Planning for South America 2020

With just a couple of months to go until South America I have started to finalise things for this trip. This will be the first time I have been to the continent and have decided to make an appointment for the Yellow Fever vaccine. Although it is mainly Brazil that it is most common (which I am not visiting on this occasion) I have decided to get it as a precaution for Chile, Bolivia, Peru and Colombia.

A Google Earth animation preview of this tour can be found below:



I have managed to order 2 out of the 4 currencies online as they are not common ones some of them were hard to get hold of before reaching the country. I have got my hands on some Chilean Pesos and Peruvian Sol and will need to pickup some local Bolivian currency when I get there. As for Colombia I am in the country less than 12 hours so I can just use my card at the airport to get some food before joining a city tour. 

After this multi-country group tour is over it should take my total tally of visited countries up to 47.

Amsterdam is a city that I visited several times now, with my first visit been in August 2014. The most recent time was Summer 2016 on the Expat Explore Northern Explorer tour as this was the start and end point. Amsterdam is also a very common connecting hub for international flights into Europe at Schiphol Airport just 10km away from central Amsterdam. Amsterdam is most famous for its bicycles and canals. So on the first evening of our tour we took a cruise around the canals of Amsterdam. As we got to know our group we had the chance to have a pizza and some ice cream on board. Another top sight is the I Amsterdam sign. This is a great spot for tourists to get their group shots. The building just behind that is the Rijksmuseum(Shown below). This has arts and history of the city of Amsterdam and costs €17.50 at the time of writing. I have never been in and have only walked under the archway to get to the canals. Other places of interest in Amsterdam are: Van Gogh Museum...

I have been to several cities in Germany, I decided to put them together in 1 blog. Berlin I visited Berlin as part of an Expat Explore's Northern Explorer tour in August 2016. We drove in from Poland on the coach and spent roughly 36 hours here spending 2 nights in the hotel. On the first evening we had a quick visit to Checkpoint Charlie and then onto a meal at a local restaurant which was included. Checkpoint Charlie is the name given to the border crossing between East and West Berlin during the cold war. The following day was a full free day to ourselves. Some of the main activities to see are: The Berlin Wall(Free) remains all over the city and some parts remain in good condition with original graffiti to view. Brandenburg Gate(Free) Reichstag Building(Free with advance booking) is where the German parliament is. Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe(Free) Brandenburg Gate. My video from my video in Berlin can be found below: Munich I visited Mun...

Asia 2017 - Day 16: Leaving Asia

Raining once again as I left Tokyo transferring to the airport. I had used transfers in all 3 different countries to and from the airport, all of them were on time with no issues. Tokyo Airport I used my last few Yen coins trying some limited edition Japanese mint flavoured kit-kat which were very nice. I would be flying with Aeroflot for both of the flights back to London. Soon after we boarded we were informed that the in-flight entertainment system was broken, which was not ideal for a 10 hour flight. We were offered several drink refills, 2 meals and a yoghurt/ice-cream throughout the flight tho which was nice. Aeroflot plane Moscow Airport I had a 3 hour connection here, so I grabbed a few croissants and tried to grab some rest in the corner somewhere. The next onward flight to London would be 4 hours but it was OK as I had enough leg room on this flight. Heathrow Airport I arrived into London and cleared border control around 21:30pm. I would be staying overn...
