I love to travel solo, take photos and eat! I don't get to do it often enough but when I do I talk about it here.
This post will be a bit technical and boring so that it can be helpful to anyone who stumbles across it looking for the information. Delphi and Meteora are the two big ticket tourist items north of Athens, if you ignore Thessaloniki and the sites further north, but they just don't link easily by public... Continue Reading →
Feeling somewhat accomplished that my first location had worked out as planned I woke up on day 3 with a few hours to fill before starting my bus journey to Meteora mid afternoon. A walk, some photos and some shopping were in order. I had been given complimentary loukoumi at my hotel and loved it... Continue Reading →
It is a quick stroll from the village to the museum and archaeological site along a road with spectacular views. The museum at Delphi is, as you would expect, full of items that were found at the site. This was my first Greek museum and first ancient site and I found the history and my... Continue Reading →
Bright and early day 2 and a taxi picked me up at my hotel to take me to the Liossion bus station. Athens has 2 bus stations, one generally serving the the area to the north and one the area to the west of Athens. Both are outside of the main tourist areas and both... Continue Reading →

After customs, luggage retrieval and a train trip, about an hour and a half later still I made it into my hotel room, ready to crash and get some real sleep. Rubbish! I was in... Continue Reading →
Like all parts of my journey I had researched the living daylights out of my stopover in Dubai. I knew that I wanted a picture of the Burj Khalifa, and I knew that it was Ramadan. Having never been in a Muslim country before, and especially during Ramadan I was a little anxious about not... Continue Reading →
May 30, 2017. Exams finished the day before, kids cuddled goodbye, bags packed. My travels always begin at the local train station where I catch a train to Melbourne to head to the airport. This lets me relax, knowing there are no more emotional goodbyes to be had and I can stop thinking about all... Continue Reading →
Below was my original introduction to this blog. Since Greece in 2017 I have been back to Europe in May 2018 to visit Germany, Italy, France and Spain. In June 2019 I visited Paris and Italy, still working on writing those up. And I finished my law degree! I hope you enjoy the ride! I... Continue Reading →
