Yes it's another sunset. Something I rarely do - go for a portrait-orientated photo. This is the amazing 300 metre long U-Bein Bridge near Mandalay. I was really happy with the length the reflections gave.

Yangon
So it seems my time in Myanmar is almost up. Boy it has gone quickly! It seems only yesterday that I was boarding my flight to Mandalay and tomorrow I am going to be taking a flight back to Bangkok where I will be joined by my wife and then we will have five days …
Markets, Trains, Temples and Bangkok
Well good evening folks as at least it is as I write this. WordPress is delaying my posts by four hours for some reason now that I'm posting on my tablet. What a whirlwind two days I have had in Bangkok and tomorrow morning I fly out to Mandalay in Myanmar. Then I have to …
Foto Friday – Hill of Crosses
2007 and I visited Lithuania along with the other Baltic Countries. Perhaps nothing so amazing as the 'Hill of Crosses', a short bus journey from Šiauliai, a university town north of Vilnius. It's a hill covered in crosses, perhaps 100,000 of them dating back to the 19th century standing in memory of those who fell in …
Trip of a Lifetime – Iceland
And so it was that I left London via Stockholm to go to a little island out in the middle of Atlantic Ocean known as ‘Iceland’. And what a strange, confronting and challenging 2 weeks it would turn out to be. What can I say about this country? It’s well, not over-endowed with trees. That’s …
Trip of a Life Time – Devon and Edinburgh
Don’t you hate it when you head somewhere and then years later realise, you have no idea where you were? Now with my diaries from this trip gone, I can only guess at the name of the town I stayed at when I was in the county of Devon, in the south of England. It’s …
Sunday Spotlight – Lyon
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 …
Foto Friday – Festival Time in Japan
First things first - Happy New Year! I am six weeks away from jetting off to Thailand and Myanmar so pretty excited about that! Hope that wherever you are you had a great New Year. Here in Melbourne we're getting some serious heat, it's about 38 degrees right now and we're heading for 41 …
Sunday Spotlight – Luxembourg
So. If you’re in Europe and want to go somewhere that doesn’t quite see the tourists that the big cities of Paris, Rome, Prague etc see, let me suggest one to you – Luxembourg. One of the smaller countries in Europe, Luxembourg and its main city, Luxembourg, are both charming spots to visit and although …
Trip of a Lifetime – Prague and the Czech Republic
Ahhh Prague – How I remember thee in 1999! It really was an awesome 5 days, even if I can’t remember all of it or even half of it! I took an overnight train from Amsterdam to Dresden. I was very happy that I paid an extra 40 bucks or so to upgrade to a …
