It’s been a while since I did a ‘Travel Itineraries’ post, so I thought it was time I looked at some of my itineraries in various places that I’ve been again. And for no particular reason, I decided to start with Bolivia today. Bolivia is a land-locked country in South America, and one that’s mostly …
I’ve wanted to do this for a while. Okay, you can’t really call either of these a city… although they are cities of sorts. So the question is – which one is better, right? Well before I make any calls, I need to consider what we can measure in the two theme parks. Food – …

Howdy all. Another selection of photos for you, basically a selection of photos of my trek in Ethiopia's Simien Mountains. We began in Debark, took a minibus to Sanakabar Camp at the start of the first day, loaded up donkeys there and began the trek. We averaged around 20km a day, staying at three camps. …

Hello and welcome to another 'Sunday Spotlight'! This time I go back to June this year, so not far back at all really! To France, to Normandy, to a small city with a past tied up with perhaps France's most revered woman - Joan D'Arc. If you want to learn about Joan of Arc, well …
Howdy all! Hope you're week has started well. Today I bring you a video I shot in Senegal when I was there nearly 10 years ago now! I visit the capital Dakar, Isle de Goree and Saint Louis. Enjoy! Thanks for visiting - May the Journey Never End!
Hi all. Today's video takes me back to 2009 and the time I visited one of the Middle East's most accessible and certainly rewarding countries - Jordan. I visited Amman, Aquaba, Petra and Wadi Rum in around two weeks there, and I hope this video whets your appetite for a country that is extremely rewarding …
It seems odd that I’ve never done a post specifically on the Shinkansen before. One reason is that I didn’t have ANY pictures despite having used the Shinkansen many times since first visiting Japan in 2011. So today’s Train Journeys is going to look at this Japanese marvel of modern technology getting you from A …
Welcome to a new week! Today's video is one I compiled from my time in Vietnam, 2011. Wonderful wonderful warm country! I visited Ho Chi Minh City, Da Lat, Nha Trang, Hoi An, Hue, Hanoi and Halong Bay, and here's a pretty long (18 minute) video with the highlights! I hope you enjoy! Thanks for …
My final journey which completed my trip from Beijing to Moscow began early morning in Ekanterinburg. Luckily my hotel was just opposite the train station, and I was there around 7am in the morning, an hour before the train left. In all cases I was advised to get to the station an hour before the …

After three days in Irkutsk it was mid-afternoon and I was back on the rails again headed roughly due west towards the city of Ekanterinburg, the city which saw the demise of the last Tzar of Russia, Nicholas the Second. Again, it was realrussia.co.uk through which I got my ticket for this train. 180 pounds …
