In 1996 I finally realised that there was more to life than work - so I decided it was time to go off and see some of the world whilst it - and I - was still in one piece...

The following pages contain a pictorial diary of my trip. I've tried to keep the words to a minimum. I've included links to some of the better tours I undertook.

Please navigate by using the left hand frame - hover the mouse for details of where you'll go to. To return to this Home Page click the Spinning Globe to go "Home James..."

The pictures can all be expanded by clicking on them... so you'll be able to get a better view of me... Hover the mouse for a full description of each picture. Beware - each will open a new Browser window.

And who knows... you may even recognise yourself in there. If you do then please feel free to contact me. Just click on that handsome brute in the top-right hand corner to send me an e-mail.

And now... on with the tour... Chronologically it begins in January 1996 in the land of Oz... ENJOY!!"

UPDATE:- Two new pages now available. Pyrenees Walking Holiday (Alto Aragon) and weekend at High Grassings. See links to the left...
