Yes, another Sunday, another ‘Spotlight’, and today we’re heading to Georgia and its second (or maybe third) city of Batumi. It sits on the eastern edge of the Black Sea, and has a population of 155,000 or so (so not particularly big). However, it is pretty much Georgia’s second city, and it is by far …
Hey all to my second ‘Tasting’ segment on the blog. Today I want to talk about a dish, rather than a restaurant, which I had the pleasure of eating when I was in Iran. A good chance to point out that the plan is not for every week to be a restaurant review! I recall …
Folks, the sequel to last week’s Travel Memories Cambodia Part One is here! I carefully and thoughtfully named it ‘Travel Memories – Part Two’ because you know, I’m very creative 🙂 Sooo last week I had recounted the journey from Bangkok through Poipet and Battambang to Siem Repp and the Temples of Angkor. This week …
Hi all! Cambodia has been in my thoughts lately since I outlined my travel itinerary from 2000 when I visited the country. It was a significant country on my travelling journeys, after 14 months at home following my first backpacking adventure in 1999, I could scarcely believe I was off again November 2000 for another …
So you may have noticed I’ve started 2019 off by posting on Cambodia a bit. My second ever backpacking adventure was a two month affair encompassing Cambodia, Thailand, the UK and then India on the way home, and I recently realised I’ve never scanned the pictures in from that adventure, so now seemed to be …
Hi all. 'Little Places' today is taking me back to the year 2000. It was November-December and I was on my second ever solo backpacking trip, and first stop was South East Asia. Cambodia was the country to be explored, and I had met up with three random travellers who had connected on the Lonely …
Hi folks. Last year I got back from Sri Lanka and India and popped my clothes in the wash. I patted my trousers, I was SURE there was nothing inside. There was. My passport! A new one is now on its way. What makes it all the more embarrassing is this. It's not the first …
Hello there! Well, this Sunday I am nominating my best eats for 2018. Now, whatever I may be, it’s fair to say I’m not really a ‘foodie’ – and I don’t really review restaurants as a matter of course. But continuing on the theme of ‘top…. Of 2018’ I’ve decided to focus, however briefly, on …
Hi all. Last month when I was at Noosa I took a walk down to Tea Tree Bay. Who should I see there? This little fella. Well, I'm only guessing he was a fella. I identified the bird later as the Australian Bush Turkey. I'm not sure if you would eat this turkey, but he …
Some times you need a holiday. A vacation. And not an adventure, not one that involves going to places you’ve never been before, organising visas, staying in… unique accommodation. Sometimes you just need a break, and that’s what heading to Noosa was all about for me this year. I’d been back over six months since …
