Andy's Journeys to 71 countries & counting!
Well, following my series of panorama shots from South America I now have another well to dip into of shots from my latest trip. Starting with Beijing and the Great Wall of China. I was surprised to find that I didn’t take nearly as many as I thought I might have. Still, how many photos can one put in a

There’s no doubt the Mona Lisa is the most famous painting in the world. It’s the most popular thing to see at the Louvre, the most popular museum in Paris, the most popular city (for tourism) in the world. So. It’s pretty popular. It’s almost like this is what tourism now is – a fight. For what? For the photo.

When I went to China at the beginning of May this year, more specifically to Beijing, it was about 95% to catch the first leg of the Trans-Mongolian train journey. However, as I was going there, I decided that I wanted to get to two of China’s great historical landmarks, the Forbidden City and the Great Wall of China. In

Hi folks. I’m on my way to the airport in Tokyo, about to fly home and conclude a six week trip that began shortly before midnight on the last day of April. It’s been another incredible six weeks but tomorrow I arrive home in the morning, with a short shift at work in the afternoon. What have I been up

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 there is not long to

Well, I’m writing this on the train from Paris to Noramandy. Another whirlwind three and a half days have come to an end here in Paris. I was happy to go to Paris because I don’t have any decent photos of the place. I’ve passed through a couple of times in 2006 and 2011 but this was the first time

So, Paris. Paris Paris Paris, I was there. I saw stuff. I left. The first day I arrived by Eurostar. That experience alone was enough to drive me to drink I have to say. At St Pancras Station in London the organisation of the line into bag check and customs was non-existant. It sort of meandered around the hall, then

And for my first post from La France… yeah I’m going to have a whine. And it’s all very hypcritical of me really because basically I am bemoaning tourism in 2017 despite clearly being a tourist myself. But I have to be honest, the experience of visiting the Louvre Museum in Paris, probably the most famous museum in the entire

Somehow I am suddenly in the United Kingdom! Strange how you suddenly find yourself in a different country. Well not really but it’s always a bizarre feeling. Just as I was getting used to Russia. I’m AirBnB-ing it in London, but today I’ve taken a trip north to Cambridge, which is an incredibly beautiful town on the river Cam filled

I need to preface the title really by saying it’s the last train journey in Russia and of the trans-Mongolian adventure. I will be taking more trains before I head home to Australia. It is just over 1800 km from Ekanterinburg to Moscow, just the one night in the train leaving at 7.17 am local time and due in at
