Our next scheduled cruise will see us hit the Mediterranean for just the second time on a ship, again with Princess, again for just a week, but all different ports.

Blog / Newsletter
The posts categorised as blogs on this site will tend to be round-ups of what else has been published because travel-writing is kept separate. If you want to keep up-to-date with all the new and rewritten visits near and far that we've done then subscribing to the RSS feed or just frequenting the home page of this site is one way to do it but the blog posts here, posted less often, will typically summarise those posts. These summarised blog posts are also sent out as newsletters when written and you can find places to subscribe to them around the site.

Spotting Cruise Ships From Cruise Ships

Angry Travelling In Time And Space
This is a travel-related website now. When I write up where we’ve been and the things we’ve seen and when I share photos of what we’ve experienced I hope to take the reader – who, is mostly just me (and that’s fine) – on a journey through time and space. Doctor Who is a travel-related TV programme. Each episode lets the producers show where the Doctor’s been and the things that have been seen and the visuals take us all on a journey through time and space. I’m saying this site is a bit like Doctor Who.

Travel Review 2018, Travel Preview 2019
One of those end-of-the-year reviews of what’s happened with regards to our travels, much of which you’d know already if you read the site more often. But I’m not blaming you for that. There are also some bits that haven’t been published yet such as our last cruise and our last European break. In addition there’s a short list of what we’ve currently got planned in 2019; the countries we’ll be visiting; the ships we’ll be cruising on.

Recent Events
Why haven’t there been any updates on this website for over a month? Well, funny you should ask but we’ve been cruising in Asia aboard Diamond Princess and since coming back we’ve been a bit down (because that’s what happens after a cruise) and we’ve been a bit snowed under with processing photos (because that’s what happens to me after a cruise) and, well, now you know.
