Spain 2017: Valencia

We only had a brief stop in this beautiful medieval town, 24KM from Geneva, but it certainly left an impression.

The Terracotta Army Museum in Xi'an is home to one of the wolds greatest archaeological discoveries.

First trip away in a long, long time. A couple of days in London and a photowalk in some inclement weather along the Thames.

Another of those places where it felt surreal to walk the pathways of a place I'd seen in everything from Asterix graphic novels as a kid, to movies via many history books. Every footstep, a connection to the past. I visited on a bright but changeable February morning and the queues were still deep. I cannot imagine how busy it must be at the height of summer.

The Formula 1 Exhibition at the eXcel Area in London as seen in December 2024.

Some days it just all goes wrong. This was one of them. I'd been working in Chennai on a secondment and was coming to the end of my time there, where I'd have a couple of weeks to myself. This was the first place I visited, and promptly began feeling sick about 10 minutes after arriving. It was a scorching day, and I'd arrived with the sun at it's highest. I dragged myself around the complex for a single lap stopping as many times to throw up as I did to take a photo, before collapsing into the rear seat of the hotel car for the long ride home.
