Hi folks. Looks like this week we're heading to Bosnia-Hercegovina. On the blog that is! It's been 14 years since I made my way from the south - crossing from Dubrovnik - to the northwest out to Zagreb, stopping at Mostar and the capital, Sarajevo. And let me just say - the capital is an …
Ahhh yes I know, if you’ve been following this blog this year you’ll already know I loved Nuwara Eliya. The idyllic little Hill Country town in the mountains with rolling hills of green, a lake, and curious old world charm. You might even find yourself near a crackling fire in the evening, something that’s rare …
Howdy all. One of the most ‘fabled’ cities on the old Silk Road is without a doubt Uzbekistan’s Samarkand. It has a number of sites worth seeing, and a great place to experience Islamic Architecture. It’s a beautiful city, with wide roads and then miles of little backstreets in the old parts. When I visited …

Today I've decided to go back through my photos to 2004 and my journey to the Czech Republic.

The city walls encase the 'old and new town', whilst outside it there are more tall apartment buildings than one can count. It's the city you jump off from to see the Army of the Terracotta …
As readers should know, I loved Jodhpur when I visited a few months back now, in fact it became my favourite city in Rajasthan. It sits slightly below and to the side of the incredible Mehrangarh Fort which watches over the whole city of Jodhpur. In fact, it’s only a very short walk from the …
Hi all. Today's look through my lens takes me back a couple of years to Chiang Mai in Thailand. A bit of a tourist Mecca with a famous night market and more temples than your average South East Asian city, for some reason I found that there was a bit of a yellowish tinge to …
