So. Another Friday - another picture of a much younger, thinner, energetic me. Here I am about to take a lift in this here fire engine in Amritsar to the Golden Temple. I was walking to the temple with a friend and we passed a couple of guys preparing the engine - it was going …
There are dozens upon dozens of epic rail journeys in India. I brought you the one from Mumbai to Goa a while ago now. That one, however, I did in 2AC class, just about the best class you can take on Indian Railways. For this overnight journey on the rails, however, I stuck to my …
Hi folks. Let's go back to November the 2nd 2011 as I relive some more experiences in Georgia. I took a few days to head to the capital Tbilisi, meet up with some friends and see the sights. And this is what it is was like... Dear avid followers and those who just happened to …
Less than an hour from Melbourne (in good traffic) and reachable by metro train from the city, Puffing Billy is the train highlight of Melbourne. If you love trains, you love steam, or even if you fancy a day out in one of the most beautiful parts of the state of Victoria, then Puffing Billy …
Perhaps the one thing I really don’t look forward to when I travel is taking the bus. And when that’s an overnight journey, well, it’s a recipe for no sleep, a crick in my neck and an extended period of being uncomfortable. South America beckons later on this year, and there will definitely be a …

I haven't written THAT much about my time in Georgia since I moved over to Word Press. I thought for a few Saturdays I would go back to my time in Georgia and remember the first experiences there. So, here it is, my first post about Georgia. It was at the time entitled 'The Next …
Hi folks! Hope this photo finds you well. For a little while I've decided to specifically put up photos of myself on Friday. I was once told that the only problem with my travel photos was that they didn't include me! I always rationalised that by saying that I know what I look like, and …
Warning! Your heart is about to melt when you see these faces! Mali is a dry dry country in West Africa. I visited quite a few years ago now - seems hardly possible it was so long ago - and visited the Dogon country, Mopti, Segou, Djenne, and the capital Bamako. So here is a …
