Olympic Park was a short stroll from Lotte Tower and my hotel, so a wander it was. Back to the hotel then on to Seokchon Lake again. Crowds were gone, but was absolutely freezing, so back to the hotel and off to bed

I was staying a 5 minute walk from Lotte Tower, and being a sucker for an elevated view of a city, away I went. First a quick stroll along Seokchon Lake, and a first sighting of cherry blossoms. I didn’t last very long amongst the crowds and ducked off a side path into Lotte Tower, where I...

I only had a 20km or so ride to my hotel in the Jamsil district. This was one of the toughest 20k’s of the whole trip, it being Sunday afternoon and the path going through a continuous river park. It was a real life game of frogger, anything from toddlers learning how to ride, to Olympic...

After a delayed flight and a late arrival, I was able to get about 5 hours sleep in at a Best Western close to the airport. Took the hotel shuttle bus back to the airport and my first bibimbap of the trip. Then to the airport rail, not the express as I had to get off in the Mapo area to pick...

5 days of riding, it’s been hot, cold, windy, sunny, cloudy and rainy. More cherry blossoms as I head south. My favourite shot so far.

Arrived just after 2 in the morning, all pretty smooth to get out of the airport and a nearby hotel. About to head back to the airport then train to Seoul and pick up my bike.

Left Perth an hour late but made up time to be in Sydney only half an hour behind scheduled time. Soon as the seatbelt sign went off, I was out to it, and woke up about 5 minutes before start of descent was announced. Scheduled to depart Sydney at 11.40, delayed 2 hours due to plane arriving...

Off to have another crack at the South Korea cross-country bike path, which I failed at last June/July. Giving myself a bit more leeway time wise, and being a bit more familiar with the traps involved with following the right bike path, I'm backing myself in. Planning to add in the 70km spur of...

Up and out at about 6.30 down to the port area hoping something would be open so I could grab a coffee. No luck, but was a pleasant walk Sveti Vlaho, first vessel of the Armed Boats Squadron of Dubrovnik, sunk in 1991 during the War of Independence, raised and now on permanent display...

Had a really ordinary squid dish from a restaurant just outside the walls, then made my way back towards my accommodation. Walked a bit past my unit down to Dubrovnik Port where sat for a while as the sun went down. Very relaxing.

Entered the Old Town through the Pile Gate Intention was to walk the walls, however entry closed in about 15 minutes, so an activity for the next day. 35 euro to do the walk was a bit steep I thought. Wandered

The bus has 3 designated drop-offs, the first quite close to Ploce Gate Only 5 minutes or so from there to my, and the bus's final destination, Dubrovnik Bus Station. I had just over an hour before I was due at my apartment, so plenty of time for leisurely stroll and some lunch Lunch...

Dubrovnik came into view Safe touchdown, only 1 other plane here. On the plane I was pondering why there was no immigration to go through. Finally realised the benefits of the EU. First time I had travelled by plane between European countries. My ride. No immigration to go through, however...

Early, but quick, train ride to the airport. German style breakfast Flight to Dubrovnik was on a Eurowings A320, booked through Lufthansa. Remote stand, so bus and a bit of an airport tour out to the plane. A380 on the move After about 45 minutes the Dalmation Coast came into view.

Dinner was a pork knuckle from a beer house adjacent to the Hofbrauhaus. Afterwards bit more of a walk before heading back to the hotel and to sleep.

train station underpass entrance directly under the clock, headed back on to the S-Bahn into Munich proper I hadn't returned to Munich, or Europe for that matter since 2000. Much different circumstances back then, was in Munich for Oktoberfest and stayed in Thalkirchen campground. Out of...

Hotel, right next to the train station Into the entrance, which was an entrance into the restaurant. Guided by an older lady speaking to me in German through the restaurant to the check-in desk. Unlike the customs agent, who was very talkative and engaging, the lady at the front desk was all...

On the tarmac Suburbs of Dubai I fell asleep not long after, but not too long after I was woken up by one of the crew asking if I wanted breakfast. That was a no and more than a bit annoying. Unable to get back to sleep browsed the entertainment system and to my delight discovered the...
