Pick up any guide book and you’ll quickly work out that the main attraction in Bagan is the thousands of temples dotted around the 26 square mile archaeological zone. You can’t visit Bagan without spending at least a day exploring them, however there are some other activities that are not to be missed too! […]
The next stop on our trip to Myanmar was Bagan. We flew here from Yangon with Golden Myanmar airlines. Flying was more expensive than taking a bus but as we only had two weeks we wanted to spend as much of it as possible exploring the country rather than in a bus! I am going […]
In my previous Myanmar blog post I covered where to stay and eat in Yangon so now I am going to run through what there is to do in the city. Considering how few tourists there are there is a lot of opportunity for sight seeing and some major landmarks that you can’t miss […]

A weekend of sitting on the river bank waiting for a salmon to take the bait hook, line and seeker might not sound like the perfect weekend away. At least, not for anyone that isn’t already a keen angler. However, you’d be amazed at how many boxes this simple idea can tick. Let’s take […]
I love to take weekends away to European cities, especially when I can make use of the bank holiday weekends! I’ve been to the south of Portugal and spent several sunny, beach holidays in the Algarve but I had never been to the capital. Over Easter I got to spend 24 hours in […]
