You know me, I love a morning and what would one rather be doing at 5.30am than going to a fish market? When on holiday… So the Negombo Fish Market is the only thing detailed in my guidebook as a must see in Negombo. This is the second largest fish market in Sri Lanka with…

I slept for 2 hours and felt immeasurably better. I think what woke me was the need for food. But first the plan. Day 1 of my tour starts at 5.30pm tonight with a welcome meeting and then: Its a 12 day tour and the reason I chose this, in addition to the fact that…

Today is the 27th December, and I am writing this on train 2 of 2 to Vienna airport before hopefully catching flight 1 of 2 to Istanbul, then onto Colombo. If all goes to plan, I will reach Sri Lanka after just under 24 hours of travelling… But that is Christmas over for another year,…

I’m back! And yes, unsurprisingly, I am off again. So, let me explain the plan: I am therefore writing this in Heathrow airport. I have collected fancy whiskey (as requested by James) and eaten the traditional LEON sausage and egg muffin. I am ready. On the subject of being ready, I thought the obligatory photos…

I am writing this from the comfort of my sofa having safely arrived home yesterday morning. No problems on the flight and (oh the joys!) there was a spare seat next to me (in a row of 3) which certainly helped the sleeping which I did for a good portion of the flight. I also…

So, this is it, the last day. Time to go back to reality and a new job (which I am actually rather excited about – its like I usually like what I do?). However, that is 1.40am tomorrow morning so I have one last day to enjoy. I slept very well last night (after all…

From rope drop to park closing – that is how I do Disney, and do Disney I did. My commitment to the Mouse should not be questioned. I will set out below exact timings as well as my top tips for when, and its a when not an if, I come again. But in summary,…

Well, this is it – the last leg, the final train ride, the last hotel check-in and it is nearly time to leave reality and go embrace being a Disney Adult! I have travelled (as the crow flies) 2,132 miles (Xi’an to Kashgar) plus 795 miles (Guilin to Shanghai) since the beginning (in Xi’an), travelling…

I am on my train. My alarm went off at 5.45am, quick trip to the station, and I boarded my 7.34am train to Hangzhou (it actually goes through to Shanghai, but I will be getting off one stop earlier). I am currently 2 hours into my 8 hour journey… Its a little bit of a…

They say that you should do something every day that scares you. Well, this is the day. I have a healthy “awareness” of heights, but really, it is not the height that is the problem, but bridges over high things, and (fear of fear) glass bridges. So today, I am going to be crossing the…
