Well… It’s been a while. Since returning to England my blogging has suffered somewhat. All these promises to write Australia and catch up from where I left off never materialised. The truth be know I’ve been busy and quite frankly I’ve had better things to do with my evenings. I … Read More

After a fairly comfortable flight we arrived at Miami airport and I got my first glimpse of the country that dominates the world! The first thing I noticed were the yellow taxies outside the airport – just like the New York cabs you see in the movies. Very bizarre. I … Read More

As usual it’s been ages since my last post and nothing about my travels has been written. I have good intentions then I get lost in a mind field of web hosting, servers, domain names and content management systems, then by the time I’m sick of not understanding what’s going … Read More

Why did I come back again? I take back everything I said about enjoying being at home. It was good for a week maybe two but now I’m well and truly ready to go again. It’s Saturday night, I’m struggling with my masters project, there is bugger all on TV, … Read More

Well I didn’t do well at updating the blog did I. Its been 23 days since my last post and in that time I haven’t had a spare second to catch up with things. I have however been, as usual, having an amazing time…. until recently (more on that in … Read More

Once again time is slipping by and I am destined never to get the blog completely up to date. I did get a good bit written over Christmas but now it’s back to limited internet access. Australia is over, we’ve moved on… I’m sitting here writing this in a VERY … Read More

It is said that all the sand from the Eastern coast of Australia eventually ends up on Fraser island – a gigantic sand bar measuring 120 kilometers by 15 kilometers and one of my favourite places in Australia. To access Fraser Island we had to get a ferry and then … Read More

A three hour boat journey took us to Knuckle Lagoon on the outer Great Barrier Reef. A perfect location for a day of snorkeling and diving. We’d got a good deal on an introductory dive when booking the trip and were the first group due in the water. As soon … Read More
