AUSTRIA: An incredibly short time sadly, however the time was spent in VIENNA, wow, a beautiful city so steeped in history. There are many similarities to Germany, however the 'hustle and bustle' and the 'graffiti' thankfully are all far less apparent. Please 'click the flag' and have a look at my photographic records.

ENGLAND: Having now explored limited areas of London City, the Thames, various Castles, and the City of Liverpool, it has only enticed me to venture more as time permits. England's history, the people and the shops all wonderful, a real eye opener. The negatives are certainly there, the security with CCTV seemingly on every corner.  Please 'click the flag' and have a look at my photographic records.

GERMANY: A country linked to great interests of mine, BMW, Mercedes Benz, Porsche, German Railways and Marklin Model Railways to name but a few.  Please 'click the flag' and have a look at my photographic records.

HOLLAND: Another incredibly short visit sadly. A quick walk around Amsterdam.

IRELAND: The Emerald Isle, beautiful scenery, some strange goings on, I kissed the Blarney Stone at where else 'Blarney Castle', woohoo. Quite amazing how different the North (British Rule) and the South are, differing currencies and imperial vs metric units of measurement for example.  Please 'click the flag' and have a look at my photographic records.

ISLE OF MAN: The most inviting place I have ever been, I simply adore this Island, its people and the long term links to all things Motorcycling!!  Of course my opinion here is biased somewhat by the TT,  Please 'click the flag' and have a look at my photographic records.

JAPAN: I came away from Japan with a wide variance of views, I adored Mt Fuji, parts of Tokyo, some beautiful Temples and Shrines and of course the Honda Hall at Motegi. However, I was surprised at the general state of the countryside and urban areas. Please 'click the flag' and have a look at my photographic records.

MALAYSIA: Exclusively limited to a fast train trip to the capital, Kuala Lumpur from the Airport during a break in flight times. The cities skyline is certainly changing, sadly the extent of men purporting to be palm readers and quality (not) watch sellers, just incredible.  Please 'click the flag' and have a look at my photographic records.

SCOTLAND: A real eye opener, some magnificent scenery, lots of mystery and the Scots are very proud of their heritage. A visit to the William Wallace Monument was a must!  Please 'click the flag' and have a look at my photographic records.

UNITED STATES of AMERICA: Magic, it's early days but I have had a wonderful time travelling in the USA. There is so much to see and do, sounds like a travel brochure, but it is true. Please 'click the flag' and have a look at my photographic records.

WALES: A very different country when compared to England and Scotland. A mixture of Castles, vast wild countryside and that proud Welsh heritage is very obvious. Please 'click the flag' and have a look at my photographic records.
