Hi, I'm newly 60, newly retired, and, in the words of my great Welsh countryman Dylan Thomas, "Raging against the dying of the light," one country at a time. #travel #travelphotography #solotravel Follow my adventures at www.donotgogentlytravel.com

Dubrovnik city walls are virtually empty this time of year. Spent the afternoon up there till the light got better, and stayed for sunset.

Trip from Split. When the guy said, "This is the entrance to the Blue Cave", I thought he was having a laugh, but no. We were the last boat that made it in, they closed the cave straight after.

Spent the day in Slovenia's beautiful Soja Valley yesterday, towering peaks, cascading waterfalls, emerald water and bouncing bridges.

Currently in Vienna. I've always wanted to see the Spanish riding school and the spectacular white horses, so attended the morning training. Unfortunately, they don't allow photography of the horses, so I used AI to give you an idea of the show.😀

Spectacular flight over the Andes from Pereira to Bogota yesterday. Glad I got a window seat! 😀

While birding the Santa Marta mountains of Colombia, we met two men from the local indigenous people. It's encounters like this that make travelling worthwhile.

20 years ago, Comuna 13, Medillin, Colombia was the most dangerous place on the planet. Now, it's known for graffiti, hip hop dancers, bars & tourists.

Excellent day yesterday at Reserva Natural Jardín de Rocas. Normally to see a Cock of the Rock Lek, you need to be up at dawn. Teatime is much nicer!

I hate heights, but I tried, I really did. Then I saw it. La Garrucha, Jardin, Colombia. There's brave and there's stupid. I'm neither :-)

Interesting first morning in Bogota. Hit Plaza Bolivar and found a massive procession of singing, white-robed priests, literally hundreds.

Ok! A little naughty as you're not supposed to photograph in there. A few, "shot from the hip" shots at the Bone Chapel in Kunta Hora, near Prague. Extraordinary ossuary. Creepy! #traveladdicts #travelphotography #solotravel #travelbloggercommunity #noflashphotography

There's a spot in Caye Caulker, Belize where you can feed Tarpons. Hold a small fish between your fingers and these giant fish leap out of the water to snatch it. www.donotgogentlytravel.com #solotravel #seniortravel #traveladdicts #travelbloggerscommunity #travelphotography #belize #cayecaulker
