Yes the accommodation review is in again, following on sequentially on my trip to Myanmar. Nyaungshwe is the town where almost everyone, especially the backpacks, stay when visiting Inle Lake. It’s a dusty old town, but nice enough and you can get the boats that take people around the lake at Nyaungshwe which is pretty …

Crikey, it’s been MONTHS since I posted on the story of my first ever solo backpacker adventure. Readers may (or may not) recall that I had almost got to the end of my time in Europe, which had seen me through Germany, Italy, France, the UK, Sweden, Denmark yada yada yada. When last I left …

Yes, Sunday Spotlight is back this time with a city from my most recently visited country, Myanmar. Mandalay, made famous to the west by Rudyard Kipling and a poem he once wrote, possibly sounds a little romantic. For example: Come you back to Mandalay, Where the old Flotilla lay: Can't you 'ear their paddles chunkin' …
As dedicated readers to this blog (all three of you! ;)) should be aware, I am a bit of a fan of the ol’ train ride, so I thought I’d do a bit of a summary of my time on the trains whilst I was in Myanmar over February and March. So, I only took …
Hello all. Well, here I am, back in Australia, eventually. I will be reviewing all my flying experiences and I will probably be starting with my experience of the previous two days with Jetstar and it's not going to be pretty unfortunately, let's just say I got back into Melbourne more than 10 hours after …
Hello dear readers. I'm here at the Golden Kite Restaurant in Nyaungshwe with a few hours until I leave on my night bus to Yangon. I've had a cold for the last four or five days but slowly seem to be getting over it. Nyaungshwe is a sort of gateway town to Inle Lake, perhaps …
Folks I'm writing from Nyaung U, in the area of Bagan, where you'll find thousands and thousands of temples, most dating from the time of around the twelfth century. It's a truly awesome sight let me tell you, and despite niw having seen a billion and one temples in the last week I have still …
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 …
Howdy all. Sorry again for a week-long absence from the old blog but I’ve spent all my limited free time in the last week video editing and rendering files and frankly, whew! But the bulk of what I had to do is done now. Before I go even for what is a shortish trip (for …
One of the most amazing cities in Iran, Yazd features mud-brick buildings aplenty and is a wonderful place to explore.
