Iguassu Falls (Foz de Iguazu) I had thought about the falls but not where the town around them might be or what it was called so Foz de Iguazu was small, a little boring and unkempt to some extent. However, nice friendly people, and a taste of real life again that I always want to …

Journal entries from my year out solo backpacking round the world August 2015-June 2016
Ibiza at last!
My first and maybe only Ibiza adventure! Ibiza, I found, is not just a party island either as its reputation suggests but the many holiday-makers there show another side to it - and again, a stunning place, arid and dry, a little wild (not just at the party towns either!) but the seas and beaches, …
Kangaroo Island, Aus
Kangaroo Island, off Adelaide S Australia really does have wildlife abounding - I saw the echidna for the first time ever! Roos up to 6 foot tall within feet of me, mum and baby in the bush and rare birds above us on a trek out with Paul! A rook talked to me, distracting me …
Peak Experiencing – an elephant ride!
What is it like to live your dream? Mine was travelling, for a year, with a backpack, living simply and experiencing culturally. Those moments that remind you consciously and may seem bizarre or surreal that you are actually there, seeing what you see, doing what you do and being who you want to be and now …
Cold Asia! What a con!
What is Asia's obsession with air con??? Yes, Westerners might struggle with the heat and humidity but at night, sleeping or on trains not moving much, it gets freezing!!! I have experienced this daily now for months!! I, like many others in dorms, struggled with icy cold air con, either one setting or changed by …
Paraty beach touring!
9th May 2016 I saved a fish today! I was on a trip to the beaches ( really all one beach,,), walking along one with Jo the guide, she pointed out a beached fish gasping for water....so I picked it up, paddled in to the sea, and put it in deeper water but not above the …
Reality of Australia!
Sitting on the train on 10 Nov, from Sydney to Melbourne, not long after we set off, I was looking out of the window about 8 am and was surprised - confused - about the countryside I saw. It looks a 'little deserty' I thought! Then I remembered it was desert-like and dry .. …

Me savouring the moment in Ibiza .. on my own the day before meeting my daughters coming back from a year away, enjoying the peace, relaxation, …
Wairakei, Taupo, North Island
Wairakei Geothermal park in the Tongariro volcano area of the north island... On my way to Wellington, I stopped off at a place, so I was told by Bernie and Michael and their friends - Taupo that they visit for holiday breaks, and where they had a speed boat I think. I found it …
Visiting Middle Earth!
Hobbiton and the home of Middle Earth! A trip out of Rotorua to Hobbiton was a highlight of my trip to New Zealand! Having been a Hobbit/LOTR (Lord of the Rings) fan since I was 18 years old and my then boyfriend got me to read it and bought me the books, I am hooked! …
