So, I have come full circle and arrived back in Europe, exactly 7 weeks after departing from London! I decided at the last minute to change my same-day transfer flight to Luxembourg and actually spent a couple of days in London before heading “home” ... Read more >

Niagara Falls

CANADA | Tuesday, 26 May 2009 | Views [690]

The day after the wedding, everyone staying at the Roycroft had breakfast and then pretty much left straight away. I got a lift to Niagara Falls, where I spent my last night of my trip in the YHA on the Canadian side of the falls. Niagara Falls are super-... Read more >

The spirit of Mexico

MEXICO | Thursday, 21 May 2009 | Views [448] | Comments [2]

I am SO happy I decided to come to Mexico, despite all the "dangers & annoyances" and the recent swine flu outbreak, and I really wish that I'd had more time to explore this great country, in particular Southern regions. I was somehow ... Read more >


Michelita in Michoacan

MEXICO | Thursday, 21 May 2009 | Views [588]

As you can imagine, it was pretty tough and rough to get up the next morning. Fortunately, a very typical Mexican breakfast is a great cure for hangovers: 2 "kekas" (quesadillas - tortillas with melted cheese and a filling of your choice) with ... Read more >

Fremantle and Rottnest Island

AUSTRALIA | Tuesday, 5 May 2009 | Views [411]

I spent my last 2 days in Australia in Fremantle & Rottnest Island, 20 km south of Perth, but miles away in personality! Fremantle is a picturesque little town full of historic buildings and a hub of the arts & music scene. Moreover, ... Read more >

Four leisurely days in and around Leschenault

AUSTRALIA | Monday, 4 May 2009 | Views [574]

On my first day at Gemma & Rob’s “Leschenault resort”, I decided to have a lie-in and make this a lazy day. That does not mean that I didn’t do anything! I took the opportunity to sort out some admin stuff and reply to some e-mails, upload ... Read more >


Perth

AUSTRALIA | Sunday, 3 May 2009 | Views [457]
