Hey ho! Time for a new series of posts. My three favourite cities of a particular region. Or towns, or spots, but probably cities. South East Asia seemed to be the logical place to start. 3/ Singapore Singapore is a great city, the most sparkling spot in all of South East Asia, and a lot …
In all my travels, I’m not sure I’ve been as impressed by an historical place as much as I was with the temples at Angkor, Cambodia. It wasn’t so easy to get to back then. A slowish train from Bangkok to the border between Thailand and Cambodia, and then I took an 8 hour ride …
Today. I am standing on board a boat in Halong Bay, Vietnam. Beautiful spot! Have a wonderful weekend, May the Journey Never End!
Perhaps the one thing I really don’t look forward to when I travel is taking the bus. And when that’s an overnight journey, well, it’s a recipe for no sleep, a crick in my neck and an extended period of being uncomfortable. South America beckons later on this year, and there will definitely be a …
Ahhh beautiful Laos. Gentle Laos. Kind Laos. Of a similar size to neighbours Thailand and Vietnam, Laos has only a fraction of their populations at somewhere around 6.8 million people. This makes Laos a country with far more space per person. So it’s the perfect place to get away from the hustle and bustle of …
Welcome to another 'Faces of'. There's no doubt that the people of Vietnam are warm, kind and wonderful subjects for photos. I hope that this selection tells you a little about one of the most amazing countries I have ever travelled to... Barbers in Hoi An. And yes, I did and sure, I'd recommend him. …
Vietnam, like a few South East Asian countries, is a rather long country but not very wide. In fact it gets pretty thin in the middle, but is such a long country from Ho Chi Minh City in the South to Hanoi in the north is over 1200, and that’s not the extremities of the …
In the second part of my interview with Chris Goldby we theorise on what would be the perfect 'round the world itinerary, and look at some of the best places he's been to in his travels. We talk quite a bit about Vietnam in this podcast too! I hope you enjoy this …
Although I’m in the process of reviewing all the experiences of my very recent trip to New Zealand and Sydney, earlier in the year I had an amazing trip to Thailand and Myanmar. This Sunday, with Christmas sneaking up behind me quietly but very quickly, I thought I’d return back to Myanmar and do a …
Hello, get aboard that train again because today I’m reminiscing about a wonderful train experience in Myanmar. Today’s journey is from Thazi, in central Myanmar, to the stunning if touristy Inle Lake further east. Thazi was a sort of midpoint for me between Inle Lake and Bagan, being slightly closer to Bagan but with no …
