My Amazing Day at the Great Wall of China

One thing that is on many people’s bucket list, including mine, is to walk the Great Wall of China. While I was in Beijing I booked a day trip to the Mutianyu section of the Great Wall of China which enabled me to tick the Great Wall of China off my bucket list.

How to spend a long layover in Doha, Qatar

WorldWideWill — Sun, 26 Aug 2018 14:17:49 +0000

This year saw the first non-stop commercial flight between Australia and the United Kingdom, lasting just over 17 hours. Direct commercial flights are generally becoming longer and longer all the time, and I don’t doubt that it won’t be long before you can fly almost anywhere on the planet non-stop.

A Wonderful Evening in Brugge

WorldWideWill — Sun, 08 Jul 2018 14:35:44 +0000

My previous trips to Belgium have only taken me to Brussels, so when an opportunity arose for an impromptu trip to Brugge I just couldn't resist. It was a Friday morning when I was asked if I fancied tagging along on a road trip to Europe which would involve an evening stop in Brugge. Brugge has always been somewhere which I had wanted to visit, so I agreed without hesitation, and that evening I headed off for my Wonderful Evening in Brugge.

With a total of 18 world-renowned wine regions in South Australia, and over 200 cellar doors all within an hour’s drive from Adelaide, it's no wonder Adelaide is one of the 10 great wine capitals of the world.

On the 25th November 1928 Adelaide’s premier nightspot, the Palais de Danse mysteriously started taking on water and then sadly sunk to the bottom of the River Torrens.

A Day out on The Great Barrier Reef

WorldWideWill — Fri, 10 Mar 2017 02:33:32 +0000

I first visited the Great Barrier Reef 13 years ago, during my very first trip to Australia. My visit was just a day trip from Cairns to Green Island, which is a small island located about 90 minutes out to sea from Cairns. It was a wonderful experience, but I have always wanted to go back and take one of the trips to the outer reef, to see more of this truly beautiful part of the world.

Munich Christmas Market

WorldWideWill — Sat, 24 Dec 2016 06:00:49 +0000

I booked my recent flights to Adelaide on Qatar Airways, which had a Munich departure because of a fantastic deal that I found online. As my flight on Qatar Airways was a mid-morning departure I chose to fly out to Munich the day before and I spent the night in an airport hotel. I thought this would be an ideal opportunity to visit the Munich Christmas Market.
