17 апреля 2017 г., Австралия ⋅ ⛅ 32 °C
Amazing walk (6.4km) at Watarrka (King's Canyon).

Heading Bush Day 9 - Finke National Park
18 апреля 2017 г., Австралия ⋅ ☁️ 27 °C
Had camped at Finke National Park campsite (showers) overnight. We all got a lie-in to 6:45 and delicious fried eggs for breccie. We left the trailer and took a 4WD trip up to Palm Valley.
Then aЧитать далее
Heading Bush Day 10 - Alice Springs
19 апреля 2017 г., Австралия ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C

Alice Springs
20 апреля 2017 г., Австралия ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C
I stayed at Alice Lodge - small backpacker place. Really friendly with great art in the shared spaces, including work by Tommy Crow who we met in Coober Pedy.
Nice relaxed day getting my laundryЧитать далее
Resting in Darwin
22 апреля 2017 г., Австралия ⋅ ⛅ 32 °C
Arrived here from Alice Springs yesterday. Got a haircut this morning, so I'm less of the wild woman of the outback.
I'm amazed by how antiseptic and soulless my accommodation feels. It's clean andЧитать далее
Darwin
23 апреля 2017 г., Австралия ⋅ ⛅ 32 °C
I'm having a fabulous time, but one thing that's been with me right from my arrival in Australia and is much more obvious in the centre and NT is that it's not a country completely at ease withЧитать далее
Darwin crocs
24 апреля 2017 г., Австралия ⋅ ⛅ 31 °C
I thought I'd missed my chance to see wild crocs because I hadn't made any plans and tomorrow is ANZAC Day with a big parade that starts at 6am (!) with an extra bus at 5:15.
But I passed a 'crocЧитать далее
Darwin to Tokyo!
26 апреля 2017 г., Австралия ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C
Ok so today's a big travelling day, both in miles and culturally.
The nerdy part of me wants to share some statistics...
Northern Territory, area 548,000 sq mi, pop 244,000 (half that of Sheffield!Читать далее
Changi Airport
26 апреля 2017 г., Сингапур ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C
Well I never expected to do a footprint here, but the last 90 mins have been quite remarkable.
Get this! Changi has a Butterfly Garden at T3! It's late evening so not much flying around, but it'sЧитать далее
Tokyo arrival
27 апреля 2017 г., Япония ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C
Made it. If I have one useful piece of information about the Tokyo subway to pass on it's this. It's not like London where trains are tied to lines, so unless you actively change train you will stayЧитать далее
Asakusa - local area
28 апреля 2017 г., Япония ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C
Just a few bits and bobs in my local area.
Tsukiji Market and Skytree
28 апреля 2017 г., Япония ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C
I had a packed day yesterday. My hostel put on a free walking trip to Tsukiji (fish) Market and surrounding outer markets and local shines and temples in the morning, which was really interesting.
IЧитать далее
Shibuya
29 апреля 2017 г., Япония ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C
Well Shibuya Crossing is spectacular in a way - supposedly the busiest pedestrian crossing in the world, but the mural Myth of Tomorrow in Shibuya Station is something else entirely. By JapaneseЧитать далее
Tokyo Food
30 апреля 2017 г., Япония ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C
An ongoing 'Tokyo food' footprint ... erm, foodprint?
I need to work on fruit and veg, I'm probably managing 1.5 per day thanks to lunchtime bananas.
Natural History Museum and an encounter
1 мая 2017 г., Япония ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C
Went to the National Museum of Nature and Science today to see a special exhibition put on by the Natural History Museum. Amongst the exhibits on tour is the fossil of archaeopteryx, which I've heardЧитать далее
More of the local area

Some more peonie pics ☺
Tokyo National Museum and Peonies
2 мая 2017 г., Япония ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C
Looked around the Highlights of Japanese Art exhibition in the Tokyo National Museum with the aid of the very good audio guide (¥500 ~ £3.50). It covers national treasures of the last 12,000 years.Читать далее
Moomin House Cafe
3 мая 2017 г., Япония ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C
Laughed at myself being drawn to a beautiful sushi display advertising a local restaurant as I was on my way to find hattifattener doughnuts at the Skytree Mall Moomin House Cafe!
After a false startЧитать далее
Greenery Day
4 мая 2017 г., Япония ⋅ 🌙 17 °C
I just about managed a quieter day today; not racing around Tokyo like I'm on a mission, but ambling around my local area discovering little things. That felt better, though following every thoughtЧитать далее
Samurai & Ninja Safari
5 мая 2017 г., Япония ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C
Yes, really!
I was offered a free trip this morning by 2 guys drumming up custom for their ... erm... theatrical sightseeing trip around Asakusa. It started off in a normal way, picking out theЧитать далее
Ramen
5 мая 2017 г., Япония ⋅ 🌙 18 °C
Done it! I've finally eaten out (Mister Donut doesn't count). I'd noticed this place before, the pictures of the pork ramen looked enticing, so went in on the spur of the moment. Perhaps I shouldn'tЧитать далее
Gachapon +
6 мая 2017 г., Япония ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
Ok, now I've been properly culturally challenged. I went to Akihabara (shortened to Akiba) which is the home in Tokyo of manga and anime, as well as tech like PC parts, TVs, vintage computer games. OhЧитать далее
Tokyo Pride
7 мая 2017 г., Япония ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C
It's Tokyo Pride week, with the main parade (which seems to be spread out over a few hours rather than a concentrated 'thing') today, so I'm just looking round the stalls and popping to the big stageЧитать далее
Hama-rikyu Gardens (an oasis of calm)
9 мая 2017 г., Япония ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C
Today's my last full day in Tokyo. I wanted to do something relaxing and found I could take a 35 min river boat cruise from Asukasa (my part of town) to Hama-rikyu Gardens, which date back to 1654. AsЧитать далее

Thought there was slime being washed out of the toilet rim at King's Canyon toilets, but no. 5 or 6 small frogs. That was a surprise!
