The Ibis is a bit of an institution in a way I guess for me. I first stayed in one in 2006 at Charles de Gaulle Airport. I’m going back there in June. They are reasonably reliable, if simple, comfortable places to stay. Not expensive generally depending on where you are, but also quite plastic …

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 …

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. 🙂 …
Hope you are enjoying a wonderfully relaxing day this Sunday. I can’t confess to being a massive fan of “street art” if you will. In fact I don’t necessarily notice it. In South America the one place I DID notice it was Rio De Janeiro. The majority of these photos were taken in the Lapa …
When heading off to South America, I have to be honest, I was a little on edge in regards to safety. It’s been a while since I worried about safety in a destination, but South America does, in all fairness, have a reputation I guess for not being the safest part of the world to …
Umm okay. No that title does not sit right with me. Not really how I talks. But I do have to tell you, one place that really didn’t fail to live up to image and reputation for me, in South America, was Rio De Janeiro. And I’m talking as Andrew, self-confessed nerd who doesn’t head …
Howdy all, and Happy New Year! Yes, it’s been a whirlwind and incredibly busy time (just like all the time it seems to be honest) since I set foot back in Australia in early December. I managed one post since then and that was already written pretty much. I’ve been working as much as possible …
Howdy all... here I am, home safe and sound with a cold but I'll be over it sooner or later. I wrote the final post of my trip in a couple of stages, firstly in Rio before I left, and completed it on the flight from Rio homewards, hoping to publish on one of my …
Yes it's four weeks to the day that I fly out to Quito to begin my two month South American adventure. It sounds like a fair whack of time, but honestly for an entire continent with so much to see and do I've been a bit exasperated by the fact there's so much I won't …
Hi folks! Well recently the Olympics just finished as you’re possibly aware. I rambled up some thoughts on them a couple of weeks back when they were about half done but held back on actually publishing the post. The point of this post is/was not to ‘bash’ the Olympics, although I confess to not being …
