The trip up to Jungfraujoch (the highest railway station in Europe) was magical. The trip back down wasn't half bad either. Snow and ice quickly replaced by lush green mountain plains. A change of train gave me an excellent opportunity to capture this shot. read more

I got completely lucky with the sky. The sun was refracting beautifully through the clouds as it descended. This photo was taken from Raby Bay Foreshore Park in Cleveland, looking west towards Ormiston. read more

The Brisbane skyline is constantly changing - adapting to the light as the sun tracks across the sky. read more

Taken from the top of the Arc De Triomphe in Paris looking down the Champs-Élysées - with a little bit of tilt-shift magic to get the miniature effect. read more

'Sun in my face, wind beside my shoulder Streaming clouds, banners of new-born night Enchant me now. The splendors growing bolder Make bold my soul for some new wise delight.' --- By the Spring, at Sunset by poet Vachel Lindsay read more

Raby Bay marina in Cleveland is a local favourite spot of mine to sit and enviously admire the yachts... and people who can afford yachts. read more

The USS George Washington was in town so being an ex-matelot I drove over to the Port of Brisbane to take a look. read more

After a fantastic weekend in Paris (for me at least), we caught the Eurostar that Monday morning from Paris Gare du Nord into London St Pancras. This was the first time through the Chunnel for all of us. What can I say, it’s exactly what you’d expect from going through a very long tunnel. It wasn’t … read more

It will be 2014 by the time I complete this blog post series. Anyway…. The rail journey from Grindelwald to Paris wasn’t quite as spectacular as from Venice to Grindelwald, but it was still a great way to travel. This time we caught a German Deutsche Bahn inter-city train. It ticked all the boxes - … read more

It’s been a while since I’ve posted but back to the trip….. Leaving early that morning, our departure was mixed with a sense of regret that we’d only allowed one full day in Venice, but also excitement for the next stage of our itinerary.

A late flight to Venice from Gatwick Airport landed us at Venice Marco Polo Airport shortly after midnight. This was our first visit to Venice but I’d done my research. I knew at some point we would undoubtedly get lost in the car-less maze which is Venice. Trip Series Links Part 1: The Planning … read more

The next 10 days of our itinerary were to be spent in England, visiting family and friends and visiting a few places that we’d always wanted to visit but never got around to it when we lived there. After a trundle up the A1 from London, we finally arrived in Doncaster at about 9pm, a good 5 hours … read more

We had the dreaded night flight from Singapore to London Heathrow, flying with British Airways. It was the first time I’d flown with BA and I wasn’t impressed. After the great Qantas flight it was like stepping back in time. It looked like they hadn’t updated their cabins for 20 years. Small TV … read more

We’re off. After all the months of planning and anticipation the day had finally arrived. I woke really early again that morning. I’m not sure why I had been having such problems getting a good night’s sleep in the weeks before we left. Perhaps it was subconscious anxiety about the trip - a worry … read more

So much for good intentions. I had spent that much time planning this year’s trip that I fully intended to live blog it - giving a day-by-day narration to our adventures. When it came to it however, the itinerary was that packed that for the first 3 weeks there was not a single hour spare to sit … read more

Yesterday myself and Lauren took a trip up to Mount Coo-Tha to take some pics while Rach did some cooking to get ready for the ‘divas’ coming round.We had a quick look around the Botanical Gardens which deserve a much longer stay than what we afforded, before heading up to the scenic … read more
