Landing in Lisbon

On 4 Dec 2019 By Andy RoamsIn blogging, Europe, travel4 Comments

Yes, I’m back at it again, this time from Portugal. The last proper stop of this journey (bar a few hours in Singapore on the way home) has me visiting Lisbon and Porto. We touched down yesterday morning, thanks to a time difference between Spain and Portugal slightly before I left Seville. The approach over …

Hey, this is pretty cool y’all. Sorry, I will never use that expression again, I feel bad now… So anyways! What the heck am I talking about?

Hi all, you now find me in Spain! Yes, I’ve travelled somewhat southwards from Belarus on what was a bit of a bumpy flight from Minsk to Barcelona, the capital of Catalonia. It was another early morning, but at least this time I flew in direct. I had to go to the tourist information desk …

A Long Journey from Israel to Minsk!

On 21 Nov 201921 Nov 2019 By Andy RoamsIn backpacking, travel, travel stories1 Comment

Well. Yesterday was another hard slog but here I am in the Belarusian capital of Minsk. Just a short stay if you really two days not including yesterday. But the journey began at around 220am yesterday in Jerusalem. Yes another stupidly early start! I was told my Nesher service taxi usually comes early - it …

The Battle of Jerusalem’s Old City

On 19 Nov 201919 Nov 2019 By Andy RoamsIn backpacking, Middle East, travel3 Comments

Howdy all. You join me in the Israeli capital of Jerusalem still fighting a cold but with three days of site seeing behind me. Today I went to the brilliant Israel Museum and spent the best part of the day there, but today's post is about the previous two days and travails and tribulations in …

Two More Days in Turkmenistan

On 14 Nov 201914 Nov 2019 By Andy RoamsIn Central Asia, travel12 Comments

My final post from the enigma of a country that is Turkmenistan. It’s hard to summarise my experiences and feelings right now, and so I will leave that for when I am home in Australia. But this post I will wrap my final two days in Turkmenistan.
