Dreaming of Montana

March 22, 2017 by Dave3 Comments

It has been far to long since I have been to Montana. My father and I visited some 20 years ago - a road trip in the spirit of gold mining but in reality became a father-son bonding trip and a chance to explore the great outdoors of the Western USA. Most of our time in Montana was spent in the north and western part of the state with a mix of time spent both in small cities and the outdoors. We also visited Helena and Billings but those were … [Read more...]

64.8253 Degrees South Latitude, Port Lockroy Antarctica

March 10, 2017 by Dave2 Comments

Port Lockroy is a British base that is occupied several months of the year in the summer by a few staff and is managed by the UK Antarctic Heritage Trust. We visited as part of an Antarctica cruise on Oceanwide Expeditions. Space here is extremely limited as the the base is located on Goudier Island - which doesn't appear to be much larger than a small parking lot. And once the staff are on the base they are not allowed to travel off the island … [Read more...]

Two Lovely Days, Where? Gorgeous Catalina Island, California

March 2, 2017 by Dave2 Comments

On an unusually gloomy day I found myself hanging out in the Commodore lounge on board a Catalina Express ferry with my friend Jacki. I promised her I would not continue to whine about the weather but that was a promise I soon broke. We were on our way to Avalon, the urban gem of Catalina Island. 22 miles from the mainland, in the 'olden days' this ride used take up to 4 hours to cross. On the Catalina Express ferry boat it took us only 60 … [Read more...]

Cruising the Beagle Channel on the Paludine, Ushuaia Argentina

March 1, 2017 by Dave3 Comments

I wandered into one of the small tour operator huts down by the harbour in Ushuaia this afternoon to escape the rain and the cold. After inquiring about one of their tours I was soon booked for the next morning - a sailing trip through the Beagle Channel on the Paludine. Allowing only 8 people maximum on board, these sailing tours are intimate and a great way to see the wildlife. After an hour drive on both pavement and a graded dirt road we … [Read more...]

Taipei 101 – March 2017

March 1, 2017 by DaveLeave a Comment

Taipei 101 was completed in 2004 and was the world's tallest building for five years until that record was obliterated by the Burj Khalifa in Dubai. From base to the spire on the top the Taipei 101 stand 1,671 feet (approximately 509 meters). Based on its location in the city, it dominates the skyline - towering above hundreds of 'short' buildings.

The New Wildcrafted Cuisine by Pascal Baudar

March 1, 2017 by DaveLeave a Comment

Author Pascal Baudar is a professional forager. But he is much more then this - he has spent the past 15+ years researching and investigating pretty much anything that grows or is found in the wild (native and non native plants) in Southern California that one can eat, or use in in food. His vast array of plant knowledge and their uses is truly remarkable (we have joined him on one of his private foraging sessions, highly recommended by the way … [Read more...]
