Apologies folks. Back into the swing of work and also doing heaps of writing for other projects has not given me the chance to blog this week. Hopefully this weekend I'll get out my Jetstar review. Here is a photo of a fisherman posing on Inle Lake, Myanmar. Sure, he does it for tips, but …
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. …
Folks I'm writing from Nyaung U, in the area of Bagan, where you'll find thousands and thousands of temples, most dating from the time of around the twelfth century. It's a truly awesome sight let me tell you, and despite niw having seen a billion and one temples in the last week I have still …
Greetings from Mandalay! Well it's been a great three days since I last posted and as you can imagine a lot has happened since then. I'm in Myanmar now for starters. And I have to say I love it so far. I've found the people warm and friendly and apart from the accommodation everything is …

One thing I remember strongly from my time in the amazing village of Jikanjuri in Georgia, 2011, was this power relay box where the entire village's power came through. It, not surprisingly perhaps, would 'blow' regularly and the whole town would be without electricty. The worst example was in November 2011 when it was freezing, …
I read a blog earlier this week talking about places that weren’t well known but really worth visiting, and Lyon was amongst them. Which sort of surprised me because I thought it was well-known. I loved Lyon. It’s really a glorious city and despite being there in 40 degree heat during August 2011. I can’t …
One of the most amazing cities in Iran, Yazd features mud-brick buildings aplenty and is a wonderful place to explore.
Hi everyone! In the new year I am searching for some new ideas for posts, and this is one I’ve come up with ‘Value Destinations’ – that’s places that I reckon represent a decent bang for your buck. Some places can be quite frustrating because money disappears at a rate if knots, your accommodation is …
