Lunch at a great little diner was followed by the first teaching sessions at a couple of locations right next to each other. The first was a classic car showroom where I realised that I absolutely love old American cars! The turquoise and white combination in this is just gorgeous, and the addition of our lovely model Claire in […]

A quick hop from LAX to Las Vegas and I met up with hubby Damien at our hotel where we were staying for two nights before starting our road trip. As this trip was to be a teaching workshop he wanted that time to adjust to the time difference before meeting the 12 photographers who would be with us for […]
The wedding in Vancouver was at a perfect time, as I’d planned to accompany Damien on a road trip starting in Las Vegas two and a half weeks later. I took advantage of being on the west coast of Canada to fly down to Los Angeles to spend the middle 4 days with another friend whom I’d met through whilst […]
After a great break on Vancouver island it was time to get back to the city. Dani and I had another beautiful apartment in a slightly different location, but still in downtown Vancouver and within easy reach of plenty of places to eat and drink. One day we went for a hike on some beautiful trails the other side of […]
As we had two weeks in Vancouver Meghan had recommended that we go to Vancouver Island for a few days, and was able to take some time off work and go with us. Actually, in reality that meant ‘take us’, because we were headed quite some distance away and wouldn’t have been able to go without her for which we […]
My trip to Vancouver happened all because I went volunteering in Zambia in 2013. 7 people met at Livingstone airport and 5 of us had travelled on our own, so it was introductions all round. Two of us were from England, two from Canada, two from Germany, and one from Holland, with only the Canadian girls knowing each other. […]
Etosha was the most northerly stop on our trip before returning back down to Windhoek. I had pre-booked two early morning drives, and we had a great guide for both. On the first one we had a happy and informative guy, who immediately ‘got’ what we wanted to do (take the best possible photographs) and knew how to move the […]
A different landscape again became apparent as we approached Spitzkoppe. If you have been to Disneyland and seen the ‘boulders’ they have there on rides such as Thunder Mountain, I’ve now seen the real thing! Our lodge was brand new this year and consisted of individual semi-permanent buildings set amongst the boulders. Decorated absolutely beautifully, everything there was impressive and […]
A long drive but through ever changing scenery and a stop to eat the ‘best apple pie in Namibia’. The roads were gravel, bumpy, deeply rutted, winding, and with so many dips it was like being on a roller coaster in parts. On these roads we always leave massive swirls of dust clouds in our wake and if another car […]
A journey of about 4.5 hours to another tented lodge via another gravel road that stretched on as far as the eye could see. By now we were getting used to the fact that there are hardly any cars on the roads in Namibia! On the way we drove past a young boy seemingly in the middle of nowhere and […]
