Paracas to Nasca

Pisco sours are sneaky! They go down all too easily with your freshly grilled fish and scallops, and leave you with furry brain lag the next morning! But I'll go back for more, in a couple of days. We started the day with a drive to the Julio C. Tello ... Read more >

You'd think with 9 months of planning, preparing, psyching up that I'd be chafing at the bit right now. This is one of those bucket-list trips which I'm still unable to accept is actually happening. Counting down 11 hours until I leave Perth for Lima, ... Read more >

It's always a bit hit-and-miss trying to synchronise with the weather and our sojourn in Prague broke even.  The train from Munich rolled it's way steadily through the farmland of southeast Germany and the forested woodlands of western Czech Republic, ... Read more >

We managed to survive the first afternoon in this city named after it's 4th century monks (München) but only just! I think the snow in Innsbruck was a few degrees warmer than here! But as any good tourist does on coming to a new place, they get ... Read more >
