New Zealand – A Few Highlights (Travel Video)
Hi all Today I present a video I compiled of a trip I took to New Zealand back in 2015. The unedited videos have been sitting on my hard drive since then, I can't believe it took this long to put them together. Well, to be honest they had been completely forgotten about! You'll see …

As promised, following my visit to Melbourne’s Eureka Tower, today I present a ‘Tower Rumble’ looking at towers I have gone up myself and seeing which provided the best experience. There is nothing like going up a tower when you’re in a city – especially if it’s a new city, to see the layout of …

Seven on Sunday – High Towers of the World
Today’s post has come about because on my recent trip I went to two high towers to see the views in Sydney and Auckland. It’s always a fun thing to do when you arrive in a city, to find a high tower often purpose built for the views (along with communication reasons too), so here …
