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

Well folks, the trip has but a few days to run now, I’m here in Galle in Sri Lanka’s south. Here is the latest from my last couple of days. Tuesday, 3rd of April Today we said goodbye to the generous family we’d been staying with near Colombo. Just how generous? Well, the father said he would drive us all

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

Hi folks, continuing on in my journal/diary style blogging from my India/Sri Lanka tri, here’s the lowdown from the last few days. Sunday 18th of March Dawn arrived in Jaisalmer. I didn’t leave the hotel in the morning really except to have breakfast and lunch at the vegetarian restaurant next door. I had gone to bed at around 230am and

I’m headed back to Sri Lanka in March, so time for a little, gentle reminiscing about my first town in the country. I didn’t fly in I should point out, I flew into the Negombo Airport which services Colombo, however the guesthouse I was staying organised a taxi for my wife and I all the way to Kandy straight off

Istanbul is a seriously impressive city. I don’t know if, considering the troubles the country is having right now, it’s getting its usual flow of tourists – I suspect it is not. But for me it was my first taste of Turkey before heading south. Which is a little odd in a way considering I was coming from Iran, a

Happy Sunday to you all. Is that a thing? ‘Happy Sunday’? Well, it can be now! Shanghai… staying in North Asia for this week’s city of choice, is a mega-tropolis of which you can find quite of a few of these days in China. However, you may not find one quite as ‘modern’ and shiny as Shanghai. When large cities

Happy ‘Hump-Day’ to all. Today’s photographic presentation takes us to Malaysia. Now, I will be the first to admit that many of these photos are not particularly amazing, but Malaysia was the first time I started using a digital camera. An old Canon, can’t remember the exact model, but it took photos in an amazing 3 mega-pixels! I know, right?

Have you ever been to a place and you never quite felt settled? I’m talking in travelling terms here – where you spent your few days there somewhat unsure about the place and the people you met? And the experiences you had? Well, that was how I felt in the Pakistani city of Peshawar. Now it was a while ago,

In the south of China, a 90 minute bus ride from the city of Guilin, is the beautiful town of Yangshuo. I visited back in 2011 (which honestly feels like last year to me!) and I loved it. It’s a large town but not a city (certainly not by Chinese standards) that sits on the Li River. To say it’s
