First Taste – Prague (Czech Republic)

With the honourable exception to Russia, Prague was not only my first introduction to the Czech Republic, but my first taste of Eastern Europe in general. It wasn’t on my list of places to go in Europe on my trip of 1999, however it was always a possibility. I made some good friends as I …

Foto Friday – That’s Me! In Myanmar!

I always like to put my best foot forward, and here I am being perfectly normal on the platform at Yangon Central Station awaiting the train of yesterday's blog.

Train Journeys – Yangon Circular Railway

Foto Friday – That’s me – in Mali!

Hi folks! Hope this photo finds you well. For a little while I've decided to specifically put up photos of myself on Friday. I was once told that the only problem with my travel photos was that they didn't include me! I always rationalised that by saying that I know what I look like, and …

A Day in Croatia

Let me tell you about a day I had back in 2004. I had been in Montenegro for the best part of the week on the cost in Budva, and visited Kotor from there, and let me tell you, it’s so beautiful and a wonderful place to go and I had a brilliant time. 30 …
