All Aboard The Lunatic Express!

On 13 Mar 202114 Dec 2020 By Andy RoamsIn Train travel, travelLeave a comment

Folks - I found another video I want to share. It's Noel Philips this time, but he's not boarding a flight, he's taking a train. A newish train from Mombasa to Nairobi in Kenya. There was an old line that I think ran all the way to Uganda once, although I don't think it has …

First Taste Japan – Takayama

On 12 Mar 202116 Dec 2020 By Andy RoamsIn travel, Vlog4 Comments

This time I'm bringing you the Japanese town of Takayama, up in the hills in Honshu. Come and see through my somewhat grainy footage from 2011 what this place is like with its floats, retro museum and huge temple on the top of a hill to a new religion I know nothing about!

A Beautiful Island – Shared with Rats!

On 6 Mar 202113 Dec 2020 By Andy RoamsIn travel, Youtube TravelLeave a comment

Hi all. I have an Eva Zu Beck video for you. In this one she heads from the Yemeni Isle of Socotra to a smaller island with some other travellers. The island is truly beautiful, and most of the video shows that off rather than focusing on the rats. This is a common tactic though …
