This morning weve got tickets for Torontos iconic gothic revival style mansion, Casa Loma, and then this afternoon we plan to head to the beach. well that was the idea, but we look out the window at grey skies and rain, which might put paid to the bit about the beach. The beach we planned to go to was at Scarborough Bluffs a few kilometres further along the shoreline of Lake Ontario. We saw some Read on...
Wow! We do I start.... Prague has just been enchanting... such a beautiful place and the most amazing buildings you will see anywhere and such a beautiful feel about the city wherever you walk! Its such a special place because it has remained relatively unscathed from World War II bombings this was because planes didnt have the range and also because bombing targets tended to be in Germany and ind Read on...
On Monday March 18th 2020 was when lockdown truly started for Uganda. On that day, an immediate and strict lockdown was put in place: no public transport, no boda (motorcycle) taxis, closure of all shops and businesses, schools and a 7:00pm to 6:30am curfew.

Below we will write about four of the hikes we made during our vacation. Read on...
So all packed and checked out of hotel now a spot of lunch. We found a lovely little place called Sage - well did we find it truly, no Graham had been given the heads up that it is a great spot for brunch. It was a really stylish place. I loved the light fitting and might take that idea back to Blighty, anyway I had better mind my Ps and Qs. Back to the hotel and then the journey begins. We get to Read on...
We flew from Brisbane to Darwin to spend a couple of days preparing our bikes & picking up Keiths new bike. This has been good acclimatisation to the heat (so far over 30 each day - plenty of cooling dips in our hotel pool.)
Checking all our gear that we had left here with our bikes nearly 3 years ago, has been successful with nothing missing. The Scooter Shop where we had stored them had service Read on...
After a surprisingly good nights near Boscastle Harbour I woke up to a colourful sunrise introducing another day of unbroken sunshine. It was a short easy walk along the cliffs to Tinatgel where I treated myself to a night at the Headland Campsite. Most campsites seem to offer a reasonable rate for walkers, but not here. After two long days and the beginnings of a blister I really wanted a short d Read on...
Naples was sure living up to its reputation - what I had seen so far was dirty, chaotic and intimidating, particularly leaving the central train station. It has been a while since I have experienced such hustle and bustle - perhaps not since I was in Iran - and it was all a little unsettling. Momentarily, I put a guard up that I hadnt used since I was in Latin America. Wow.
Admittedly, my mind wa Read on...
