A little video as I explore the enticing Estonia!
Bridge of the Day – Stari Most, Mostar, Bosnia-Herzegovina
Here is a famous bridge for you, Stari Most which means 'Old Bridge' (not very imaginative, I know), from the town of Mostar. Mostar is named after the word 'Mostari' which means 'bridge keeper'. So how about that. And this below is the reconstructed Old Bridge of Mostar, from which it could be argued came …

What Kind of Travel do I do?
Last week I wrote a post about how the most important and enjoyable part of travel for me is the ‘journey’ part, the ‘getting there’. There are so many aspects to travel, and what is en vogue these days is ‘slow travel’. That’s basically taking your time and staying long term in places. A month …
Rare Gems – Slovakia
Europe has so many beautiful countries, in different ways, with different people, cultures and languages. And some are well known, and some are less well known. In 2017 5.4 million people visited Slovakia, a record number up to that point. In contrast, it’s neighbour and ex-partner in the country formerly known as Czechoslovakia, received over …
Snorkelling on the Gold Coast
Hi all. Today I had two snorkelling experiences. It's been something I've wanted to do more of since I first tried it. The water here on the Gold Coast is around 25 degrees at the moment which is perfect for snorkelling. I went out on a boat early this morning to Wave Break Island, and …

Sunday Spotlight – Batumi, Georgia
Yes, another Sunday, another ‘Spotlight’, and today we’re heading to Georgia and its second (or maybe third) city of Batumi. It sits on the eastern edge of the Black Sea, and has a population of 155,000 or so (so not particularly big). However, it is pretty much Georgia’s second city, and it is by far …
Travel Memories – Cambodia (Part One)
Hi all! Cambodia has been in my thoughts lately since I outlined my travel itinerary from 2000 when I visited the country. It was a significant country on my travelling journeys, after 14 months at home following my first backpacking adventure in 1999, I could scarcely believe I was off again November 2000 for another …
Mumbai Memories
So you may have noticed I’ve started 2019 off by posting on Cambodia a bit. My second ever backpacking adventure was a two month affair encompassing Cambodia, Thailand, the UK and then India on the way home, and I recently realised I’ve never scanned the pictures in from that adventure, so now seemed to be …
