I’m headed back to Sri Lanka in March, so time for a little, gentle reminiscing about my first town in the country. I didn’t fly in I should point out, I flew into the Negombo Airport which services Colombo, however the guesthouse I was staying organised a taxi for my wife and I all the …
Hi all! The final 'Through My Lens' for the year, and I'm taking you to Argentina where stunning Bariloche (or as the town is known, San Carlos de Bariloche) just cannot be beaten, especially when the weather is as it was when I was there. High 20s for the most part and beautiful blue skies. …
Wham bam thankyou Mam! Tokyo is a city with everything. It’s an incredible combination of skyscrapers, neon lights, parks and shrines, salary men and cosplayers in the Harajuku area. It has Maid Cafes, a Robot Restaurant (still to visit for me!), two Disney theme parks, a tower, a Skytree, and incredible metro system, brilliant museums, …
You might say that Arequipa is the perfect subject for ‘Sunday Spotlight’. It’s a pretty little town, not a big city, and it’s not the most well-known destination in South America, but it’s a rewarding place to stop. I thought it was a very worthwhile stop in Peru, much more pleasant than Lima, and although …
The Slovenian capital is a rare gem. Not far from the Mediterranean, part of the old Yugoslavia, vibrant, full of energy and music, green and not nearly as well visited as many cities in Europe, it’s really the perfect city to visit to get away from the tourist trail in Europe and yet still be …
Howdy all. I type this blog post today as I take the bus to Charles de Gaulle from Rouen. Very lucky to have a bus that doesn't stop in Paris. We will overnight at the Ibis at the airport before we fly off tomorrow for six days in Japan before returning home to Melbourne. So …
I know what you’re thinking. Andrew is doing this city rumble simply because the names are so similar. And you’re pretty much right! It was 2004 that I set out to cross by land (as much as was reasonable) from Dhaka, in Bangladesh, to Dakar, in Senegal. It was a journey I sort of changed …
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 …
Yes the rumble is BACK! It’s been an awfully long time since I did a city rumble, so it seems a good moment to unleash it again. I should do a few more of these this time around, but I thought it would be a good time to compare two of the BIG cities of …

Ecuador has recently got a number of trains up and running, and polished up the service on some of the others like the ‘Nariz del Diablo’ – The Nose of the Devil. This is a good thing. Probably. Well I prefer train journeys that are proper journeys instead of a short tourist ride to be …
