Travel

These blogs and articles all relate to my travels and adventures in different places.

  • Florida

    We stayed at Galveston Island for a few nights on our way through Texas, and I enjoyed my stay there.

  • Genoa, Italy.

    Today, the ship arrived in Genoa, Italy, and I took an escorted tour of the city.

  • Gibraltar.

    Whilst living in Spain my mum used to come & frequently stay with me for a while. On one such occasion between Christmas 2005 & New Year 2006, I had an electric problem. I contacted an electrician about rewiring the whole house & he said he could do it immediately but that it would

  • Houston Space Center

    I had visited the Cape Kennedy Space Center in Florida many times, but this was my first trip to the Houston Space Center. Although there is more to see at the Kennedy Space Center, I preferred seeing the command centre in Houston.

  • Huangpu River.

    Today, we had the morning at leisure in Shanghai before going on a cruise along the Huangpu River to view the Shanghai skyline from the river. After this, we went to Nanjing Road for some retail therapy.

    Today I woke up in the port at Ilheus, Brazil & went on an escorted coach tour to see Ilheus, & the Tijuipe waterfalls. Unlike yesterday's tour in Salvador, this was a brilliant day.

  • Jekyll Island

    Jekyll Island was beautiful, and if I ever win the lottery, I may buy a home there. The homes are all built on large plots of land and have beautiful, lush green surroundings. The beach was beautiful, and I enjoyed watching the deer playing in the dunes as I went for a sunrise
