Today I’m talking about the day I left Samarkand, last year, to make my way to destination Khiva, via Bukhara across the Uzbek desert. No border crossings involved in this travel expedition, but it was a journey of around 728 kilometres and there was one key factor I think that makes these sort of journeys epic – I wasn’t 100% sure I would reach my destination by the end of the day. Let's see how it went!
Hi all. Today's photo is one I found reviewing my photos of Myanmar. This is the tourist train that goes over the Gokteik Viaduct in Myanmar. This vendor certainly lugs a lot around to sell and is taking a well earned break! Thanks for stopping by - May the Journey Never End!
The trains of the Maeklong Railway in Thailand, not too far from Bangkok, go through this market area. Tourists flock there to see it because the market is fuly set up across the train lines. When the train is nearly due, they put down their awnings and make way for the train, which has precious …

Hi there. Well it’s been ages since I’ve done a post on itineraries, so I thought I might as well look at my two experiences in Rajasthan and put together what I would recommend doing/seeing if I had a bit longer. Because it’s a large state and frankly slower travel in India is much preferable …
The final train journey in India for me this time round was the 611 kilometre, 11 hour journey from Rajasthan’s blue city Jodphur to the Indian capital, Delhi.

Howdy all from Russia. I've been on another long train journey. A very long journey - I left in the evening of Monday to get to Irutsk, near Lake Baikal, on Wednesday morning, so that's two nights and one day on the train. I boarded in Ulaan Baatar at around 8pm. The train was much …
Yes, I am now in Mongolia! Just a quick post as an update today. I left Beijing yesterday morning at 1122 on the overnight train to Ulan Bataar. Many take the train in one hit to Moscow but one night was enough for me this time. A great feeling between all on the train. Border …
Five years and one day ago I was here at Da Lat about to take the train. This couple had chosen the train at the station for the perfect spot for their wedding photos, often taken well before the wedding in Vietnam. May the Journey Never End!
Hello dear readers. I'm here at the Golden Kite Restaurant in Nyaungshwe with a few hours until I leave on my night bus to Yangon. I've had a cold for the last four or five days but slowly seem to be getting over it. Nyaungshwe is a sort of gateway town to Inle Lake, perhaps …
