Ecuador has recently got a number of trains up and running, and polished up the service on some of the others like the ‘Nariz del Diablo’ – The Nose of the Devil. This is a good thing. Probably. Well I prefer train journeys that are proper journeys instead of a short tourist ride to be …
There are a few ways to get from Cusco to Machu Picchu. If you’ve a mind to it, many like to brave the trek over the mountains, the Inca Trail – there are several versions of it. There is apparently some back way in via road but you have to go a long way out …
Howdy all. I have just arrived in the southern Ecuadorian city of Cuenca. I'm moving fast at the moment, frankly a little too fast but this is what happens when you have dates lockedd in further down the track (Macchu Picchu soecifically).

The final ‘Train Journeys’ from Myanmar. Sorry, meant to have this up months ago but the long queue of things I needed to edit just didn’t allow me time to do the video until this week! So, it was more than a year ago now that I took this trip – seems rather strange …
Five years and one day ago I was here at Da Lat about to take the train. This couple had chosen the train at the station for the perfect spot for their wedding photos, often taken well before the wedding in Vietnam. May the Journey Never End!
Yes, back again on Thursday with the conclusion to my Australia itinerary. Last week I detailed what I thought would be a good east coast jaunt from Cairns down to Melbourne. Take a bus or a plane – domestic air travel is as cheap as it’s ever been in Australia right now (look to Tiger …
Well, despite economic issues that are sending rumbles through the world in the first month of 2016, it is probably the best time ever to visit the amazing country of China.
