Folks I'm writing from Nyaung U, in the area of Bagan, where you'll find thousands and thousands of temples, most dating from the time of around the twelfth century. It's a truly awesome sight let me tell you, and despite niw having seen a billion and one temples in the last week I have still …
Yes folks back again for another blog. I have had a pretty packed three days in Mandalay I have to say I am pretty tired. My first day I toured the city independently and I walked the soles nearly off my feet! Mandalay is not a compact city and if I had my time again …
Greetings from Mandalay! Well it's been a great three days since I last posted and as you can imagine a lot has happened since then. I'm in Myanmar now for starters. And I have to say I love it so far. I've found the people warm and friendly and apart from the accommodation everything is …
Well good evening folks as at least it is as I write this. WordPress is delaying my posts by four hours for some reason now that I'm posting on my tablet. What a whirlwind two days I have had in Bangkok and tomorrow morning I fly out to Mandalay in Myanmar. Then I have to …

2007 and I visited Lithuania along with the other Baltic Countries. Perhaps nothing so amazing as the 'Hill of Crosses', a short bus journey from Šiauliai, a university town north of Vilnius. It's a hill covered in crosses, perhaps 100,000 of them dating back to the 19th century standing in memory of those who fell in …
And so it was that I left London via Stockholm to go to a little island out in the middle of Atlantic Ocean known as ‘Iceland’. And what a strange, confronting and challenging 2 weeks it would turn out to be. What can I say about this country? It’s well, not over-endowed with trees. That’s …
Today’s spotlight, well, there’s only so much I can tell you in words about this place. Stary Smokevic is a little mountain town in Slovakia, not far from the Polish border in the Tatra mountains. It’s really a beautiful little spot. I first learnt about it in 2004 when I entered Europe via Bulgaria in …
