Why Lisbon is a dream in winter 🌆🇵🇹
Mild temps, cozy cafés, empty viewpoints, and no crowds at Jerónimos or the castle? Yes please.

Not all boats need to be fancy! Sometimes a wreck is the most picturesque! Shipwreck on Loch Eil Scotland with Ben Nevis in the background. Sometimes the magic of a boat is getting into places that you just can't otherwise access. This little boat took us to the Big Tree Trail, Meares Island, Tofino, Vancouver Island. A boat can sometimes be the visual definition of serenity. For some, living on a boat would be a nightmare, for others it is a literal pot of gold!

Sometimes it's the simplicity of food that makes the best dishes. This was a simple Crab Sandwich, no fancy sauces, no marinated meat, just fresh-caught local crab and daily fresh soft bread. Ample crab meat lightly seasoned. Nothing better. #TownsvilleQueensland

Had the Sunday roast at The #CadoganArms and wow, hard to beat. Native rump of beef, crispy roasties, Yorkshire pudding, the works. We also tried the fish & chips, which was spot on. London’s had plenty of great meals, but this one stood out.

Remembering that summer in Australia has its challenges.

This ‘Big Boy’ I found walking across our living room floor a couple of years ago.

One of the biggest Sydney Funnel-Web Spiders captured for anti-venom.

He wasn’t happy with me.
