Yes the accommodation review is in again, following on sequentially on my trip to Myanmar. Nyaungshwe is the town where almost everyone, especially the backpacks, stay when visiting Inle Lake. It’s a dusty old town, but nice enough and you can get the boats that take people around the lake at Nyaungshwe which is pretty …

Thazi is not a place that tourists rush to, it’s one of those places they pass through on their way somewhere else. It sits on main highways and has a biggish train station, and it was my rest between Bagan and Inle Lake. Not that a rest stop is really needed, it was only a …

The one thing I did with my time away that seems to have captured most people’s interest is spend time with tigers in the sanctuary ‘Tiger Kingdom’, not far from Chiang Mai, so I thought it would be worth a blog post. I must admit initially I had no plans to visit it, in fact …
The next accommodation review is in, and it doesn’t quite match up to the first two places I stayed in Myanmar, but to be honest, they were pretty special. I had also pre-booked the May Khar Lar Guesthouse on Asiarooms.com I think, but I kinda knew I was in for a drop in quality. I …

For example: Come you back to Mandalay, Where the old Flotilla lay: Can't you 'ear their paddles chunkin' …
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 …
At the heart of Yangon, bustling ex-capitol of Myanmar, lies the Shwedagon Pagoda, the most significant temple in the city and the city’s biggest tourist attraction by far. When I was travelling in Myanmar I heard a variety of opinions about Yangon, and most weren’t so positive. People were choosing to skip Yangon all together …
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 …
Hi All! Welcome to a slightly different 'Foto Friday'. Yes, just the one photo again, however, I thought I'd share with you my frustration at my camera, only two years old and already a flick of mould on the lens! As you can see, it looks a bit like a stray bit of hair. I …
Sorry folks just not having the time I need to blog right at the present. Hopefully that changes over the next week or so, but I have several writing projects on the go and trying to get them done. I had Friday last week pencilled in as a day for blogging, to do a few …
