Study Tour of Bangladesh Part Two – Bhola Island
So, we had one full day in Dhaka, and the next day it was time to take the ferry south to Bhola Island. We got up to a few things on that day – more on those on the Dhaka post coming in a couple of weeks. But it was to Bhola we headed on …

So, I Took an Intrepid Tour – to Galapagos
Last year at the start of October I began my South American Adventure with a visit to Galapagos. I wasn’t really sure how I was going to do it, I wasn’t sure what the best way to visit it was to be honest. It seemed to me that I really needed to consider taking a …
Accommodation Review – Cusco
I normally keep my accommodation reviews to just the one hotel but today I thought I’d throw two into the mixing pot as I stayed in two separate places in Cusco. When I first arrived in Cusco I stayed at the Viva Cusco Saphi. I stayed one night there and came back after two nights …
PanAmerica Panorama – Rio De Janeiro
See, I can't stop the loving on Rio De Janeiro. Hope you are well wherever you are in the world. These pics are the only panoramas I took in my 3 days in Rio. Hope they brighten someone's Sunday! Notice if you will the photo of the Metropolitan Cathedral interior - an up-down panorama. 🙂 …
Study Tour to Bangladesh – Part One

My university offered a subject where the students actually went to Bangladesh for a three week study tour to study International Development in Bangladesh. Don’t panic Australian taxpayers – we had to fork the money out ourselves! And it turned out to be an …
Train Journeys – Nariz Del Diablo, Ecuador
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 …
Accommodation Review – Gringo Bill’s, Machu Picchu Town
Despite the rather strange name, I was rather looking forward to staying at Gringo Bill’s in Aguas Calientes, also known as Pueblo Machu Picchu (Machu Picchu Town). I imagined to be something of a tourist institution I guess, run by a crazy old American dude called Bill with a constantly packed bar of drunk foreigners …

Andy’s Travels – Then and Now
Travel. Backpacking. Both have changed an incredible amount in the last two decades. My first solo trip was 18 years ago now. Early February 1999 and I headed out on my first round the world adventure stopping in Thailand as my first stop. Khao San Road was far more basic compared to today. No fast …
Train Journeys – Cusco to Machu Picchu
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 …
