Itineraries – USA Part One – The East
Hello folks, here I am on a Thursday with another itinerary for you. This is my 2004 itinerary for the USA. Now, I also visited the US in 1999, and interestingly enough I returned to all the places I did in that trip in 2004, obviously plus a few others. This one is going to …
A Georgian Wedding
When travelling there are lots of different events you might like to attend from festivals to Eurovision. No seriously, it’s awesome and why wouldn’t you? But I think there’s something incredibly special about attending a wedding when travelling. I’ve attended at least three (off the top of my head) when travelling, two in Germany for …
Travel Video – Burkina Faso
Monday's travel video this week is, in keeping with my Saturday post, from Burkina Faso 2007. I return to the scene of the 2006 with a mate and a happier attitude. The video is twelve minutes long and it features Ouagadougou (the capital) and Ouhigouya, on the way to the border with Mali. There's a …
Sunday Spotlight – Yokohama
Welcome to Yokohama, Japan’s ‘Bay City’, a place with a hellovalot going on to keep you entertained and interested for days. Yes, the spotlight is shining Japan way and Yokohama is in the centre!

The West African Return!

Foto Friday – Gate at Hakone, Japan
Japan is full of big, beautiful red gates just like this one near the lake at Hakone.
Quirky museums
Today’s post I’m looking at a few museums I’ve visited (and one that I haven’t) that were a little bit different for one reason or another. The world is full of museums, and it’s not very hard to tire of them after seeing a few. Well, here are some that might keep your interest as …
Off to New Zealand!
High everyone! Well, I am taking just over a week’s break in November, and the exciting news is that I will be headed to my 71st country, New Zealand. Yes, you’d think that an Aussie would get to New Zealand before they were 40, especially a traveller, but somehow it just never happened. I did …
Travel Video – West Africa (2006)
Howdy folks as another week kicks off. With my series of Saturday posts on West Africa, I thought now would be a good time to show you my short (5 and a half minutes) video I compiled of my time in West Africa. It's a combination of photos and short films I shot with the …
