Little Places – Scarisoara Ice Cave, Apuseni Mountains, Romania
Last Sunday I featured a post on Romania. I very briefly touched on an ‘ice cave’ that I had visited, but to be honest with my diaries long gone, I needed to do a bit of research to even find the name of the said cave. Well, now I have found it! The Scarisoara Ice …

Yangshuo, China, on a Bike!
Southern China is filled with many splendours, not least of which is Yangshuo and the area around it which is green, lush, with amazing mountains like Rio – seemingly out of solid rock, and the gorgeous Li River, so beautiful people get their wedding photos taken by it and they put it on the 20 …
Uber – My First Real Experiences – a Reflection
These days we live our life on Apps. I think. Don’t we? I mean presumably not everyone, but quite a few. Uber has been around for quite a few years now. But I haven’t really used it, twice I think it was only, before my latest getaway to the Gold Coast. Then it was a …

Tropical Reef Snorkelling at Sea World
G’day all – today I am reviewing my experience snorkelling at Sea World that I had back mid-April, and including video of what I shot there in the man made “lagoon” that they have. It’s called the ‘Tropical Reef Snorkel’, and it is open to ages 8 years old and over. An Experience to Recommend …
1001 Posts – The Past and the Future
Hi all! Yes, this is the 1001st post on my blog! That’s since it moved over to WordPress which was in 2013. It’s… well it’s a ridiculously high number. I meant to have a bit of a celebratory post for the 1000th but Word Press had me fooled into thinking THIS would be the 1000th …
Pakistan – Preconceptions Versus Reality
Howdy all. Today I thought I would do a thoughtful type of post, and reflect on my time in Pakistan some 15 years ago. 2004 was a hell of a trip, it was my plan to go from Bangladesh to Europe (and then onto West Africa, which didn’t end up happening that trip). It was …
Travelling with Music – Then and Now
When doing long-term travel, or indeed any travel that involves long journeys by bus, plane or train (or anything in-between!) there’s one thing that can help pass the time. And that’s meeting others. Oh wait no, that’s not it. Watching movies. No no…. okay apart from those two things, there’s only one OTHER way of …
Childhood Memories, Roller Coasters & Melbourne’s Luna Park
A new day, a new week. I’m going to try and publish an Australia-based post each week. And today I am taking you to a place from my childhood – Melbourne’s Luna Park. It’s an amusement park in the area of St Kilda, almost on the beach in one of the most popular parts of …

Photos from the ‘Other’ Bali – Cameroon
Howdy all, hope this post finds you well. One of the highlights of my time a few years back now in Cameroon was a visit to the village of ‘Bali’. For Australians, ‘Bali’ generally will only ever mean the Indonesian island where we flock in droves. (not me, not yet!) In fact, I would presume …
