G'day mate

I'm home from three brilliant weeks in Oz - mainly in the Northern Territory and Western Australia. Highlights were; camping amongst the crocodiles and waterfalls in Kakadu National Park; cruising along the Kimberly coast and stopping at Aboriginal rock art sites, reefs, gorges and horizontal waterfalls; and learning all about the pearling history of beautiful Broome.

While I was away my features about Silversea Silver Spirit and about cruising down the Mekong were published in the Mail on Sunday (see link in portfolio) and also my feature about breadmaking at Eckington Manor was published in BBC Countryfile magazine.

Next Sunday I'm off to Arctic Canada with Cruise North!

Tahiti and beyond...

So I battled the ash cloud to make it to Paris for my flight to Tahiti last week and enjoyed a lovely week onboard the Paul Gauguin, visiting Bora Bora and other beautiful Polynesian islands for a Mail on Sunday feature that will be appearing later this year.

This weekend I spent the night onboard Silversea's new ship Silver Spirit and my review will also be appearing in the Mail on Sunday soon.

Look out for my interview with Jilly Goolden and a feature about cruise and stay packages in the new issue of Cruise International magazine, out soon.
