Hi folks. Back with another review of a place I stayed, we’re now rolling out the ones from my latest adventure. In Beijing I prebooked through hotels dot com. I’ve finally got to the point where I get a free night and am actually pretty close to another so that’s very exciting. I rifled through …

Howdy all. I type this blog post today as I take the bus to Charles de Gaulle from Rouen. Very lucky to have a bus that doesn't stop in Paris. We will overnight at the Ibis at the airport before we fly off tomorrow for six days in Japan before returning home to Melbourne. So …
Greetings and so forth from Ulaan Baatar! I've just had a day of seeing the sights as it were, and finally have enough free time to blog about stuff I've been doing. For now, I want to take you back to Friday. My second day in Mongolia, I decided to take a tour to Terelj. …
The Ibis is a bit of an institution in a way I guess for me. I first stayed in one in 2006 at Charles de Gaulle Airport. I’m going back there in June. They are reasonably reliable, if simple, comfortable places to stay. Not expensive generally depending on where you are, but also quite plastic …

The word Copacabana seemed to follow me around in South America from the shores of Lake Titicaca in Bolivia to Rio de Janeiro. And then there was the Hostel Copacabana in the dusty border town of La Quiaca. I crossed the border and decided to walk to the hostel. It was a bit further than …

I thought I’d do a quick review of the three hotels I stayed at whilst on the Galapagos Islands. If you’re going there independently there are plenty of accommodation options but you should be warmed that they are pretty pricey all said. There may be the possibility of dorms. I’ll review here by island in …
Well. The name says it all, doesn’t it? Sucre is a delightful city in South-Central Bolivia which is definitely worth a short stop if you’re there. It can be reached in a couple of hours from Potosi by share taxi which was great as at the time I was well and truly sick of the …

Puno seemed like an interesting little place, between Machu Picchu and the Bolivian border. It was just a one night stop over for me on my journey across South America. So, I wanted a cheap bed for the night. I arrived after dark and left early in the morning, so it didn’t need to be …
