‘After you’ve finished we can take a pletna out to Bled Island.’ She said smiling. ‘There’s no rush is there?’ I replied, snapping out of my reverie. ‘No, no. You savour your kremna rezina. No-one rushes at Lake Bled.’ I skewered another piece of delicate pastry on the end of my fork and gestured towards […]
Zanzibar Spice Island; the name itself throws forward images of an exotic and chaotic scene of sailors, traders and pirates. Prior to arrival, I had a preconceived notion of Zanzibar that would not be that far removed from a scene in Treasure Island. This says that 1. I have an overactive imagination and 2. Zanzibar […]
Travelling has the capacity to open your eyes so wide and show you a world that you may never have imagined existed.

As Kenny, of Aussie portaloo fame once said, toilets ought to be the first thing that people think about when they’re organising things, but it’s not.

Boom! I woke briefly, sleepily wondered what the noise was, then quickly fell back asleep. After years of being on the road, and living in noisy cities, I am an awesome sleeper. It wasn’t until about an hour later, when I stumbled out of my tent, and saw an unusual mist in the air, did […]
