We started our tour in Hungry Bay - Hungry Bay is the best example of a large coastal mangrove swamp in Bermuda but we were off to visit the botanical gardens and listen to our guide tell of his experiences with John Lennon.
In June 1980, when John Lennon docked his yacht in Bermuda, the former Beatles genius hadnt finished a song in almost five years. After spending more than a decade as one of Read on...
Destination Coffin Bay. This was the perfect location to relax for a few days and to celebrate our wedding anniversary.
Coffin Bay is a short 30min drive from Port Lincoln. If driving straight here after checking out of the CP in Port Lincoln, you can be set up and out enjoying the delight this town has to offer by lunchtime on the same day.
The small rural town of Coffin Bay is located on the p Read on...
After breakfast we started out on a medium difficult hike into Emma Gorge (named after the daughter of the original Durack Family who settled in the region).
The hike was over large stones and boulders, and at times we were on all fours. At the end of the hike we were rewarded with a pool of water below a waterfall on the cliff face. We took the opportunity to have a swim in the very chilly water Read on...
Last snorkel – perhaps – at the n.e. end of the island, getting in at the Infinity pool as usual. It was nice and clear and we were the only people out there so early. Saw a big green moray eel, but he out to be photographed. We did see (photo) a couple riding those powered fin boards, or whatever they are called. Amazing balance!
We had to check out by 10 am, which was tight. So tight that w Read on...
Sad to say there was no ferry to start todays walk (though apparently quite a few people do take the ferry from Torquay to Brixham to avoid what is known as a busy and urban section of the coastal path), so we should have been able to quickly get going. However, rejoining the coast line at Torquay sea front to walk the path (which does run beside the busy road) we were soon stopped in our tracks w Read on...
From Tony Bourdains brother: Here is this guy who has had these travel experiences that nobody could ever have.

Ive done it, you know? I just love wandering around aimlessly. Going down streets I haven Read on...
We woke up to a beautiful morning and were already to eat again. Wed eaten both breakfast and dinner out at our favorite places, but were ready to hit it again. But then we found that we had a new problem.
So, our poor RV is about 18 years old. We bought it in the good ol days of adjusting. You older adjusters know, the days where we had to bring printers, scanners, desk monitors; all things that Read on...
From Parma we drove to Valpolicella, near Verona to embark on wine tasting in another area of Italy. When we arrived, we went to our AirBNB which was more of a castle than a house and it had a beautiful patio with a very nice view of the valley. After getting settled in we went food shopping and made a feast of salad, cheese, meats and whatever. Unfortunately we got some bad news that our dog, Mis Read on...
From Glasgow to the Scottish Highlands, this is one of the days Shealyn has looked forward to. Mostly she uses the bus time as her catch up on sleep time, but not today. Shes in the front seat watching out the window for Cooley Cows and the Loch Ness Monster.
Our first stop was Loch Lomond And Trossachs National Park for pictures of Loch Lomond. This National park was the first in Scotland to be Read on...
