Finish the Sentence: Jordan

« Return to Finish the Sentence    « Return to Jordan

A wonderfully warm country full of of wonderfully warm people. I spent a week exploring Amman, the desert landscapes of Wadi Rum, the Dead Sea and the ruins made famous by Indiana Jones, Petra. Here are some of the people I met during my week long stay during the filming of Word Travels.

$%#&*! I REGRET: Not backing up my photos before Photoshop screwed up and resized all these pictures to the wrong spec and now they’re tiny. I also regret working on a PC instead of a Mac. And I further regret that all these folks below had to be the first image disaster in 41 countries and 2 and half years of travel. I also regret the baby screaming it’s head off in the row in front of me. See, plenty of regrets.

  • 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. From the Moscow Metro to the streets of St Petersburg, the Great Bear presents it challenges, but there is truly nowhere else on earth quite like it.

  • Sweet As the South Island

    Sweet As. It’s Kiwi slang, and I return to the South Island to find out what it means. Is it the wine, food, and dolphins in Marlborough? 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.
