Little Places – Copacabana, Bolivia
Ahhh I need to post something about somewhere that wasn’t on my recent trip to India and Sri Lanka! But what to post? Ahhhh yes, I’ve written about it before, but why not Copacabana. Bolivia that is. Because I don’t think I could possibly classify the glitzy beachside suburb of Rio as a ‘Little Place’. But Copacabana certainly is. It
Read moreIguazu Falls – Above and Below
The world has some pretty amazing natural wonders to see, and giant falls rate up there with the best features of our planet. You have Niagara Falls which borders Canada and the USA, Angel Falls in Venezuela, Victoria Falls which sits on the Zambian and Zimbabwean border, but not to be outdone, Iguazu (which means ‘big’) is at the border
Read moreTravel Video – A Peek At Peru
Hi all. Hope you are well as the week comes to a close. Today I’ve put up a video of my time in Peru in late 2016. It’s got a bit of stuff from Machu Picchu, I did, quite a while ago now, a full video on that. Anyways, Enjoy! Also here is my short Machu Picchu video again if
Read moreBariloche – Through My Lens
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. There are loads of walking
Read moreLima – Through My Lens
I probably wasn’t going to do a ‘Through My Lens’ on Lima. From memory, that of a year ago, it didn’t stand out as one of the most amazing places I’d visited visually. But then I looked through the photos I took and I thought ‘gees there’s such contrasts, interesting buildings, architecture, and more’. So that’s why it’s here today.
Read moreQuito – Through My Lens
Quito, Ecuador’s capital, is a surprisingly attractive city. I had no idea that I had taken so many photos when I was there! It’s built on and around hills, and has a gorgeous Old Town which is the best part of it. Enjoy! Panecillo Hill stands over Quito, with a statue of the Madonna watching over the city. However, be
Read moreBuenos Aires – Through My Lens
Howdy all, it’s time for another edition of ‘Through My Lens’ and this time to the Argentinian capital, Buenos Aires. And it’s a very photogenic city with different districts and some incredible architecture. Enjoy! Thanks for stopping by! May the Journey Never End!
Read moreGateway Countries – Ecuador
When I arrived in South America last year I flew into Quito Airport, Ecuador. This would (besides the insides of a couple of other airports) be my first taste of the continent. Ecuador was my ‘gateway’ country to South America. Would this prove a good choice? For example, a country like Chile might often be people’s first experience of the
Read moreSunday Spotlight – Arequipa (Peru)
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 Cusco is probably more interesting,
