Well, its been a week since my last posting and tomorrow we head off back to Canada. I miss my kids, but I'm reluctant to say goodbye to this wonderful part of the world. It has been a busy week. We arrived back in Adelaide on Monday evening, quite late after our week on the …
A walk in Newfoundland
By Pippa On the 26th of July we went for a walk in Port Rexton on the Skerwink trail. We started at around eleven. The trail was supposed to take only one hour, but it took me way longer than that because, me being me, I stopped every five minutes to take a picture. And …
A Tour Around Iceland
By Pippa On Monday July 16th we went on a golden circle tour around Iceland. The first stop on our tour was a crater lake. The crater was created when a magma chamber under the ground emptied out and collapsed in on itself. Now there's a beautiful blue lake in the middle of the crater. …
Magnificent Isle of Man
By Neil Up until a couple of weeks ago, I had only visited the Isle of Man twice before. The last time was in the late 1980's and it was memorable only for how miserably cold and damp it was. The rain never stopped from the moment I landed until, well, I guess, sometime long …
Reliving Lancaster
By Neil For those who don't know it, I can best describe Lancaster as a small University City in the North West of England, not far from the much heralded Lake District. It is an old city, with archeological evidence of human habitation dating back to the Iron Age and earlier. It was a port …
A little jaunt to the Lake District
By Rachel There is just something about the Lake District for me. Maybe it's the dry stone walls snaking up - and sometimes over - the fells. Or the treeless fellsides alternating between short grass and tiny wildflowers and scree and rock. Perhaps it's the little stone cottages snuggled into a little crook of a …
In China at Last
Well after several months of not posting anything (entirely due to the fact that I hadn't gone anywhere) I make my first post on this blog. Now due to the fact that I am in Beijing these posts are going to be a tad all over the place, with that said, now to talk about …
Working without an office – Roviano style
By Rachel It's half way through our time in Roviano already so I thought it was appropriate to share my new 'office' with you. Not quite the same as Adelaide - there's no public library to spend portion s of our day at - but it's been pretty great, particularly in the sunny days. When …

Roviano and me
by Neil We have been in Roviano for about a month now and it is proving to be quite the interesting experience. The most common reaction we get from Italians we meet who don't live here is "Roviano?" "Why Roviano?" Good question, difficult to answer. The decision to stay here was based on wifi availability, …
Hiking to Anticoli Corrado
by Neil Living in Roviano is wonderful. Perched here up on the mountain side you get an amazing view of the valley, being able to see for miles in many directions. It also piques your curiosity as to what the places are that you can see around you and, more importantly, how do I get …
A year of discovery
