I’m currently in Johannesburg airport waiting for the second of my three flights that will take me back to the UK. This is the third time that I have had a long transit here – the previous times being on the way to and from Namibia back in 2002. Unfortunately […]

The journey home from Chile
Normally I consider paying extra for better seats a luxury or an unnecessary expense, with standard seating usually being adequate, but after my final flight home I think the ones I paid extra for were worth every penny. In total I paid in the region of 150 euros for an […]
Bienvenido a Chile
Welcome to Chile! I have just checked into the apartment where I will be staying for the next 10 nights and it’s really close to everything. It looked a little far out on Google Maps but my friend assured me it was central and he was right – the nearest […]
A nightmare journey home
After arriving back in London I think I needed the luck that I wished for in my previous post as the journey was certainly an experience. This is going to be a fairly text-filled post as I didn’t take many photos due to it being a travel day and due […]
I’m on my way to Central Asia

We’ve arrived in Amsterdam
I’ve made it to Amsterdam and have found it to be a colourful and diverse city so far. Tomorrow is the day I see Nightwish but first about my journey here. Yesterday I made my way up to the Travelodge in Luton where I checked in and chilled for a […]
Helsinki Day 4 – Returning Home
Today was only really taken up with getting home. We had a lazy start to the day, showered, packed etc then walked slowly to the bus station via the market square again for some last minute photos. The bus to the airport doesn’t accept tourist cards so we had to […]
