Yes it’s panorama time again! Mongolia certainly provided plenty of opportunities for panoramas. 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 …
Okay. Well here I am ready to start reviewing the four segments of my journey from Beijing to Moscow, around 8000 kilometres away, via Mongolia. The trip to the Mongolian capital of Ulan Bataar was 1426 kilometres, crossing the border at Erlian (China) passing through Jinignan, Zhurihe and Dzamynude and other towns that perhaps I …

Bangladesh is full of amazing smiles, amazing faces. From Bhola Island to Rajshahi, the faces we met - a long time ago now (2002 and 2004) made photos on their own. Most of these are, or perhaps I should say were, children. I hope you enjoy these photos. Thanks for dropping by today, take care …
So. This is another truly remarkable building in the Argentinian capital, Buenos Aires. Now, one could be easily fooled by the title, couldn’t one?

Two cities on the western side of South America, two countries that share a border, Quito and Lima both have good and bad sides. They are quite different cities despite being in neighbouring countries, and both offer quite a bit for the visitor. Quito is the Ecuadorian capital. It’s at altitude – 2,850 metres above …
Yes, a twist on Sunday Sunsets! 2004, the Ganges river, in a boat, India. Possibly there was no more special place I could be at that exact point in time... Thanks for dropping by, May the Journey Never End!
Previous posts – Pretrip, Days One and Two Days Three, Four and Five So it’s time to wrap up the final stage of the tour. The final three days, plus what they classed as ‘Day Nine’, but really shouldn’t have been counted as part of the tour. As I said before. But anyways, when last …
