What better way to find a trip more adventurous than a cruise. I should know, I went on one in September into the Fjords of Western Norway. The vast ocean, dozens of cruise ports in lesser explored regions of the world, exhilarating excursions and plenty of new...
Escape the Northern Hemisphere and head to the summer delights of the Southern Hemisphere in South America at the end of the year. All eyes are focussed on the Latin Continent for the World Cup this year and its native countries are pulling out all the stops to ensure...
2013. Despite my previous post that shared how I felt in the last few months of 2013, I do have to say that the year had some great moments, perhaps more to the first half of the year. But setting that aside, 2013 was the year of photography for me. Or specifically,...

13th February 2013 After my Favela Tour of the day, I spied a huge opportunity. A HUGE one that is. We got dropped off in Copacabana Beach. Despite many successful attempts by Dave and Austin of TwoBadTourists to stop me buying a pair of speedos and strutting...
