Normandy – In Pictures

On 21 Apr 202020 Apr 2020 By AndysWorldJourneysIn Europe, photography, travel6 Comments

Time for a virtual tour courtesy of my lens! It's nearly been three years since I was in France last, and my wife and I went up to Normandy to visit one of her friends who lived in a small village called La Neauve Lyre. We stayed in this amazing ramshackle house, and the countryside …

Festival at Miesbach, A VERY Bavarian Town

On 7 Apr 20206 Apr 2020 By AndysWorldJourneysIn Europe, travelLeave a comment

Grüss Gott meine Fraunde - "Grüss Gott" is the regular greeting in the German province of Bavaria, which is where I am taking a trip down memory lane to the last time I was in this part of the world - which happens to be 2011. I have been a few places over Germany, but …

On 4 Mar 20203 Mar 2020 By AndysWorldJourneysIn Europe, travel photography2 Comments

Seville - a city in the South of Spain, with a huge castle (Alcazar) a Bull Ring and a massive cathedral with a tall tower. And, much more! Here's how my camera found it - (SPOILERS - beautiful!) Thanks for dropping by - May the Journey Never End!

Lisbon’s Number 28 Tram

On 1 Mar 202029 Feb 2020 By AndysWorldJourneysIn Europe, travel, travel tips1 Comment

Lisbon is a pretty cool city all told, and the thing I personally liked most about it was the number of transport options, LOCAL transport options. You have the trams, the metro, buses of course, then you have these sort of ‘funiculars’ which take people up (and down) exceedingly steep hills. On top of that …

Why I was Impressed by Minsk

On 19 Jan 202018 Jan 2020 By AndysWorldJourneysIn 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 …

On 12 Dec 2019 By AndysWorldJourneysIn 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 AndysWorldJourneysIn 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 …
