Feb 26 Celebrating 60 with a Planepacker

Pack light style

We celebrated Mr PetMan's 60th birthday in New Zealand. I sketched the occasion and our adventures.

We sailed by ferry from North to South Island.

Testing the kokis

It seemed a shame to waste these colours so I turned them into a kite.

It's a hard life being on holiday

I’m going to Belgrade and Montenegro

This time last year. Travelling light to Tivat.

Greenmarket Square in Cape Town. Eerily empty. Last seen like this perhaps in 1970. Normally a bustling marketplace.

Flags of so many countries. Looking forward to getting there one day.

Travel nostalgia. Suitcase memories. Who else agree old luggage is so evocative? These cases left Belgrade in the mid-fifties. What’s their story.

Tommy Motswai. Copping a speeding fine. This pastel crayon 🖍 painting is full of humour and South African colour. Travelling the world from my study.

The art of travel. See you next time Zeitz MOCAA in Cape Town.

Kotor. The freedom of travel.

The Tram Traveller. Still sketching. Celebrating one year travelling on Canberra Metro @canberrametro and thanks ABC Canberra @abccanberra for being there for us all.

Travelling back in time (as we can’t travel elsewhere in the Time of Corona) to 1972. Who doesn’t love an open-top car, especially a stylish MG? Jeffrey Kaimowitz cruising in Cape Town.

The best beach coffee experience. After sea kayaking to a remote Coromandel beach, our guide laid out this spread, which he’d carried across the waters. Photo from a few years ago, but the experience is unforgettable.
