We strolled through town. The walk from Dachau Bahnhof (train station) was only half an hour. The sun hid behind a blanket of clouds; tempering the otherwise golden warmth. People wandered about town; happily busy with their day-to-day lives. We weren't quite right though - we hadn't had a coffee yet that morning. Stepping out of the café with our warm brews in hand ensured our mood quickly improved. The sun had come out and we enthused about the usual topics. S...

When I was a boy, my aunt Megan took me to see The Sound of Music musical at QPAC in Brisbane. I remember being immersed in the Von Trapp story as I watched Lisa McCune and Bert Newton perform on stage - they were big names back then! Little did I know it then, but at the same time a redheaded girl somewhere in the Northern Suburbs of Brisbane was probably watching the same story being played out on film by her beloved Julie Andrews.

We were greeted by a diverse variety of humanity altogether which reminded us in no small way of the Tangier melting pot. Hipsters mixed with hippies and p...

Our visit to Åndalsnes was quite similar to that of Flåm: a spectacularly scenic train ride dropping us at the end of another of Norway's picturesque fjords. Excess in hiking ensured again too - this time Sjane needed to be coaxed into returning back to the township. The mountain (Romsdalseggen) always seemed to offer one more peak a little further along, and another breathtaking viewpoint from which to admire the region's beauty. It was at the windy peak of t...
