And so it was that I left London via Stockholm to go to a little island out in the middle of Atlantic Ocean known as ‘Iceland’. And what a strange, confronting and challenging 2 weeks it would turn out to be. What can I say about this country? It’s well, not over-endowed with trees. That’s …
Don’t you hate it when you head somewhere and then years later realise, you have no idea where you were? Now with my diaries from this trip gone, I can only guess at the name of the town I stayed at when I was in the county of Devon, in the south of England. It’s …
I read a blog earlier this week talking about places that weren’t well known but really worth visiting, and Lyon was amongst them. Which sort of surprised me because I thought it was well-known. I loved Lyon. It’s really a glorious city and despite being there in 40 degree heat during August 2011. I can’t …
First things first - Happy New Year! I am six weeks away from jetting off to Thailand and Myanmar so pretty excited about that! Hope that wherever you are you had a great New Year. Here in Melbourne we're getting some serious heat, it's about 38 degrees right now and we're heading for 41 …
So. If you’re in Europe and want to go somewhere that doesn’t quite see the tourists that the big cities of Paris, Rome, Prague etc see, let me suggest one to you – Luxembourg. One of the smaller countries in Europe, Luxembourg and its main city, Luxembourg, are both charming spots to visit and although …
Ahhh Prague – How I remember thee in 1999! It really was an awesome 5 days, even if I can’t remember all of it or even half of it! I took an overnight train from Amsterdam to Dresden. I was very happy that I paid an extra 40 bucks or so to upgrade to a …

With little time this week to actually write a blog post, I thought it would be a good idea to return to 'Foto Friday'. Here is a road in Australia's top end I travelled on in 2008 when in the Northern Territory through the famous Kakadu National Park!
When choosing my Eurail pass I chose to add the section of Europe ‘Benelux’ onto it – this includes three countries whose names combine to form the word ‘Benelux’ – Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg. I was going to two of those countries, and after the Netherlands I was considering my options. In the end …

I made my way this afternoon to Kyabram for a sad occasion - my grandfather passed away last week. Well, he made it to 94 and that's a life to be celebrated in my book. On the way up with my wife (thanks to her for some of these pics) I missed a turn in …

Okay – I could have called this one a ‘Sunday Spotlight’, but I liked the ring of ‘Perfect Palolem’. I am writing about a little beach and village in India that I visited in 2001, so it’s been quite a while, but I suspect that the place, though different I’m sure, is still pretty special. …
