Howdy all fron Russia! Today I had the chance to take a day trip to Lake Baikal. I'm stay in the city of Irkutsk, which is 63km from the town of Listvyanka, so I hopped on a mini-bus today and made my way down to see the world's largest inland lake, which holds something like …
Howdy all from Russia. I've been on another long train journey. A very long journey - I left in the evening of Monday to get to Irutsk, near Lake Baikal, on Wednesday morning, so that's two nights and one day on the train. I boarded in Ulaan Baatar at around 8pm. The train was much …
So I've had a couple of nights back here in Ulaan Baatar. Tonight it's a train over two nights and one day to the Russian city of Irkutsk on or near Lake Baikal. Ulaan Baatar is not an unattractive city. It has its Soviet influence, and right now it's kinda brown waiting for the leaves …

You know I concentrate the bulk of my city rumbles on well-known places, but I thought it was time to write a bit more about Central Asia so I hit upon the plan to pit the capital of Kyrgyzstan against the capital of its neighbour, Uzbekistan. Bishkek is the pleasant, leafy capital of Kyrgyzstan, a …
Yes! The panoramas are back! But I'm not sure how many, if any, I have after this one. Today I look at the ones I snapped in Arequipa, in Peru and around. I took a trip through the mountains to the Culco Canyon as well from Arequipa, although I didn't take a lot of panoramas. …
