Poznan – a walk in the old town – August 2019

Poznan is only about 150km from my Polish home. Not even 2 hours drive, but I have never been there. I remember stepping out onto a train ramp on the way to Warsaw, but never been there purposely. I guess there was never a need for it, and 150km…

Trzebnica Kuzniczysko i Stary Mlyn

Having lived in Australia most of my life, travel distance for me is a very different concept compared to Europe. In Sydney, I drove 150km to get to the beach. I drove 750km to get to my holiday resort and that was no issue at all. Hell, Sydney…

Toronto – blink and you miss it

There are places I want to visit, and there are places I'd like to live in. Toronto is the former. What's not to like about that city. It's big, but quiet and peaceful. If someone asked me anything that I remember about this town, it would be…

Niagara Falls – a spectacular sight

We were told that the Canadian side is much better to view Niagara Falls and they were right. No point describing here what they look like. I'm not a poet. It was just beautiful, and frightening at the same time. There is a spot at the top of…
