Well. The name says it all, doesn’t it? Sucre is a delightful city in South-Central Bolivia which is definitely worth a short stop if you’re there. It can be reached in a couple of hours from Potosi by share taxi which was great as at the time I was well and truly sick of the …

It HAD to come eventually, you know it did! The rumble to end all rumbles. As far as Aussies are concerned I guess. Well. Those who don’t live in Brisbane I guess. And maybe Adelaide and Perth. Anyhoo… Sydney and Melbourne both have quite a bit to offer the visitor. They are loads of little …
So here it is, a step by step record for anyone who might be interested of my ‘Nine Day’ Intrepid Tour to the Galapagos Islands of Ecuador. I’ve written about this tour before but I really wanted to get down to some details in not quite ‘diary’ style but I wanted to cover it well. …

I guess it was only natural that eventually I would pit these two Eastern European cities against each other in a ‘City Rumble’, and so today is the day! The capital of Hungary against the capital of Romania. Two cities with similar sounding names (just ask Michael Jackson who called Bucharest Budapest to his fans …
In 2015 I went to the Sydney Aquarium, which wasn’t too bad all said, but earlier this year I had the chance to visit the Melbourne Aquarium and compare the two. I’ve got to say I think Melbourne has Sydney covered in this regard. The Melbourne Aquarium is pretty well located in Melbourne. There’s a …

This amazing island can be found in the middle of Lake Titicaca in Bolivia. I had a good hike there in the blazing sun back on the very first day of November last year. The boats leave from the small town on the shore of the lake, not too far from the Peruvian border, Copacabana. …
I normally keep my accommodation reviews to just the one hotel but today I thought I’d throw two into the mixing pot as I stayed in two separate places in Cusco. When I first arrived in Cusco I stayed at the Viva Cusco Saphi. I stayed one night there and came back after two nights …
See, I can't stop the loving on Rio De Janeiro. Hope you are well wherever you are in the world. These pics are the only panoramas I took in my 3 days in Rio. Hope they brighten someone's Sunday! Notice if you will the photo of the Metropolitan Cathedral interior - an up-down panorama. 🙂 …
Travel. Backpacking. Both have changed an incredible amount in the last two decades. My first solo trip was 18 years ago now. Early February 1999 and I headed out on my first round the world adventure stopping in Thailand as my first stop. Khao San Road was far more basic compared to today. No fast …
