Today I’m in Katakolon, Greece. As a port, it’s not particularly interesting, but about 30 minutes away is the site of the first Olympic Games, called Olympia. For those following this blog, you’ll notice I did a few cruises in April, but never posted the photos, and now I’m finally getting around to it. Today [...]

Back in April, after spending a week in Istanbul, I flew out to Croatia to join another cruise ship. I had to spend a night in Dubrovnik, which has a beautiful old town surrounded by high castle walls. I’ve only ever visited during the day, when it is packed with tourists, but now I had [...]

Istanbul I just visited Istanbul! I didn’t take any photos though, as I was only there for a few hours, and just visited the juggling shop. But back in April? Due to volcanic ash clouds, I was stuck in the city for a week. In that week I did loads of tourist things, and took [...]

Back in 2004 I visited Canada… for about an hour. I walked across a bridge, looked at a big waterfall, and then walked back again. Niagara Falls was very impressive, but I’ve not been back to Canada since. A few days ago I visited St. John’s, Newfoundland, at the end of a cruise. I had [...]

The weather was terrible at the first stop in Iceland. Seydisfjordur isn’t really a jumping place, so all I did was go to a hotel to use the internet. In fact, the rain was so bad, I spent part of the morning watching Dexter. I finished all of season 3 in two days. My only [...]

The Blue Lagoon is an artificial lake, created by the outflow of a geothermic power station near the international airport in Iceland. I’ve visited Reykjavik so many times that I can spell it correctly without looking it up, but I’ve never visited its most popular near-by tourist destinations. Today I took that opportunity! Just after [...]

My first time in the almost-country called the Faroe Islands. This is a collection of islands half way between Scotland and Iceland. I flew in, past towering cliff and rolling hills, and landed at the tiny airport. On the way to the hotel me and another entertainer chatted to the taxi driver about killing and [...]
