Sun-Drenched & Olive Scented – Katakolan, Greece – [08/10/2013]
Fried cheese, sunshine, and big floppy hats. This was one of those good days. That sounded weird. Let me start again. Doing the whole ‘lunch’ thing in port is really only fun when you have someone to do lunch ‘with’. … Continue reading

The Tale of the 600 Steps – Jamestown, St Helena – [04/16/2013]
It breaks your heart going up, and your neck going down. This is what they say about St. Helena’s “Jacob’s Ladder”, an aged stone stairway hewed into the rock of the amphitheater that surrounds the colourful little chocolate-box town of … Continue reading
‘Cause this is Africa – Cape Town – [04/08/2013]
You’re a good solider Choosin’ your battles Pick yourself up and dust yourself off and back in the saddle I went to Africa and it rained. A lot. At first. I sat in the temporary silence of the still-empty crew … Continue reading
