With a lot - a lot - of time on my hands these past weeks, I've been doing a lot of work scanning old pictures and renewing old memories.

If you were only to have one last trip to France where would you visit. For me it would be Australian Remembrance Trail, and to see the caves in Naours where some ANZACS wrote on the walls of the caves. Read More

While doing some research for our next trip to Switzerland I ran across a reference to Zinal, a place I'd never heard of. It seems to be a good hiking area, and because we go to Switzerland primarily to hike, I became intrigued, but can't find much about it online. Would Zinal make a good base for three or four days of hiking? It seems the c... Read More

Now that we are all dreaming about holidays... For years I have dreamed of going to one of those stilt houses that you see on the cover of travel brochures. You know, the ones where there is a row of thatched houses stretching out into a blue blue sea, and in the morning you just step straight off your patio into the water. Normally you see them...

We're heading to Wyoming in our camper for about 10 days. We'll be entering the state through Laramie and leaving through Cody as we head into South Dakota.

Find a train able to ta... Read More

This post is, I confess, born out of a little boredom but also some curiosity. While stuck at home (in Australia) I have been watching more trashy television than is probably good for me. In my viewing, there are programs showing many Americans moving to Europe and renting/buying property and I'm curious as to how they manage that. I don't mean... Read More
