Scotland Decides

Scotland Decides

Even without the Scottish referendum for independence taking place, the road trip I’m presently enjoying in Scotland would have been memorable. But being here & travelling around the country during this momentous time in Scottish history has just enhanced the...

Israel-West Bank Barrier Art

Israel-West Bank Barrier Art

My trip to the Middle East in mid-2008 was memorable. I found Jerusalem in particular fascinating. It's one of the oldest cities on earth & a city sacred to all three of the major Abrahamic religions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Needless to say the place is...

Ireland Road Trip 2014

Ireland Road Trip 2014

I'd road tripped around Ireland a few times before, chaperoning overseas visitors around this gorgeous little island I call home. Every trip has been enjoyable - road trips always are, even those taken over familiar ground. But there was something special about the...

Barcelona, Spain to Dublin, Ireland || Flying High

The flight home earlier today brought, for now, an end to my travels for 2014. The skies en route from Barcelona's El Prat Airport to Dublin Airport's T1 were busy. I saw a few flights crisscrossing the vastness out there with this one, 34,000 ft above (I'm...

Granada, Andalusia, Spain

Granada, Andalusia, Spain

I spoke too soon. It was overcast and wet my first day here in Granada - I arrived having left the sun (sea & sand) of Malaga & the Costa del Sol behind. But that was a few days ago now & the anomaly of clouds & rain has passed. It’s beautiful here...

Malaga, Andalusia, Spain

Malaga, Andalusia, Spain

M alaga. Nice place. Old too. Spain’s sixth largest city, & interestingly the southernmost large city in Europe, was founded way back in 770 BC making it one of the oldest cities in the world. Being that old means it boasts quite a bit of history with remnants of...

Marbella, Andalusia, Spain

Marbella, Andalusia, Spain

I really have little to complain about but I’m particularly loving life right now. Loving Marbella. Loving the Costa del Sol. And I almost feel I have to apologise for that. https://twitter.com/ByrneDavidM/status/474829835542724609 The Costa del Sol The Costa del Sol,...

Gibraltar

I ’m just back in the little southern Spanish port town of Algeciras having spent the day feeling like I was in England. Actually, I was. Kind of. Gibraltar || England With Sunshine Union Jacks, Bobbies on the beat, red telephone boxes, fish & chips, black...

Algeciras, Andalusia, Spain

Algeciras, Andalusia, Spain

O h it is good to be back home in Europe. It's good to be enjoying cleanliness, things that work &, I must say, seeing more of females than just their eyes or faces. Yes, Morocco had women of course but being the staunchly Muslim country that it is, all females...
