The title of this post is innocent, but the content behind the subject matter is palpably sinister. I of course refer to that Mediterranean meal that is designed to pounce on unsuspecting and carefree travelers. If you have no idea what a meze...
Concrete is king, here in Cyprus. Most of the houses, offices, any buildings really, are made of concrete. Even the crazy paving slabs around our pool are mostly concrete, some better quality than others. Take a close look at the crazy paving in...
If we ever travel to far away (or close by) places for a holiday, then we invariably stay in a hotel close to the beach. On our recent trip to Australia, we decided to break from that tradition and try self-catering with Airbnb. What an eye...
In June 2018 I visited Lake Como in Italy. This is what I wrote at the time. Hardly had the time to get over our trip to Australia, when suddenly our trip to Lake Como in Italy is fast approaching. On this trip we will be visiting St Moritz with...
I wrote this in 2018 and a lot has changed since then. Was I predicting the future? Who knows? Air travel is wonderful because it takes you to far away places that you may never have seen in your lifetime if you had traveled by train, boat or...

David Cay Johnston, author of the best selling book, The Making of Donald Trump, has been examining the affairs of Donald Trump for thirty years. In his new book, It’s Even Worse Than You Think: What the Trump Administration Is Doing to...
For the first time since we had arrived, the weather had cleared from cloudy and raining to a beautiful blue sky, so we decided a trip down the Swan River to Fremantle would be a good idea. The Swan River begins as the Avon River, rising in the...
A surprising aspect of our first trip to Australia was the food. We stayed at an AirBnB apartment in Quinns Rock, north of Perth, and therefore had to cater for ourselves. Nothing teaches you more about a community than what and how they eat...
I’m not a particularly good sleeper at the best of times, but this morning I awoke at 02:37 and could not get back to sleep. Jet lag is one reason I’m awake, typing away on a proper keyboard (what a delight compared to my travel...
Well, we made it. My wife and I survived all that Australia could throw at us, which wasn’t too much as I only saw one tiny brown spider and the sharks and crocs were all in aquariums. What has knocked us both for six is the travelling. It...
