Today is the 30th December, and I awoke very rested after our busy day yesterday. Reflecting on the sites of Anuradhapura and comparing to my recent trip to China, although there have been some restorations of the various sites, there are no wholescale rebuilding and certainly no theme park experiences which was rather nice. These…

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…
