Madaba and Mount Nebo – Through My Lens [Jordan]

I swore I would never compile the list of countries I visited. But, here it is.

Thoughts… On the USA!

On 4 Jul 202117 May 2021 By Andy RoamsIn travel14 Comments

Howdy all. Yep, Andrew is getting all thoughtful for today’s blog. What country am I discussing today? It’s the good ol’ US of A. Why? Well, today is the 4th of July, Independence Day, the day when Will Smith and Bill Pullman save the world! And that Labrador jumps from an exploding tunnel for the …

Bald and Bankrupt looks for Soviet Mosaics in Ukraine!

On 3 Jul 20213 Mar 2021 By Andy RoamsIn travel, Youtube Travel2 Comments

Howdy all hope today's post finds you well! Mr Bald of Bald and Bankrupt is, or at least was in February, in the Ukraine. Why he we go there in Winter is anyone's guess, but this is a great video where he hunts down old Soviet mosaics across Ukraine stopping at a couple of provincial …

Bridge of the Day – Kandovan, Iran

On 2 Jul 20211 Jul 2021 By Andy RoamsIn bridges, travel4 Comments

You have to love this kind of bridge, as it spans the flowing river, it almost seems to pop out of nowhere and is quite high. I imagine though that at the right time of year there could be issues with it washing away when the snow all melts! Thanks for popping by today! Take …

Melbourne Revealed – The Great Moomba Disappointment of 2021!

On 2 Jul 20218 Apr 2021 By Andy RoamsIn Melbourne, travel, VlogLeave a comment

So, I thought I'd pop along to Moomba earlier this year. Sure, there would be no parade and no Birdman Rally, but there was to be different things popping up at different spots in the city! Unfortunately, it wasn't quite as active as I hoped. Also, rain. And a protest! And an audio glitch! But still, the show must go on!

Secrets of Eurovision

On 1 Jul 202130 Jun 2021 By Andy RoamsIn music, travel6 Comments

Hi all! Today it's Eurovision THURSDAY, and I want to take you behind the scenes a little. Two great songs today, which I have shown you before but today I want to show you how they were done. Sergey Lazarev in 2016 (Russia) presented the audience - on TV at least - with one of …

City Rumble – Cairo Versus HCMC

Final match up from Round Three - what city will make it through to the quarter finals of City Rumble? Cairo or Ho Chi Minh City!

A great spot in front of the ocean at Rickett's Point for a meal!

Aqaba – Through My Lens

On 29 Jun 202121 Feb 2021 By Andy RoamsIn Middle East, travel photography1 Comment

Folks, I hope you've enjoyed our Tuesdays through June, as I presented photos from my time in destination Jordan. It's a brilliant and relatively easy place to travel, and I can't recommend it enough as a somewhat gentle introduction to the Middle East which really packs a punch in terms of things to see and …
