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 …
Inle Lake, Myanmar, is one of the country’s busiest tourist spots. People can take a room on or around the lake at several hundred dollars a night, but the backpackers and tourists with more limited funds will head for Nyaungshwe and get a room there. There’s a river that connects Inle Lake to Nyaungshwe and …

Yes it's another sunset. Something I rarely do - go for a portrait-orientated photo. This is the amazing 300 metre long U-Bein Bridge near Mandalay. I was really happy with the length the reflections gave.
Howdy folks! Back in Thailand in Chiang Mai as have been most of the past three days. I've been a bit struck down with a bad stomach bug since my last evening in Myanmar but finally feeling better and stronger today. For me I always get sick at some point but it's been pretty crappy. …
2007 and I visited Lithuania along with the other Baltic Countries. Perhaps nothing so amazing as the 'Hill of Crosses', a short bus journey from Šiauliai, a university town north of Vilnius. It's a hill covered in crosses, perhaps 100,000 of them dating back to the 19th century standing in memory of those who fell in …

One of the smaller countries in Europe, Luxembourg and its main city, Luxembourg, are both charming spots to visit and although …
Here's one of my favourite travel pics. In the background is Jeti-Oguz, or the 'Broken Heart', a large reddish rock that split in two and looks like a, well, broken heart. I was taking photos of it and this local family asked to be in the photo. Slightly odd, yes, but with such a hat, …
With little time this week to actually write a blog post, I thought it would be a good idea to return to 'Foto Friday'. Here is a road in Australia's top end I travelled on in 2008 when in the Northern Territory through the famous Kakadu National Park!
If I have a main regret about my time in Vietnam, it’s probably that I didn’t spend as much time on the rails as I could have. Yes, there was the toy train at Da Lat which I’ve mentioned before and deserves a ‘train journeys’ of its own one day (And I’d say will …
