Yes, a twist on Sunday Sunsets! 2004, the Ganges river, in a boat, India. Possibly there was no more special place I could be at that exact point in time... Thanks for dropping by, May the Journey Never End!
And now it’s… The 2017 Adventure!
Yes, sorry I meant to post about this year’s planned adventure. But time got away from me and then I had to be sure of getting the time off work, so I held back. Finally, though, I can let readers know that on the first of May, just over a week away now, I’m heading …
Accommodation Review – Green House Hostel, Bariloche
Doing another review this week as I’m trying to get them all done before I leave. Bariloche is a gorgeous spot in Northern Patagonia, with unsealed roads and a Bavarian feel. I stayed in the Green House Hostel, in a single room with shared bathroom. It was a great choice, there was a lot to …

On the Buses – Argentina
Alonsi! As we take again to the roads and this time, it’s Argentina to which we go! I took three long distance buses in Argentina, two of them were night (yay!) buses. Bus travel in Argentina can be reasonably comfortable, although I still place Peruvian buses as the best I experienced in South America. Argentina …
Accommodation Review – Hotel Avenida, Uyuni, Bolivia
If you’re coming to Uyuni to hook up with a tour to the salt flats, there’s a good chance you’ll need to stay a night or two in the town of Uyuni. I stayed the night before the tour and the night after the tour, and I ended up staying at Hotel Avenida, although originally …

City Rumble – Dakar versus Dhaka
I know what you’re thinking. Andrew is doing this city rumble simply because the names are so similar. And you’re pretty much right! It was 2004 that I set out to cross by land (as much as was reasonable) from Dhaka, in Bangladesh, to Dakar, in Senegal. It was a journey I sort of changed …
Sunday Sunsets – La Quiaca, Argentina
Hi folks! This week's Sunday Sunset comes from the town on the border of Argentina and Bolivia. Not bad thought I at the time! Dust probably the reason... Thanks for stopping by, May the Journey Never End!16
Review – Intrepid Tour to Galapagos – Days Six to Nine
Previous posts – Pretrip, Days One and Two Days Three, Four and Five So it’s time to wrap up the final stage of the tour. The final three days, plus what they classed as ‘Day Nine’, but really shouldn’t have been counted as part of the tour. As I said before. But anyways, when last …

On the Buses – Bolivia
Howdy all. Back again looking at how it was crossing South America by bus. Last week I looked at Peru and Ecuador, today I continue southward through Bolivia. I expected to write about Bolivia and Argentina together but it turned out there was quite a bit to write about Bolivia on its own, so Argentina …
Accommodation Review – Galapagos
I thought I’d do a quick review of the three hotels I stayed at whilst on the Galapagos Islands. If you’re going there independently there are plenty of accommodation options but you should be warmed that they are pretty pricey all said. There may be the possibility of dorms. I’ll review here by island in …
