These breathtaking tombs, known as Naghsh e Rostam, are something to behold. Not least because they START so far up the cliffs - must have had some decent step ladders back in the day. They are not far from the ancient ruins of Persepolis and most guides will include them in a day tour. Hope you're …

Welcome to a new regular-ish segment on my blog called ‘Seven on Sunday’ where I’ll talk about seven things to do or see in a place… well something like that. There’ll still be a Sunday Spotlight now and again as well, but I thought it was time to diversify from the rigidness of the same …
Welcome back to Myanmar, where the train rides are bumpy and adventuresome! I love a little train ride with a good reputation for adventure, and here is one such ride, from Pyin Oo Lwin to Kyaukme (pronounced Chow-mei). This is only part of the journey as the train goes further on to Hsipaw and Lashio, …
Hey folks, I thought I’d start up a new series of posts on some of my itineraries. Thought it might be useful for anyone planning a trip to various places at the very least, and I could talk about how I went about it and what worked, what didn’t. My trip to Ethiopia …
Hi folks. Well, today my series on my 2006 trip to West Africa begins to wrap up, this being the penultimate post.
