I’ve been to Beijing twice now. The first time I went there, I was just 11 years old, and it had just opened up to tourism. I don’t remember a hellova lot from my trip to Europe and China in 1986, but actually I do have a few memories of visiting Beijing, which was a …
If there are three main images of landmarks that foreigners associate with Australia, I’m guessing they are Uluru, the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the incredible building that sits opposite it over the harbour just a tad, 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!
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 …

Friendly, less expensive than most of Western Europe, also a great break from the hottest of the Summer weather, all three countries have something special to offer the visitor.

So, last weekend, I took a journey to Sydney. A very short one mind you – it was just one night. I parked at Melbourne Airport, which I’ve never done before, and took a morning flight. With a train into the centre of town, it was easy as getting into Australia’s Harbour City, and I …
This year I had the opportunity to take Sri Lankan airlines for the first and second times. I flew from Delhi to Colombo and from Colombo to Melbourne. Sri Lankan Airlines is a full service airline based in the Sri Lankan capital of Colombo. And if you want a direct service to or from Australia, …
