  • Spain: 24 hours in Madrid

    Spain: 24 hours in Madrid

    Apart from short periods of time in my misspent youth, Spain was just a passing flirtation. Someone I had a few drinks with. But recently as a grown-up I discovered a few choice locations in Spain and fell head over heels. As we couldn’t cover the entire country on this visit we stopped short of a whistle stop trip […]

  • Switzerland’s Bag Men

    Switzerland’s Bag Men

    After spending a couple of days digging into the past of the buzzy city of Zurich, a visitor can be completely mellowed out by the beautiful old buildings, historic structures and the cosy vibe of the inner working of the old town. But as pleasant and pretty as Zurich is, there’s the ‘other’ side of […]

    Beverly Hills – the first time around

    Just returned from a sensational trip to Beverly Hills, California and I came back satisfied and with memories of inspired shopping, friendly natives and a relaxed and inclusive vibe. It was many years ago that I first strolled the streets of Beverly Hills. I admit I was a bit of an inverted snob and didn’t […]

  • Beat the drum for Burma

    Beat the drum for Burma

    Rudyard Kipling once wrote: “This is Burma, it is quite unlike any land you know about”, from his Letters from the East, 1889. And now as Burma is Myanmar it still retains mystery. Burma was the backwater of the region, pressed between the Indian subcontinent and Indochina. The country, historically, had a romantic fascination with the […]

    Painting the town red!

    Toowoomba has amped up its street cred because of First Coat. It’s not often you see someone painting the town red, or get the chance to look down laneways and see scaffolding supporting a young man or woman going to town with spray cans – and not in an illegal way. We are not looking […]

    Southern Comfort

    It’s not too far south of Sydney, about two hours’ drive, taking it easy along the way. It’s the beautiful region of the Southern Highlands – an area that is steeped in local history of farming, mining, commerce, bushrangers, Scottish heritage and some wonderful natural wonders of caves, tracks, ghost towns and rugged bushland. Mittagong […]

    British food – no longer a scandal

    1. British pub holds two Michelin stars Pub food at Michelin star level? SHOCKING. After we all saw the film Burnt starring Bradley Cooper, it gave us a glimpse into the immense amount of pressure that is involved in becoming a Michelin star restaurant. Britain’s gastropub The Sportsman located in Kent, Southeast England, has managed to […]

    Italy – Orvieto’s glorious cathedral

     I was remembering coming up a narrow street in  the small, mediaeval hilltop town of Orvieto in Umbria: I lifted my eyes and saw the most confoundingly beautiful structure – a striped cathedal, with intricate, delicate relief carvings on the capitals with sumptuous cornerstones. It may not be the biggest and the best in the […]
