I have wanted to visit Egypt and the Pyramids for so many years - only to be disappointed with the reality versus the hype of Giza. Why?The pyramids are not as big as expected, easily scalable (as one young man did start to try, leaping up and across the breaks even though he clearly didn't …

Living the life you want to live – live your dreams
River Danube Cruise
With another sister (Not the one visiting Egypt with me, another one) we both wanted to visit Europe and see some places like Germany, Vienna, the Danube and Rhine. We saw local stereotypical buildings in Germany, Switzerland, Budapest etc. I hadn't realised how beautiful the architecture would be, like Prague, just so lovely and artistic. …
Egypt at last!
Egypt was a place to visit for most of my life. I found it fascinating so over the years I have read about it, the pharaoh's, seen displays like Tutankhamun's in London or Manchester a few years ago -but not the death mask and mummy. So many temples, like this one at Philae and more …
Venice 2022
A long-awaited visit to Venice with my sister and BIL over from Australia too. A place I wanted to visit but always to plan it. It was cold on the evening we arrived, in a long sleeve T-shirt but warm in the daytimes after that. A lovely place, unique and interesting. Boats everywhere instead of …
Sailing on the River Danube
How beautiful this sail was from Budapest in Hungary through Austria to Germany at Nuremberg where historical WWII war crimes were tried and charged. The houses were very much as you imagine or were taught perhaps - the squared off roof in Austria and the turrets and olde style castle styling of Germany - all …
Prague in the Czech Republic
From my memories of the Iron Curtain republic, it was a surprise to find such a lovely city to visit, many go more than once and I can see why. I would definitely go back, especially now I know my way around the relatively small centre and Old Town focus. What to see From the …
Europe for a change
Following on from my solo backpacking world exploration a few years ago, now I want to share my experiences and recommendations for European cities you can visit. On my own explorations the last year or so and more going forward. This year was a Danube River cruise with my sister from Australia who never got …

Moments….
Moments come infrequently - even when travelling. This evening was a moment, frozen in time for me! Arriving in Te Anau at th e lake about 1.20 pm today, from the lovely alpine town of lively Queenstown, the beautiful glacial lake - 342 m around, 400 m deep and sitting 300 m above sea level …
Re-starting my life through travel
Reading Nomadic Matts latest blog post on travel films to watch on flights and scenery of the movies, two phrases struck me - that I relate to. The title one and 'its not what you carry but what you carry inside of you'. My year out travelling 'the world' is only a tiny part of …
