It seems odd that I’ve never done a post specifically on the Shinkansen before. One reason is that I didn’t have ANY pictures despite having used the Shinkansen many times since first visiting Japan in 2011. So today’s Train Journeys is going to look at this Japanese marvel of modern technology getting you from A …
Happy Sunday. Here are some panoramas from Paris and Rouen, in France! Including a very different 'top to bottom' one in the Louvre! Too tired to write more today.... Thanks for stopping by, May the Journey Never End!
Howdy folks. How's your week going? Here's a select bunch of photos from Paris I thought might brighten you day! Thanks for stopping by - May the Journey Never End!
Howdy all. Not so many shots this week, I didn't take a lot of panoramas in the UK. Two taken in Cambridge and the others all in London! Thanks for stopping by! Thanks for stopping by - May the Journey Never End!
After a couple of hostels and a yurt, I found myself in the rather wonderful business hotel 'Marins Park Hotel' in Ekanterinburg. Okay, it wasn't the most amazing stay I've ever had, but it ticked all the main boxes and I left feeling pretty satisfied with my stay and choice. I had a basic double …

After three days in Irkutsk it was mid-afternoon and I was back on the rails again headed roughly due west towards the city of Ekanterinburg, the city which saw the demise of the last Tzar of Russia, Nicholas the Second. Again, it was realrussia.co.uk through which I got my ticket for this train. 180 pounds …

After four days in Ulaan Baatar and Terelj, it was very quickly on again by rail travelling a further 1114km to the Siberian city of Irkutsk, not far from Lake Baikal (around 60km). This, it turns out, was the shortest journey of the four legs of my Trans-Mongolian as far as distance covered. However, it …

Although I had only four days limited to Ulaan Baatar and a tour that took me to Terelj and the giant statue of Genghis Khan which you can get inside, I still managed to snap quite a few. Ulaan Baatar is a …
