One of the most amazing cities in Iran, Yazd features mud-brick buildings aplenty and is a wonderful place to explore.

Value Destinations – Uzbekistan
Hi everyone! In the new year I am searching for some new ideas for posts, and this is one I’ve come up with ‘Value Destinations’ – that’s places that I reckon represent a decent bang for your buck. Some places can be quite frustrating because money disappears at a rate if knots, your accommodation is …
Preparing for the Trip – Gear
Hello folks and the happiest of New Year’s to you once again. As 2015 slowly whirrs into gear and I look with horror at all the shifts I am to do this week, once we clicked over to 2015 I suddenly realised that I am going travelling again! Yes, six weeks away! I have been …
Foto Friday – Festival Time in Japan
First things first - Happy New Year! I am six weeks away from jetting off to Thailand and Myanmar so pretty excited about that! Hope that wherever you are you had a great New Year. Here in Melbourne we're getting some serious heat, it's about 38 degrees right now and we're heading for 41 …
Sunday Spotlight – Luxembourg
So. If you’re in Europe and want to go somewhere that doesn’t quite see the tourists that the big cities of Paris, Rome, Prague etc see, let me suggest one to you – Luxembourg. One of the smaller countries in Europe, Luxembourg and its main city, Luxembourg, are both charming spots to visit and although …
Juxtaposing Christmases
I thought I’d take a few moments to do a Christmas post. Merry Christmas and all the trimmings wherever you are and whatever you’re doing this year. Well, unless you don’t celebrate Christmas. Then I am just sending you warm fuzzy happy feelings at this time of the year. My interestingly-titled (hopefully) post is about …
Trip of a Life Time – Ireland
If you thought I took too few pictures when I was in the London and UK, then you’ll be even more dismayed at my time in Ireland. Two lousy photos is all I took! And a third was taken for me at the Guinness Factory that I didn’t make it too because I was hung …
Sunday Spotlight – Hiroshima
Let me tell you, a city known for the world’s first atomic bomb being dropped on it, is 60 years later a wonderful place to visit in Japan. I really can’t recommend Hiroshima enough, it’s simply brilliant. If you travel to Japan and don’t get there, you’ve really missed out on a city that has …
Foto Friday – Broken Heart in Kyrgyzstan
Here's one of my favourite travel pics. In the background is Jeti-Oguz, or the 'Broken Heart', a large reddish rock that split in two and looks like a, well, broken heart. I was taking photos of it and this local family asked to be in the photo. Slightly odd, yes, but with such a hat, …
Foto Friday – Golden Gate Bridge
Yes, here's a shot to prove I've actually been to the US of A. And to be true, I loved San Francisco! I must admit I've taken better photos in my life, but I love the way the ferry is blurred and appears to be going at speeds it couldn't actually achieve! Hope you're having …
