Belém is where Lisbon keeps its most famous postcards. The Jerónimos Monastery, Belém Tower and the Monument to the Discoveries all stand within walking distance of each other on the bank of the Tagus, a short ride west of downtown, with Portugal's best-known custard tart bakery in between. That closeness is also the trap. Most visitors do the same loop at the same hour, and by late morning the lines spill down the street. The answer is order, … [Read more...]
What To Pack For A Winter Cabin Break In Scotland
A cabin in the Highlands in winter is hard to beat. Short days, long evenings by a stove, crisp walks and very little to do except slow down. It's the kind of trip people come back from feeling properly rested, as long as they've packed for the conditions. Scottish winters can be beautiful, but they're also changeable and often wet, and remote cabins don't always have a shop nearby. A bit of thought before you leave means you'll spend the trip … [Read more...]
Solo in Ubud: How to Spend a Week That Feels Like the Real Bali
Most people turn up in Ubud with a list. Monkey Forest, the rice terraces, a swing over the jungle, a smoothie bowl with a view. All of that's there and most of it is worth seeing. But if you are travelling on your own, the thing that tends to stay with you is something else: the slow morning before the scooters start, the offering someone sets down on the step outside your room, the conversation you fall into over dinner with a stranger who is … [Read more...]
A Full Day in Mijas Pueblo (And I Still Didn’t See Everything)
Four years living twenty minutes from Málaga, and Mijas Pueblo was the trip I kept bumping to next month. Everyone who'd been gave me the same rundown of white walls, donkeys, and a coach park. I figured I already had the picture, so why rush it. I finally drove up a few weeks ago thinking I'd give it two hours before lunch back on the coast. I left at 5pm with a list of things I still hadn't got inside. The lift that drops you into the … [Read more...]
Razor Kayaks R2 Ultra Review: Ten Fossil-Hunting Trips in an Inflatable Kayak
By Morne Mamlambo, Mamlambo Fossils My first trip in the Razor Kayaks R2 Ultra is the one you can watch in my video Fossil kayak adventure pays off. I drifted down the river toward the river mouth, past people fishing for salmon, with limestone and sandstone cliffs and the odd cave along the way. It was about 86°F (30°C), which is hot for New Zealand, and so peaceful on the water that it felt like the best way to fossil hunt. Drifting … [Read more...]

Why I Went to Lamjung Instead of the Annapurna Circuit
We were at the junction in Besisahar where the road splits, and everyone else in the vehicle was going north, up the Marsyangdi, toward the Annapurna Circuit and the teahouses and the pass at 5,416 metres that people fly across the world to walk over. I asked to be let out at the turn for Hugdi. The driver repeated the name back to me twice. Then he shrugged in the way Nepali drivers shrug at foreigners and at locals who are behaving like … [Read more...]
