Andy's Journeys to 78 countries & counting!
My first stop of my latest journey was an overnight one in Kuala Lumpur. Not really enough time to get into the city, I decided I’d stay at a hotel at or near the airport. Usually, a hotel like Sama-Sama would not be on my radar. I just went to Agoda which was offering 38% off and it was still

Ahhh the Indian Train Journey! I am genuinely excited that I can properly recount a few journeys in India now. I took a number, all in relative comfort I should say, in my twelve days in India. This was the first major journey, nearly twelve hours across Rajasthan from the main Rajasthani city in Jaipur to the desert city of

One of the towns famous in Rajasthan, and let’s face it, there are many, is Pushkar. It’s a curious place, I visited it back in 1999 and again last month when I was back in India for the first time in fourteen years. And I’m not going to a whole article on the pros and cons, but sure, I would

I woke in Kandy, I had a really nice hotel room there which was pretty good value for money. But it was only an overnight stop. I took a few photos in the morning before I left, including of the beautiful lake. I had a train to take to the station Verangoda, on the way to Colombo. There I met

The next instalment! The continuing stoooory of a pig who’s gone to the dogs… 28th of March 2018 Developed a bit of a man flu. Actually it’s been pretty bad. Still I felt that I should press on because I was all the way out in Sri Lankan hill country and I should see something. Right? After a day of

23rd March 2018 So, the long journey into Delhi from Jodphur arrived on time. Delhi, my arch nemesis, a place that had knocked me over more than once. And here I was again. I arrived at Sarai Rohilla, not the main and usual station in Delhi, and had to negotiate an auto-rickshaw to the Paraganj, the main tourist area in

The journaling continues, the last three days I have been in Jodphur, known as India ‘Blue City’. Many houses and buildings are painted blue, and there is an effect when you see it from the rocky hills that surround Jodphur, but what puts Jodphur right on the map is the fort to end all forts.
