needed …

More Porto and the Beginning of the End!

On 12 Dec 2019 By Andy RoamsIn adventure, Europe, travel2 Comments

Right now I am sitting on the train on my way back to Lisbon, this is the first journey of a few that will take me back home to Melbourne. It’s been a serious sort of trip, non-stop for the most part and not the way I will approach my next getaway, it’s been rewarding, …

Port, Porto, Portugal

On 10 Dec 201910 Dec 2019 By Andy RoamsIn Europe, travel, travel stories3 Comments

Have you ever wondered where Port wine came from? Well, it's right here in Porto, northern Portugal. Oh, you knew and it's just me? Well now I feel stupid. Anyways, it's hard to believe that come Saturday I'll home in Melbourne and reality will be sinking back in. But before then there are just a …

Porto at Night

On 8 Dec 2019 By Andy RoamsIn cities, Europe, photography2 Comments

Hi all! We've arrived in Porto this afternoon and we headed out for dinner. Porto at night is.. not too bad at all so I thought I would share a couple of photos with you. Thanks for stopping by! May the Journey Never End!

Last Day in Lisbon and the Palaces of Sintra. And which Head of State did I get within 2 metres of?

Landing in Lisbon

On 4 Dec 2019 By Andy RoamsIn blogging, Europe, travel4 Comments

Yes, I’m back at it again, this time from Portugal. The last proper stop of this journey (bar a few hours in Singapore on the way home) has me visiting Lisbon and Porto. We touched down yesterday morning, thanks to a time difference between Spain and Portugal slightly before I left Seville. The approach over …

Stepping Into Seville!

On 30 Nov 2019 By Andy RoamsIn adventure, backpacking, Europe7 Comments

You can’t stop me with my alliteration! Well, here I am in another town, another place, same country! So again begins the process of bringing you up to speed on the latest from me and this year’s adventure. As I last wrote, I was on my second last day in Barcelona. My last day whizzed …

Gaudi’s Barcelona

On 27 Nov 2019 By Andy RoamsIn architecture, backpacking, Europe1 Comment

Howdy all from Barcelona. It’s been another non-stop few days in this city and I’ve one more to go! When last you joined me, I was about to head off to a Flamenco performance at the Palau de la Musica de Catalunya two nights ago. This venue is pretty amazing actually, and was one of …

Bouncing Into Barcelona!

On 25 Nov 2019 By Andy RoamsIn Europe, travel2 Comments

Hi all, you now find me in Spain! Yes, I’ve travelled somewhat southwards from Belarus on what was a bit of a bumpy flight from Minsk to Barcelona, the capital of Catalonia. It was another early morning, but at least this time I flew in direct. I had to go to the tourist information desk …
