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 …
Pondering Paris
Well, I'm writing this on the train from Paris to Noramandy. Another whirlwind three and a half days have come to an end here in Paris. I was happy to go to Paris because I don't have any decent photos of the place. I've passed through a couple of times in 2006 and 2011 but …
Losing it in the Louvre
And for my first post from La France... yeah I'm going to have a whine.

Thoughts on the Silver Mine Tour in Potosi
Potosi, Bolivia, a pleasant enough town in the centre, but the chief reason for tourists to go is to take a tour in the silver mines in the hills that surround this town. And that’s why I stopped there. Why did I want to visit a silver mine? Well, to be honest, it was something …
The Classic Escape Holidays Scam
Ahhhh Cairns was great, but I have to tell you about Classic Escape Holidays just in case you get approached by these guys. No, I wasn’t scammed and to be honest, it’s technically not a scam, however it certainly left us feeling like it was. What exactly am I talking about? Classic Escape Holidays are …

Re-Blog Saturday – Arriving in Georgia
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 …
