Al Forsan – Abu Dhabi’s Sports and Leisure Resort
What is there to do at the weekend in the United Arab Emirates? Many people that come to visit the UAE often ask what there is to do other than go to the mall - especially in the summer months, when it's too hot to be outside, camping, hiking, dune bashing, wadi...
Ras Al Khaimah Dive Trip
Ras Al Khaimah Diving? Are you sure? You're right, Ras Al Khaimah is not the first place that springs to mind when you talk about scuba diving - not when you have the East coast of the UAE, or better still, Musandam just up the coast. But dismiss it, and you'll miss...
Snake Canyon Wadi Bani Awf Oman – Canyoning down the Wadi
For a long time I've been wanting to go to Snake Canyon, to do the canyoning, but also to really do the Via Ferrata which is attaching yourself onto steel wires above the Wadi floor and going for a wander up the side of the Wadi walls and across the actual gaps in the...

The Barossa Valley – wine country part 2
The Barossa Valley - a must do, if you are in the area and are even remotely interested in wine. We managed to actually get 4 cellar doors in on this occasion, but considering the vast number of them, this was still a tiny tiny number. We managed to hit Turkey Flat,...
Heading into Wine Country – McLaren Vale South Australia
Our 1st visit to wine country saw us head to the Mclaren Vale. This is a region not to far away from where we were staying. We visited Paxtons first, they are a small winery, who are heavily into Biodynamic farming to make their wine. Makes them stand out from just...
1st trip to Oz – what’s in store!?
Annalisa and Matt (sister and brother in law) moved to Australia in July 2011, just after my birthday. It's something that Annalisa has been wanting to do for a long time and finally, after all the usual hold ups an hassles with visas (2 years) they were on there way....
