Storm Clouds Loom in Ushuaia
As we make our way around the tiny town of Ushuaia it is hard not to miss the Portlands. They are the lifeblood of this small city that is the southern most city in the world. Between container ships, Antarctic cruises and other ships this is one busy place. The weather is unpredictable in this part of the world, so when I got the opportunity where it was not raining or snowing I ceased it to grab a few shots of this impressive waterway.
Inspiration – I celebrated my 50th birthday in Chianti Then started a business!

Inspiration – How Japan changed the way we travel
If we can make it in Japan, we can make it everywhere! That was our mantra back in 1996 when we headed to the land of the Rising Sun. Everybody told us Japan was such a strange country.

I’ve never been any good at following others’ advice. When it comes to big decisions I’ve always relied on following which option would make me happiest and not the one that’s ‘best’ for me.
Egypt – A photographic journey
Are you ready to see a different side of Egypt? Being our second time visiting this Middle Eastern jewel gave us the chance to look at it with a different set of eyes. Yes, the pyramids are mesmerizing, but having seen them before, we could look beyond their majesty and take in the atmosphere around us.
Our Favourite Photos of 2011 by Destination
This past year was an interesting one. We got to re-visit some places we had already been but more importantly we got to take in some of our dream destinations for the first time.

So sit back with a cup of coffee and come travel with us for a few moments.
