Guilin: Alternative Yangtze River Cruise
Travel Blog | November 27, 2012 | 10 Comments
Guilin and Yangshuo Guilin weather on arrival was the same as our flu and moods. Wet, dripping, dark and grey. This gloom and weather stayed with us for our first two days there. It was raining so heavily even the street vendors gave up, so there was no decent street food to munch on. Not […]

Beijing Hotel Booking Problems We decided to stay a couple of extra nights in our Beijing accommodation, and tried to extend direct with the hotel.

Travel in China: Shanghai to Beijing by Train
Travel Blog | November 10, 2012 | 4 Comments
This Chinese train service has to be one of the most comfortable I have ever travelled on, apart from the frantic ‘queue’ getting on to it and the packed lounges at the station. However, once we settled into our soft sleeper carriage the journey was a real dream, the rolling stock is new and the tracks level […]

With independent travel around China easier than ever, we decided to ignore some of the doom merchants who advise against travelling here. We just […]

In our last travel blog post I mentioned that I had done another diving course. I’ve included some underwater photographs and videos taken whilst I was on this course. We stayed in Bohol, longer than anywhere else in the Philippines, because of the excellent diving sites at very reasonable prices. Bohol is a magnet […]

From Pagudpud we reversed […]
Ilocos Norte, Pagudpud and Saud Beach
The ‘Borocay of the North’ is the strapline trying to attach itself to this beautiful part of Ilocos Norte in the Philippines.
