Howdy all. Today’s ‘big city’ I am writing about is Tehran, the capital of Iran. When I write about my time in Iran, I don’t really write much about Tehran. The amazing cities of Yazd, Shiraz and Esfahan usually are the cities I write about, and they all have a lot of history and sites …
Howdy all and I hope this post finds you well! Last week I took the chance to attend the Royal Melbourne Show. The Royal Melbourne Show is a big event that happens every September-October in Melbourne at the Royal Showgrounds, Flemington. If you’re in Melbourne at that time of the year, it’s not a bad …
South-East Asia is a non-stop smorgasbord of interesting, fun, exciting places for the traveller. Thailand is the prime hub I guess in many ways, with beaches, trekking, the nights and lights of Bangkok and more, Malaysia offers all that but in smaller doses with a fair dose of colonial history and architecture if that’s your …

I've been trying to identify the fish I saw - I know the one with zebra-like features is the Scissortail Sergeant, but I'm lost for any others. There are at least three types …

Hi all. Today I had two snorkelling experiences. It's been something I've wanted to do more of since I first tried it. The water here on the Gold Coast is around 25 degrees at the moment which is perfect for snorkelling. I went out on a boat early this morning to Wave Break Island, and …
If Russia is a country you are considering visiting, then you’re best to start planning as well before your departure date as you can. For the Russian Visa is not as straight forward to organise as most others. Whereas visas seem to slowly being phased out, or replaced with Electronic Visas which you can get …
Hi all. Continuing on delivering an Australia-based post a week, today I wanted to talk a bit about getting around Australia by air. For the visitor to Australia, especially one with limited time on their hands, air travel is probably the most logical way to get around, simply because the distances are so great. A …
Howdy all, and it’s time for another face off between two opposing cities. Both in the Bengal area, but in different neighbouring countries, we have the Bangladeshi capital Dhaka facing off with the city that put Mother Theresa on the map, the city formerly known as Calcutta, Kolkata. Kolkata sits in the eastern part of …
Travel to Africa is often seen as exciting, adventurous, exotic, and perhaps a little dangerous. Westerners may typically imagine safaris and African animals, jungles, or perhaps poverty, whilst the north of Africa brings images of deserts and camels. If there is one country in Africa that can defy most expectations, though, that country has to …
Hi all. You may recall last year I had a special find - a roll of film from my visit to Egypt in 1999. Today I put them together with the others I had to present photos - good old 35mm photos - from Egypt. Thanks for stopping by today - take care - and …
