Mystical Mandore Gardens
Around 9 kilometres from the incredible Rajasthani city of Jodhpur, is the town of Mandore. I hadn’t heard of this town before heading to India this year, and I probably would have missed it all together if I hadn’t felt like doing something on what I had sort of planned as a ‘rest day’ whilst …
Dubai, or not Dubai? The Stopover Question!
When travelling from Australia or eastern Asia to Europe, there are number of possible airlines and routes to get you there, and one of the most popular, usually flying Emirates, is to go via Dubai.

Train Journeys – Galle to Colombo
The final rail journey of my March-April trip was from the glorious southern town of Galle back to the capital of Colombo. A distance of around 114 kilometres, there are several trains you can take a day from express trains to local commuter trains. So obviously the trains can vary muchly in time taken, from …

A Tour of the Sydney Opera House

I visited at some point as a kid, I don’t really remember when exactly, but …

Hi all on this gloomy (well. in Melbourne at least) Tuesday! To brighten my day I thought I'd compile my panoramas from Sri Lanka in a post for you! I hope you enjoy! Thanks for stopping by - May the Journey Never End!
Egyptian Discovery
I’m pretty sure somewhere in this blog I have talked about my experiences in Egypt way back in 1999 – that’s last century you know J - and one specific memory of sitting down beneath two giant statues known as the Colossi of Memnon, on a Valley of the Kings tour near Luxor, to change …
