Travel, Technology, Thoughts
Following almost a week in the UK it was time to move onto Continental Europe, with the first stop being Berlin.
The next leg of my journey was to catch the Flying Scotsman train from London’s King Cross station to Edinburgh’s Waverley station. The modern day version of the Flying Scotsman is very comfortable and had onboard WIFI the entire way – useless for anyone who gets bored looking out the window (I’m not one to get bored looking out windows).
I spent two and a half days in London catching up a kiwi friend and co-incidentally my Godparents whom happened to also be visiting at the same time.
In late 2018 I travelled to Europe to attend a friend’s wedding in Germany. During the trip I also visited the UK and Portugal.
Usually I travel to Europe on Etihad, but for this trip I went with Emirates as I was travelling on part of the trip with other friends as well.
In Mid-2018 I did a weekend trip to New Zealand, in this slideshow are a few of the shots from an overnight trip form Auckland.
In late 2017 I flew to San Francisco for a very short work trip. I then had one day spare where I headed out with a friend to Muir Woods and the Marin Headlands.
Below are a few photos and videos from the trip.
In November 2017, I travelled to Singapore for an series of academic conferences. Almost two years later, I’ve edited some of the photos from the trip.
In late winter 2017 I travelled to the Far North of New Zealand. Over two days I took the long route back to Auckland.
The photo gallery below shows the highlight of the trip.
The final weekend of my trip was spent visiting a friend who lives in the cowboy town of Calgary. During the weekend we headed off to Canmore at the base of the Rocky Mountains and did some hiking in the mountains immediately behind Canmore and then up to Big Beehive and on to The Plain of Six Glaciers Tea House at Lake Louise.
