  • TALLINN – ESTONIA

    17/11/24 – 19/11/24 It was cold and dark when we left the Citybox Hotel in Helsinki, but with our stomachs lined with donuts and coffee, we made our way on the tram to the West Terminal harbour, to take the ferry across the Baltic Sea to the Estonian capital, Tallinn. A few companies operate this…

  • HELSINKI – FINLAND

    15/11/24 – 17/11/24 After two flights – broken up by a short stop in Riga Airport – we finally landed in the Finnish capital, Helsinki, around 8:30pm. The air was cold, and with the wind chill the temperature hovered around -4º, but that’s nothing that a big coat can’t fix! We took the train from…

It was a relatively short and uneventful flight,…

    6/4/24 – 7/4/24 Wadi Rum was an incredible experience (even down to my goat-hair tent!), but on Saturday morning, I found myself in the back of Ibrahim’s Jeep, heading back to civilisation. I said my goodbyes, and was left in the carpark outside the Wadi Rum Village Rest House. My next destination was the Red…

  • WADI RUM – JORDAN

    5/4/24 – 6/4/24 I had opted to take a ride from Petra to Wadi Rum Village with Asri Tours, a minibus operator that makes the trip twice a day. Everyone in this area is well-connected, and the guy who runs Asri Tours (on the minibus, of course) contacted Ibrahim, the manager of Wadi Rum Fire…
