We have returned safely from the jungle, thankfully not eaten by jaguars or peckish locals (although the mosquitoes had their feast as usual). Last time I wrote we were in the town of cowboy hats about to visit the Copan ruins. The entire town's ... Read more >

On a rare sunny day off I headed over to Windsor to check out the castle and walk the loop track through the grounds. The castle's pretty impressive (as it should be, being the oldest & largest occupied castle in the world) though I can't say much ... Read more >

Brighton - early Jan. As I mentioned in my last posting, Anna and I went to Brighton in January and it kicked arsed. It was a spontaneous trip. It was a pretty uneventful morning when I suggested we take a day trip there. Within an hour, ... Read more >

We foolishly braved the Easter crowds to visit Longleat Safari Park on a Saturday. Yes, we went to an English Safari Park, very different from the real thing! It was the first drive-through safari park set up in 1966 We were prepared to put our patient ... Read more >
