Happy birthday dear Melbourne…

Written by James Clark on August 30, 2010 - 2 Comments
Categories: Travel Blog

…Happy birthday to you! The 30th of August is Melbourne Day, and today Melbourne was 175 years old. – Melbourne Day Birthday Cake – Although Melbourne Day is an official day, it’s not an official holiday, so it’s not celebrated with gusto. Most people don’t know about it actually. If you were to pick a [...]

Bulgaria’s Black Sea Coast

Written by James Clark on August 11, 2010 - 9 Comments
Categories: Travel Blog

The Black sea Coast of Bulgaria has been a budget holiday favourite for decades. First with the countries behind the Iron Curtain, and now with the countries from the cold north. Along this stretch of coast is a good cross section of Europe with styling urban cities, cheapo package holiday resorts, old fishing villages and [...]

Coffee of the day: South Beach, Miami – USA

Written by James Clark on June 9, 2010 - 0 Comments
Categories: Travel Blog

As much as I love coffee my system can’t handle the bucket sized brewed coffee that is served in the USA. So I was happy to discover that there is this Cuban coffee drinking culture in Miami, where quality over quantity reigns. All over Miami you can find Cuban run places that serve espresso and [...]

CouchSurfing Review

Written by James Clark on June 8, 2010 - 4 Comments
Categories: Travel Blog

While planning my trip to the United States I discovered that hostels aren’t available in every big city, so finding budget accommodation was proving to be difficult. I had previously signed up to CouchSurfing.org but I had not used it, so it seemed like a perfect time to try it out. Finding A Couch To [...]

Coffee of the day: Gili Meno – Indonesia

Kopi Lombok on Gili Meno, Indonesia. The Gili Islands are off the coast of Lombok island so they serve Lombok coffee. The coffee is unfiltered so you get some grinds clinging to the side, but most of it settles and it is a good brew. I like the coffee naming system in Indonesia. So far [...]

Coffee of the day: Luang Prabang – Laos

Written by James Clark on February 20, 2010 - 2 Comments
Categories: Travel Blog

It didn’t occur to me before I arrived that Laos has great coffee. You don’t really see it marketed well outside of Laos. It’s quite common to see the Sumatran or even Sulawesi blend at a Starbucks, but Lao blend, I don’t recall. Anyway the coffee here is great. Local beans brewed in a coffee [...]

The Federal Association Of Globe Trotters

Written by James Clark on November 6, 2009 - 2 Comments
Categories: Travel Blog

I found a cafe in Belgrade that has perhaps the best name in the history of cafes: The Federal Association Of Globe Trotters. I had read about the cafe and I went purely for the alluring name. I otherwise never would have found this place on my wanders. It is downstairs in a basement and [...]

5 Amsterdam coffee shops that aren’t “coffeeshops”

Written by James Clark on October 15, 2009 - 4 Comments
Categories: Travel Blog

Amsterdam is world famous for its coffee shops, but as a non-smoker I have no interest in these “coffee shops”. The Netherlands doesn’t rate high in the coffee making stakes in Europe. The typical coffee of the Netherlands is filter coffee. Coffee shops that aren’t coffee shops in a land of filter coffee may sound [...]

Coffee of the day: Amsterdam – Netherlands

Written by James Clark on October 14, 2009 - 1 Comment
Categories: Travel Blog

As much as I love sitting in European cafes watching the world go by, I do miss the ritual of reading the newspaper with my coffee. I have found a regular cafe in Amsterdam that has great coffee and a selection of daily newspapers in different languages. In English they have the International Herald Tribune [...]

Coffee of the Day: Schiedam – Netherlands

Written by James Clark on October 8, 2009 - 0 Comments
Categories: Travel Blog

Next door to modern Rotterdam is Schiedam, a picture postcard version of Holland. Schiedam is a separate city to Rotterdam, though it is practically a suburb and is part of the Rotterdam metro system. In Schiedam you will find everything you thought a Holland town should have: windmills, canals, old world homes and warehouses, and [...]
