Using a bit of time off from the Busabout Greek Island Hopper I visited Rhodes, one of the largest of the Greek islands, closer to the Turkish mainland than Greece but only a short (and cheap) flight away from Athens. I arrived in the morning, and immediately jumped on the bus into Rhodos, or Rhodes […]

While BBK is in the town of Bilbao in the north of Spain, and Benicassim (or FIB as it’s known officially and by locals) is in Benicassim on the south coast both run with a similar […]

I decided to explore the island after a shining recommendation from a friend, and I’m grateful for it. It’s easy to get to from […]
Read More Aegina – Quiet Greek IslandOn to Sihanoukville, another bus, but clearly not a bad one as I remember nothing of it. I did leave Jess behind here, but was re-united with Nico who I’d travelled Laos with and a few old good friends. The first place in Sin-Ville, as it’s jokingly known as, we stayed was possibly the cheapest […]
Read More Cambodia Pt4: Sihanoukville Pt1Cambodia is an amazing country surrounded by amazing countries. But what makes it our favourite? Simply, it’s the balance of tourism, temples, history, beaches, exploration and pure unspoiled natural beauty. It has something to offer for a lot of people, with Siem Reap and Phnom Penh drawing in huge crowds for the epic temples and […]
Read More Why Cambodia is our Favourite SE Asia destinationCornwall is full of pretty little beaches and coves, Constantine and Treyarnon offer some nice walks for those not wanting too much. There’s a little place to park around at Constantine, a beach which is popular with surfers throughout the county (on the days when the waves are rolling in the right way of course) […]

Read More Cornwall – Treen to Penberth to Porthcurno ft: The Minack TheatreSt Anges is a hidden little treat of Cornwall. It hides away just 20 minutes from Truro, mostly eclipsed by it’s neighbour Perranporth, which leaves it naturally developed and beautiful and feeling like a true Cornish town, and not a tourist retreat. As with many of these special little town, the cost of seclusion is […]
Read More Cornwall – St AgnesSince I returned from Ireland, and before that as well, I have worked in a Bar in Polzeath, Cornwall. A pretty little village with a great surfing beach, this is one of the slightly less know gems of Cornwalls north coast. Polzeath grew up as a fishing village, just like all of Cornwalls’ towns, but […]
Read More Cornwall – Port Isaac and PolzeathAfter our time in Cambodia, we took the southern border crossing into Vietnam near the coast, it was all part of the transfer package we’d got to get us to Phu Quoc island. The border crossing and transport was the usual ramshackle, but functional affair, and while I don’t remember the exact buses, I’m sure […]
