Jukkasjarvi, Sweden

Have spent the last two nights at this small town in the north of Sweden, just near Kiruna on the Torre river. Daylight here is from about 9-2.30pm each day although the sun never comes up over the horizon which makes for some magical colours in the sky. It is the site of the Ice Hotel and has been for 20 years. Built fresh each year out of…

St Petersburg, Russia

Have been having too much of a good time to do a post recently, so am a bit sketchy on the detail... I have fallen in love with Russia, especially St Petersburg. It is such an amazingly beauti…

Mother-of-the-Bride (aka Narelle) Hey Beau I think I speak on behalf of the group when I say 'what's with the no posts since the 29th of Dec???' First you get us hooked with your travel hilarity and then nothing for a week. Not cool Beau, not cool. Seriously though, am enjoying the tales and I think someone has uncovered a hidden talent. Imagine that life - combining travel with writing about said travel. Something to think about Beau is all I'm saying. Who has two thumbs and is enjoying being a lady of leisure - this gal (imagine me pointing both thumbs at my chest and being all cool). Just returned from a week at the beach and if there was a time to go to the beach in SE Qld, it was after Christmas and before yesterday (had another diluge last night). I'm suntanned, rested and looking forward to Courto's wedding on the 15th. I do need to invest in a couple of AFD's however. Hopefully all is well and you're getting the time away from the rat race that you needed. Think of you often. Talk soon Narelle

Don't worry that youre missing summer, pretty much rain since you left. Hope your new buddies helped celebrate your b'day appropriately. ENJOY !!!!

Kaye Scott Hey Beau Hope all is well and that you aren't too cold. My last day at work today! Have had bad storms over last two days, with another predicted for today. Bec was caught in hail storm on Wed, so is now awaiting a call from the assessor. Was very scary for her and Bryson. Take care love Mum x x

jeff Hey mate always saw you as a crocs man :-). Do you get to keep them ? did one of your circuits on sat arvo, your ears were probably burning, my singlet was soaked with sweat and my lungs were collapsing... loving your photos, Great Wall looks amazing and the Summer Palace beautifull. Overheated train would have been hard to deal with. Hope its as much fun as it looks !!!
