Down the south of Jordan in the Middle East is a very special desert called Wadi Rum. I don’t write much about Jordan, probably because my memories are not so strong from my time there and my diaries are all gone, but it really was a great country to visit for a couple of weeks. …
‘Twas a long time ago now, on an island far far away, that I journeyed from the capital of Iceland, Reykjavik, northwards to the top of the land and a little town called Akureyri. Which is honestly quite difficult to spell. Iceland had been an interesting place to visit in 1999, although I did not …
In my life I’ve been in or through Paris a number of times. I have to be honest with you, it’s not a city I’ve ever really gotten to know – hopefully next year I’ll get the chance to really explore the city. My memories go back as far as 1986 when I was just …

There are dozens upon dozens of epic rail journeys in India. I brought you the one from Mumbai to Goa a while ago now. That one, however, I did in 2AC class, just about the best class you can take on Indian Railways. For this overnight journey on the rails, however, I stuck to my …
Today I return to last Wednesday topic of the deadly and feared ‘night bus journey’. Honestly, I’d really rather not but sometimes you have to take one.
