Marrakesh Please

andyfied — Wed, 31 Mar 2010 21:38:49 +0000

I’m not going to go into great detail about how I tore a ligament in my ankle. This website is for travel editorials, not general discussions about my life. Suffice to say it was a sports injury (12 hour drinking marathon) and happened one week before my weekend trip in Marrakesh with the [...]

Bed Weters in The Netherlands

Irregular Guest Author — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 21:43:52 +0000

Every day life in the Netherlands has brought me many more a giggle over the past year than I had initially expected, and this was, and still is my number one! Every country suffers from badly translates signs, poorly marketing gimmicks and naturally a different way of addressing their culture, but this surely [...]

Xi’an’anigens in the snow.

Drum tower in the snow

We mainly went to see the terracotta warriors but mostly saw a lot of snow. We booked a warrior ‘tour’ with a guide and yes, that’s not gonzo but it included the transport there and a visit to another site as well. The guide was called Michael [...]

Fizzy Ale?

Z-Man — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 12:53:45 +0000

Whilst on an eight day tour of New Zealand’s South Island, one of the first activities planned was the journey from Christchurch, on the east coast to a town called Greymouth on the west coast. This involved an amazingly scenic ride through the ‘Southern Alps’ on a fairly rickety train. The views [...]

Total Hotel Review: IBIS in Central Amsterdam

Corridor from lift towards my room

This is just a quick one, just wanted to point out the lunacy that is the IBIS, billed as being near Amsterdam Central station. I needed a place to stay for one evening in Amsterdam in order to make a connecting flight to South America. I was meeting [...]

Munich Loves You. And Football. And Bells.

andyfied — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 11:26:43 +0000

This is just a quick post about a two day trip to Munich. It’s a nice city and if I don’t write this today, there will be no articles for August 2009.

The Worst Hostel in the World – Little Fir – Harbin

Captain Oats — Sat, 11 Jul 2009 06:49:31 +0000

Maybe not the WORST, we haven’t been to them all – that would be retarded/unfeasible but this one is pretty shit, as well as being indisputable PROOF that monopolies are EVIL, as it’s the only hostel in Harbin – Northern China. So the ‘good’ news is that if you’re planning to go there [...]

Guangzhou Tourism

andyfied — Sun, 21 Jun 2009 21:20:03 +0000

Some visitors to this site are using the search terms “gonzo china” because they don’t know how to spell “Guangzhou”. This isn’t a problem for us, as we at Gonzo Tourism are happy to get any links we can, but I think I should give the people what they want. So, due to [...]

If you missed part one you can read it here – Spain and the Sea | Part One

…and now to the heart of the thing dear friends.

Ah yes, culture. Finding culture in a place like this is hard let me tell you. The closest we got was [...]

Spain and the Sea | Part One

Baron AzA — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 22:02:18 +0000

There are many things in this world that scare me, even terrify me to tears, and let me tell you the wonders dear reader of the Spanish coast. Somewhere between Torremolinos and Banalmadena sandwiched between the cruel salty sea and the dusty red mountains lays the real Wild West. These are frontier towns where [...]
