Finish the Sentence: Czech Republic

« Return to Finish the Sentence    « Return to Czech Republic

To speak Czech, pull out your tongue, tie it in a knot, wobble it from side to side, and sing something in falsetto. Maybe not. It’s a whirlwind tour during high season, and here are the kind folk I met along the way. Country codes for foreigners.

  • Shamans and Guinea Pigs in Ecuador

    It’s folly to spend just one week in a country as diverse as Ecuador, but what the hell! Shamans and guinea pigs, iguanas, bus parties, 300-year old haciendas, volcanic craters - I don’t get to the Galapagos, but between Otavalo, Quito and Gauyaquil, there’s plenty to keep me busy.

  • Science Fiction in Star City

    Returning to Russia, I get an exclusive glimpse into the reality of modern space travel, visiting the Cosmonaut Training Centre in Star City, poking my head into real life rocket shipx.

Or the extreme gonzo action of canyon swinging, bungy jumping and skydiving in Queenstown? From mansions to car eating parrots, join me on a road trip on the South Island, where we always aim for possums.
