So where do Maltese people go for their holidays? Their sister island Gozo of course. Gozo is like a smaller, slower, less populated Malta with so much spectacular scenery packed into a small space. So I got picked up from my hotel and taken to the ferry ... Read more >

Ahhh Roma!! Centre of the (old) universe, hehe. Well, my hotel wasn't too far from the train station and I didn't get badly lost trying to find it, so I was off to a good start :). Having mastered the Metro train systems in Russia (cough cough), I was ... Read more >

Greetings once again, this time from Praha!! The train ride from Krakow was fairly uneventful, although I did meet a nice Polish lady, Irinata, who spoke English and shared her sandwiches with me :) We chatted for some time having the berth to ourselves, ... Read more >

Hallelujah Krakow!!! My saviour :) I finally got some cash before leaving St Petersburg, and as much as I liked that place, I didn't feel too bad about seeing Russia disappear beneath the clouds from the air, hehe. The flight to Poland was fairly uneventful, ... Read more >

The morning started at a slow pace compared to the day before (I actually felt pretty good amazingly), and the train kept snaking its way towards Ulaanbaatur. We'd reached the Gobi desert and the terrain was barren and flat, endless plains of nothingness ... Read more >

Today was Day of the Duck!! But first, Harry picked me up and we braved the maddening traffic to the Forbidden City. Once the majestic home to the great emporers, this place certainly is fit for a king. Centuries old and fortified by a surrounding moat, ... Read more >
