Hi folks, it’s another Sunday, and another ‘three’. This time I’m talking about cities I liked visiting in South America. I wanted to try and steer clear of capital cities, and I did it! So don’t be confused by my third option, it is not the capital! South America is an incredible continent, I can’t …

Imagine that you had time off and wanted to explore West Africa. Regular readers know this is one of my favourite regions of the planet, one I have visited on no less than four separate tricks. But it often doesn’t rate much of a mention on many people’s radar – it’s out of the way …

As readers should know, I loved Jodhpur when I visited a few months back now, in fact it became my favourite city in Rajasthan. It sits slightly below and to the side of the incredible Mehrangarh Fort which watches over the whole city of Jodhpur. In fact, it’s only a very short walk from the …
I don’t get to post much on the States, which is a pity, but that’s mostly because the last time I visited there was 2004, in other words, a very long time ago! But that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t like to get back there. I mean, if I could up and take a year long …
Hi all. Time to change it up a little. Today I’m looking at one of the larger Eastern European countries, Romania. It’s been well over a decade since I visited Romania, but I still remember it as a great destination for a variety of reasons. Here, today, are five of them! It’s Varied! From the …
Around 9 kilometres from the incredible Rajasthani city of Jodhpur, is the town of Mandore. I hadn’t heard of this town before heading to India this year, and I probably would have missed it all together if I hadn’t felt like doing something on what I had sort of planned as a ‘rest day’ whilst …
When travelling from Australia or eastern Asia to Europe, there are number of possible airlines and routes to get you there, and one of the most popular, usually flying Emirates, is to go via Dubai. Emirates connects a large number of European cities to a large number of Asian/Australian towns. And I always hear people …

Howdy all. It seems a long time since I did a ‘Sunday Spotlight’ post. I wanted to get away from writing about places from my last couple of trips, so I looked through a few of my old photos and I settled on Munich, the Bavarian capital in Southern Germany. It’s actually a really nice …
Sri Lanka’s Hill Country, as I may have mentioned in previous posts, is a cool, green wonderful region in Sri Lanka (naturally enough!). The roads are winding and often quite busy, but there’s no doubt about the best way to see and get around the Hill Country – and that’s by the train. There is …

A bit of a way from Nuwara Eliya, along a beautiful train ride through the mountains of Sri Lanka’s ‘Hill Country’, is the town of Ella. Once a bit of a secret to the crowds, Ella today is a bustling tourist hub of the foreigner, and the occasional Sri Lankan tourist too. It seemed like …
