Ecuador has recently got a number of trains up and running, and polished up the service on some of the others like the ‘Nariz del Diablo’ – The Nose of the Devil. This is a good thing. Probably. Well I prefer train journeys that are proper journeys instead of a short tourist ride to be …
There are a few ways to get from Cusco to Machu Picchu. If you’ve a mind to it, many like to brave the trek over the mountains, the Inca Trail – there are several versions of it. There is apparently some back way in via road but you have to go a long way out …
Happy Friday to everyone out there. I recently compiled a very short (3.5 minutes) video of Machu Picchu. I was sure I had taken more video footage whilst I was there, yet it seems I took far more of the train journey there (which will feature on a 'Train Journeys' post coming soon!) than at …
Riobamba is around four hours by bus from the Ecuadorian capital Quito. The drive is quite impressive at times with the mountains and so on, and Riobamba itself seemed like a nice small city, with a bit of a University vibe. I was there to catch a bus to the Nariz Del Diablo, the Devil’s …

South America has some amazing historical buildings. Yes – many are colonial and perhaps a remnant of a darker past, but others are newer and many just blow your socks off. One such building is the Palacio Paz in Buenos Aires. And if you are looking to have your mind blown by a combination of …
Howdy All Back with another video I compiled in the last week or so showing sea lions on Isla San Cristobel, Galapagos. This is the first real run my action camera got - although the land stuff is mostly shot on my Nikon 3300. If you're interested in what I used of course. I shot …

Howdy all. Today I’m sharing a few of my panorama shots from Galapagos. I must admit it – I love a good panorama when I’m travelling and I’m always looking for possible shots that would look good as a long, thin photo. Anyways, today I’m showing you four from Galapagos. I must have started slowly …
Potosi, Bolivia, a pleasant enough town in the centre, but the chief reason for tourists to go is to take a tour in the silver mines in the hills that surround this town. And that’s why I stopped there. Why did I want to visit a silver mine? Well, to be honest, it was something …
Howdy all, and Happy New Year! Yes, it’s been a whirlwind and incredibly busy time (just like all the time it seems to be honest) since I set foot back in Australia in early December. I managed one post since then and that was already written pretty much. I’ve been working as much as possible …
