Getting saturated in tropical rain on scooter

Getting saturated in tropical rain on scooter

Philippines has been on my must-do list for a while now, particularly as everyone was gushing about it while I was in Indonesia. This trip was supposed to have been done around 2018, but delays and then Covid hampered things a tad!

Great White Shark cage diving

Great White Shark cage diving

20 days to sample the "other" down-under... a trip covering parts of South Africa, Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe in February. Cape Town to Vic Falls get the treatment, while I mix in a safari or two... Now where did I put that elephant gun?

Sicilian Pizza .. drool

Sicilian Pizza .. drool

Gwen and I took a week out to explore western Sicily, based around Trapani. We didn't know what to expect, but what I found was a little bit of paradise right on our doorstep. Excellent coral reefs, ancient Greek temples, and the world's best pizza!

Marrakech souq

2 weeks had passed after my epic South American adventure came to an end. Nary had I downed a pint of the black stuff before I was whisked away once more, along with Gwen, back to Africa. What adventures await in the heart of Morocco?

Moiagasm!

Moiagasm!

After previously dipping my toes in Latin America via trips to Cuba and Central America, it's time to go for the big splash! 3 1/2 months to take in as much as I can, armed with little more than my camera, laptop and a few dodgy Spanish phrases.

Day 3 ... Lookin forward to Uhuru peak, Kilimanjaro

With Toto's defining tune ringing in my head, I don khaki pants and venture full-throttle into Africa! Elephants, lions, huge mountains, men with spears intent on stabbing me (probably) and the "Cradle of Humanity" (tm)... 4 weeks ain't gonna be enough!

Swish antique

2 weeks in which I crap-dance salsa-stylee in my own inimitable way; terrorise the Cuban people after one-too-many mojitos and visit bars where they actually ENCOURAGE people to smoke cigars as big as your leg. If I get time I'll take in some culture..

Welcome to my travel blog mates! I spent 2 months in South-east asia (during SARS outbreak!), then circumnavigated Australia in a van (10 months), then visited NZ for 3 months before coming back home via the US. Time. Of. My. Life. Period!
