USA's Route 66 – You Can Still Get Your Kicks

Hey, I’m on a roll with all the rock from last week’s post. Music is today’s theme as well, but this time the spotlight is on a 62-year-old icon. No, don't yawn. I'm not talking ageing rock stars, I'm talking songs. I'm willing to bet you know it, and...

Rock and Roll Park Heaven at Myrtle Beach

It’s only rock ’n’ roll, but we like it, agreed? Music that changed the world. So. Hands up who’s going to South Carolina soon? Anyone? Ah well. This piece of news might change your mind. Hard Rock Park , a brand new way to have fun to music, is opening...

Britain’s Oldest Road - A Corker of a Walk

When I lived in the UK, a friend and I went for a walk. A long walk. It lasted a week. It took us through some of the best scenery in southern England, wore holes in our socks, gave us blisters, backache, sore shoulders and experiences we will never forget...

Vienna - Have Your Cake and Eat It

Maybe I need to get out more; I believe the weirdest things. No, I do. Years ago, someone told me Vienna was boring. I believed them, more fool me. When eventually I had to go there – note, had to – it was with great reluctance. There was just one thing...

It's Official - Parisians are Polite

Please be honest. Have you been treated rudely in Paris ? Because I haven’t. No one (with the exception of my non-French travelling companions) has ever been rude to me anywhere in France. Your experience might be different – but are the French really...

Krakow or Cracow? Whichever Way, it’s a Cracker

A little research over lunch has uncovered a sad state of affairs. The questions were basic. “What do you know about Krakow? Would you like to go there?” The answers (in a nutshell): “Not much. Poland, Pope John Paul. Never really thought about it.” Hopeless...

Where on Earth will you be this Christmas?

Made your Christmas holiday plans yet? Hmm; right. So I’m here to help. You can start saving now. Remember: there are only 200-and-something days left… and by the time you read this, there could be even less. Improbable as it might sound, the nicest place...

Queenstown Winter Festival

Look, I haven’t become obsessed with New Zealand. You have to believe me. It’s just that New Zealand has been dogging my blogging in a very persistent way. To be frank, I'm feeling miffed with the place. This could have something to do with discovering...

The Los Angeles Jigsaw - Pick Your Piece

Friends of mine – well, some of them – assure me Los Angeles is quite straightforward. I believe them. It’s just, um, I can’t pull the place together in my head. Don’t get me wrong: I always like being there; it's a ridiculously easy place to enjoy. But...

Top Travel Destinations - Kiwis Come Out Tops

It’s enough to give you a complex; it really is. Especially if you’re Australian. TripAdvisor has just published a list of travel bests , in its Traveller's Choice Destination Awards . Top destination in the WORLD? Milford Sound, New Zealand. Second?...
