Okay. Well here I am ready to start reviewing the four segments of my journey from Beijing to Moscow, around 8000 kilometres away, via Mongolia. The trip to the Mongolian capital of Ulan Bataar was 1426 kilometres, crossing the border at Erlian (China) passing through Jinignan, Zhurihe and Dzamynude and other towns that perhaps I …

When I went to China at the beginning of May this year, more specifically to Beijing, it was about 95% to catch the first leg of the Trans-Mongolian train journey. However, as I was going there, I decided that I wanted to get to two of China’s great historical landmarks, the Forbidden City and the …
Hi folks. I'm on my way to the airport in Tokyo, about to fly home and conclude a six week trip that began shortly before midnight on the last day of April. It's been another incredible six weeks but tomorrow I arrive home in the morning, with a short shift at work in the afternoon. …
Well, I'm writing this on the train from Paris to Noramandy. Another whirlwind three and a half days have come to an end here in Paris. I was happy to go to Paris because I don't have any decent photos of the place. I've passed through a couple of times in 2006 and 2011 but …
Howdy from the capital of England, Great Britain and the Whoniverse. Although that might be Cardiff these days. It's Satuday evening, tomorrow morning I take the Eurostar to Paris. Again, it's been a busy week here, Cambridge and Sheffield. I was planning on a bit more of a relaxing time, but well, I've been up …
Somehow I am suddenly in the United Kingdom! Strange how you suddenly find yourself in a different country. Well not really but it's always a bizarre feeling. Just as I was getting used to Russia. I'm AirBnB-ing it in London, but today I've taken a trip north to Cambridge, which is an incredibly beautiful town …
Well, tomorrow I leave Moscow for London. It's been an incredible time since I left Beijing a little over two weeks ago. It's been another whirlwind trip, but it's still going. However, I hope to slow the pace down in London because everyday is either travel or packed with things to see and do. And …
Howdy all. Well, a whirlwind visit to a city to the east of the Ural mountains. And wind is appropriate, my goodness me it's been blowing like crazy since... well pretty much since I left China. But you really feel it when there's a bit of snow thrown in for good measure. I'm guessing it …

So, I've been here in the Siberian city of Irkutsk (bar half a day at Listvyanka), since Tuesday. Tuesday I did the bulk of my sight seeing on that day. That cold, blustery day where the mercury hovered just above freezing and I encountered quite a few flurries of snow. Today it's time for the …
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 …
