Waking up in my hotel room knowing I didn’t have to shove breakfast down my throat and rush off to the Exhibition Centre to start work was refreshing, to say the least. Sunday mornings are all about relaxation and taking it easy, I reckon. The sun was out, Collins Street was devoid of the usual traffic and I [...]

The country market is one of those places that I wish I visited more often. Yes we have our share of city farmers markets dotted around town and as good as most of them are, the ones beyond the urban wilderness have a certain simple and unstructured format about them. I find they’re even cheaper than the [...]

Most of us know the feeling of waking up in a bed that is not our own; you open your bleary eyes, look up at the ceiling and for a brief moment have no idea where you are. Someones couch? A friends place? Or a hotel room on another continent? Case in point one morning before I jumped [...]

Zipping through the beautiful countryside at about 300km/hr from our last port-of-call, Béziers, the train headed up to Paris where we’d spend the last days of our trip living like locals in a Marais apartment. What’s a French holiday without a visit to Paris? This was my third visit to Frances capital and it was also [...]

The city of Toulouse, located in the country’s southwest, sits smack-dab between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean. Its compact historical centre is easily walked and is a wonderful place to explore. The Place du Capitole with its stately buildings is the centre of town and the hub of social life in the city. Posh restaurants, shops and street cafés [...]

Yeah, check it out. That gleaming spiral of goodness is the famed Saucisse Toulouse. Made of pork, wine, garlic, herbs and a few other bits. It’s a simple concoction, a damn tasty one and coming to Toulouse and not trying it is sacrilegious. So here we are, after a typically delayed flight from London courtesy [...]

The first time I went to London was back in 2002 as part of an epic nine-month journey around the world. A journey that began in LA and meandered its way around Central America and a 2-week road/scuba trip around Cuba, up to New York, over to Europe & the UK down to Morocco, back up to Europe, the Middle [...]

this little foodie went to market …   Aaahhh Wellington. Despite the shitty weather you put on for me this time ’round, that blasting icy wind and that bizarre mist that wafted about at dusk in a horizontal fashion … I still think you’re fab. You’re a youthful city, you know how to make a [...]
