I wandered up to the Cenotaph (war memorial) today where I thought the botanical gardens were. Though unless I had the wrong place, it was little more than a wide, sweeping space of grass over-looking the port and water. Still, it was a nice place to get some peace and quiet. Sometimes you miss being alone as a traveler. Although you're always alone in a sense, you are always surrounded with people and it can be nice to be completely isolated sometimes, especially in the fresh air... I then...

As I am traveling it only feels right to have my family as a part of this. Check them out, aren't they just fabulous, especially little Lucy...................

Well Im off on a bit of a trip! Having met up with Tom in the Kings Street Backpackers in Melbourne we have decided on a trip to Tasmania for a few days - booked flights for $160 return and have headed off to the airport. Only just managed to get there in time for the flight and after some frantic checking in we hopped on a Jetstar flight for 45 mins to the Natural State of Australia. I've had a soft spot for Tasmania ever since learning about the existance and extinction of the Thylacine -...

Although we were in Tassie for basically 2.5 days, we were able to do quite a bit.  Traveling with parents is quite a different affair filled with less exercise, more food.  Not necessarily a bad combination in small quantities.

Australia's best kept secret. Spent a week driving from Hobart west to Strahan, up to Cradle Mountain, Devonport, Launceston, Swansea (stayed at the charming Piermont Resort, recommended to me by Steve Irwin), and ended back in Hobart.

i spent about 7 weeks in oz at the beginning of 2007. happy days - didn't have enough time to do the west coast though... next time :)

Great to see old friends.

This is my adventures studying abroad for a semester in Townsville.

Few pics to share

From Feb to Sep 06 I visited every country except Paraguay and the Guianas (no offence to Paraguayans!). To see an overview, click on the photo to the left then "View Trip Summary". Highlights were Patagonia (Arg, Chile), Cordillera Blanca (Peru) and kitesurfing in Is. Margerita, Venezuela!

I love Tasmania. I feel so energized when I visit there. Beautiful scenery, friends folks, great wine and food. Couldn't ask for any more.

Just thought i'd make this travelogue to show an overview of the places i've travelled in the last 10 years. In development!

In early 2007, my wife and I are travelling around the world over a six month period.

A few pics from my first trip to australia, with my brother Justin. We spent some time in Hong Kong on the way there & the parents came out for a holiday when we got to Singapore. Don't count on the dates to be right by the way!

We went for a week end in Tasmania with Cecile, Laetitia and Olivier. Just have a look at the pics!!!!
