Hi all! I'm back sorry for the short absence! Today I'm taking a trip back in time to 2004 when I visited the Serbian capital Belgrade. It's a surprisingly pretty city with a massive fort on the banks of the Danube and some beautiful churches, including St Mark's where there was a wedding on one …
When travelling from Australia or eastern Asia to Europe, there are number of possible airlines and routes to get you there, and one of the most popular, usually flying Emirates, is to go via Dubai. Emirates connects a large number of European cities to a large number of Asian/Australian towns. And I always hear people …

Howdy all. It seems a long time since I did a ‘Sunday Spotlight’ post. I wanted to get away from writing about places from my last couple of trips, so I looked through a few of my old photos and I settled on Munich, the Bavarian capital in Southern Germany. It’s actually a really nice …
Take a trip to the Baltic countries – you won’t regret it! Friendly, less expensive than most of Western Europe, also a great break from the hottest of the Summer weather, all three countries have something special to offer the visitor. All three capitals, Vilnius, Riga and Tallinn are also pretty special, and the most …
Hi all. Well every year… most years, I have a Eurovision post. It happened around 48 hours ago now, the 2018 Grand Final of Eurovision in Lisbon, Portugal. So here we go for this year’s thoughts, and not just this year’s but thoughts on Eurovision’s incredible 62 and a bit years of competition. 1956 saw …
Istanbul is a seriously impressive city. I don’t know if, considering the troubles the country is having right now, it’s getting its usual flow of tourists – I suspect it is not. But for me it was my first taste of Turkey before heading south. Which is a little odd in a way considering I …
A new segment for the blog, something a little different from Sunday Spotlight which has focused on the main in smaller places, now I’m going to turn my attention to the larger cities, capital cities across the world – or large cities in general. And today I’m starting with the Austrian capital, a city that …
Hi all. Just a quick Doctor Who-themed post this Friday for you.

Hallo again! Hope your weekend is going well. This Sunday I’m shining the spotlight on a place I visited earlier this year, the quintessential ‘University Town’ – Cambridge. Sure, there’s Boston in the States, or Oxford much closer, but there’s no doubt that for atmosphere, history, alumni and well… the scale of the universities, Cambridge …
The Hill of Crosses is a pretty stirring sight in the mid-north of Lithuania. According to the occasionally accurate Wikipedia today there are over 100,000 crosses on this hill, and it has become quite the tourist attraction. I went and visited it in 2007, so it’s been ten years and it’s grown. At the time …
