Sikkim, North East India 2012

INDIA | Saturday, 18 Aug 2012 | Views [641]

This trip didn’t get a good start. Firstly the driver got lost and the really bad road that I experienced going to the border, I had to experience another couple of times. We spent 90 more minutes going back on ourselves. We finally reached Gangtok, ... Read more >

This was my third trip to India and was happy to have company in the form of my sister and brother in law. Not only that but we booked into one of the best hotels in the city, the Oberoi Grand. I have never indulged myself in such opulence but figured ... Read more >

Arrived in Yangon and headed straight for the tour briefing and then to dinner. I had a night of stomach cramps due to the ice in my drink not being purified like I thought. Headed for a city tour the following morning and spent hours in temples and ... Read more >

Jubilee in Turkey June 2012

TURKEY | Saturday, 2 Jun 2012 | Views [592]

I think this is my third visit to Turkey. I haven’t had the best of experiences on my previous trips but I always like to give a country another chance to change my view and I think this trip did just that. I started off with a flight to Istanbul, ... Read more >

Ethiopia - Biblical Easter

ETHIOPIA | Sunday, 1 Apr 2012 | Views [1203]

Did you know that in Ethiopia it is the year 2004 now? I didn’t when I visited this wonderful country. Most people think Ethiopia is a Muslim country but it’s not. Only 40% of the population is Muslim. The most interesting part of Ethiopia ... Read more >

Jersey - Channel Islands Feb 2012

UNITED KINGDOM | Sunday, 12 Feb 2012 | Views [719] | Comments [1]

I had a fleeting visit to one of the Channel Islands this February only because I didn’t have the money for a full on organised trip. It was low season but it's what I wanted as there would be empty hotels, no screaming children and the places ... Read more >

Brunei Dec 2011

BRUNEI DARUSSALAM | Wednesday, 28 Dec 2011 | Views [1044]

Not the type of place I normally visit. It’s a tiny country almost similar to most South East Asian country but with one difference. It’s the richest country in the world with the richest monarch in the world. So I had to go and see for ... Read more >

Sailing in the Maldives

MALDIVES | Saturday, 22 Oct 2011 | Views [569]

I have always wanted to visit this island before the atolls disappeared altogether. I arrived on day 1 and boarded our boat in Male. We then headed to the fist sand bar which was 2 hours away. Once we arrived the first thing I saw in the ocean was a ... Read more >

LESOTHO | Saturday, 27 Aug 2011 | Views [943]

I only spent 4 days in this very small country which is slap bang in the middle of South Africa. In those four days I got to see the most beautiful villages, great mountain scenery and met sound very friendly people. I stayed in a local guesthouse ... Read more >

This trip was with my big sister.   She drove us there from Johannesburg. I know all about the pitfalls of driving in South Africa…car jacking, rapes, murders etc. We were told several times not to stop for anyone even the police as they ... Read more >
