Jungle camp!
When we camped, which is usually the last night of the tours - hadn't been sure whether to go or not, and Susan and Tom had returned to Iquitos the previous day - I didn't realise this and just thought I was going on a new jungle walk so didn't tale anything like extra clothes! …
Rio beaches…
So there is the city of Rio de Janeiro and its four main beaches, and then at Paraty (para-chi) where there are other beaches I visited on a day tour. The waves were crashing and it was dramatic, on rocky beaches all along the stretch from below the waterfall at Trinidade (trini-daje) at Cephilo. …
Camping in the Amazon!

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 …

They still produce young after several years and she apparently has been a calming influence as he was taken into Crocosaurus Cove after becoming too dangerous to humans in the wild. He …

The rucksack is a 7 litre Osprey which I chose after some research and trying it out. Weighing just 3 lbs it is very light and roomy. I have tried it in Scotland but only to the station, from the station and back to the station and walking home etc. Still, I managed! The …
Going with the Flow …
Going with the flow enables us to 'be in flow' too sometimes. You know those times when things run smoothly, opportunities appear just as you need them and life seems easy (for a change)? Saturday morning was one for me - popping to the local village for birthday items, I realised my hair needed doing before …
A month to go!
Well, time is creeping on. Well, not exactly creeping, more like leaping ahead! It's just about a month until my travels start, albeit in more familiar territory of Europe for a few weeks before returning for a special birthday and then off into the wild blue yonder as my mum used to say! I think …
My journey – still ongoing …
So, it's April since I last posted here! 8 months and still counting. 10 months since I made a decision, and realised openly I want to travel really - not just a dream! Today I read this and it has inspired me to hold on to my dream and continue to take the steps. …
