Back with another review of my time in the sky in my latest jaunt off to South-East Asia. I have flown mostly on Air Asia over the last few years, they are almost always the cheapest airline around Asia and until the crash on the 28th of December last year, a safe airline to fly. …
Foto Friday featured a shot from Elmina, a small fishing town on the coast of Ghana. When I visited Elmina I did it in an afternoon from the bigger Cape Coast, a short tro-tro ride away. Tro-tros are the local transport, like a mini-van in some ways, packed to the hilt, not very comfortable but …

Continuing on from the first part of my time in Inle Lake (CLICK HERE), the day continued after the Nan Ba Market where we were taken to see the rolling of cigars. Now, when one thinks about cigars one naturally thinks of Cuba and that part of the world, so I was surprised to think …
