Hi all, well I have just booked the last flight for my trip this week. Not the one that takes me home, but one from Seville to Lisbon. I’m taking Ryan Air. I’ve taken their most expensive fare which starts at 78 Euro but keeps going up and up as you book. I also learnt …

On 3 Oct 20192 Oct 2019 By Andy RoamsIn travel, travel photography, travel stories5 Comments

Myanmar has plenty of things to see and do and visit, and one that I had the pleasure of visiting when I was there back four years now, was the U-Bein Bridge. It is or at least was the longest teak wood bridge in the world – something that I guess wasn’t particularly amazing to …
