Time for three cities to step into the ring in the Baltic showdown to end all showdowns! Okay well, not quite. However, the three Baltic capitals are all cities with something special and indeed different to each other. And it's been ages since I did a city rumble so it was well overdue! The Baltics …

Oooh here we are with a very retro 'Foto/Selfie' Friday. Here I am in Iceland back in 1999 on my very first solo trip around the world. Above I'm in Reykjavik at the bay. Below you'll find me outside the hostel I stayed at near the capital. My goodness I look like a 15 years. …
Following on from yesterday's post I am staying with Iceland this week. A land of harsh beauty, thermal springs, and when I was there in July 1999 amazing blue skies it's very photogenic. I say that knowing I didn't take that many shots when I was there, and of course it was all on film …
‘Twas a long time ago now, on an island far far away, that I journeyed from the capital of Iceland, Reykjavik, northwards to the top of the land and a little town called Akureyri. Which is honestly quite difficult to spell. Iceland had been an interesting place to visit in 1999, although I did not …
Oh yes, it's come around so quickly blink and you would have missed the year that was! Eurovision! When the countries across Europe come together for a song contest. And by Europe, I mean Europe, Israel and Australia! Australia is back at Eurovision after last year where Guy Sebastian became the first Australian to perform …
In my life I’ve been in or through Paris a number of times. I have to be honest with you, it’s not a city I’ve ever really gotten to know – hopefully next year I’ll get the chance to really explore the city. My memories go back as far as 1986 when I was just …
I really liked Poland when I visited. It doesn’t see as many tourists as other countries in the region, although it sees plenty, but there is still something a little authentic about the place. Not as expensive as some parts of Europe, but filled with amazing architecture and some beautiful scenery, Poland is a special …
Friday is upon us again (Thank goodness!) and so here's another one of my rare selfies. This is taken in one of those mirror things in the grounds of the amazing Shonbrunn Palace in Vienna Austria. Man I have stacked on the weight since then!! Take care and May the Journey Never End!
With the honourable exception to Russia, Prague was not only my first introduction to the Czech Republic, but my first taste of Eastern Europe in general. It wasn’t on my list of places to go in Europe on my trip of 1999, however it was always a possibility. I made some good friends as I …
Let me tell you about a day I had back in 2004. I had been in Montenegro for the best part of the week on the cost in Budva, and visited Kotor from there, and let me tell you, it’s so beautiful and a wonderful place to go and I had a brilliant time. 30 …
