This lady was not supposed to be in 'upper class', but when the ticket inspectors came along she yelled and shouted and made so much fuss they let her stay. Carriage wasn't even half full anyway. She had a dozen bags. I took several of these shots, all blurry, yet for some reason I really …
As dedicated readers to this blog (all three of you! ;)) should be aware, I am a bit of a fan of the ol’ train ride, so I thought I’d do a bit of a summary of my time on the trains whilst I was in Myanmar over February and March. So, I only took …
So it seems my time in Myanmar is almost up. Boy it has gone quickly! It seems only yesterday that I was boarding my flight to Mandalay and tomorrow I am going to be taking a flight back to Bangkok where I will be joined by my wife and then we will have five days …
Hello dear readers. I'm here at the Golden Kite Restaurant in Nyaungshwe with a few hours until I leave on my night bus to Yangon. I've had a cold for the last four or five days but slowly seem to be getting over it. Nyaungshwe is a sort of gateway town to Inle Lake, perhaps …
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 …

Ahhh Prague – How I remember thee in 1999! It really was an awesome 5 days, even if I can’t remember all of it or even half of it! I took an overnight train from Amsterdam to Dresden. I was very happy that I paid an extra 40 bucks or so to upgrade to a …

Yes, finally I can announce that a new adventure is on the cards come February next year work commitments permitting – I should be flying off for three and a half weeks in South East Asia. To actually be thinking about travel again in the future tense rather than the past tense is awesome. The …
