Now that I’ve been back in the UK for a few days, and have started re-adjusting to UK time, I’ve had a chance to reflect on my trip to Myanmar. I had wanted to visit Myanmar, also known as Burma, for a while. There are a few things that drew […]

Charlie : Hong Kong
Charlie has just returned to The UK after our trip to south east Asia, for a sailing trip around southern Myanmar with a few days in Thailand either side and an overnight layover in Hong Kong. Hong Kong was an experience to visit, especially in contrast to how quiet and […]
Hong Kong and home again
I’ve arrived back home after a great trip. Myanmar is a country I have wanted to visit for a long time and even though I didn’t see much of the country itself as it was a sailing trip I had such a great time. I also ticked off three new […]
From Thailand to Hong Kong
I’ve arrived in Hong Kong and even though I’ve been here less than an hour I’m already impressed with the city. Everything just seems to work so fast and efficient compared to other places I’ve been in Asia and it’s a whole world away from Thailand where I started the […]
Charlie : Phuket, Thailand
Charlie has enjoyed his time in Thailand. Phuket is not the sort of place that has ever interested me, as most people come here for the nightlife and the sterile beaches, but I did my best to get away from these and see some of the local culture. Before travelling […]
A day in Phuket Town
I’m back in my room after an exhausting day exploring Phuket Town but it has been worthwhile and I’ve seen a lot of things. This morning I had breakfast on the roof terrace at the hotel. The food itself was average but the view was really nice and you could […]
Back to Thailand
I have finally arrived back in Phuket after a long day of travelling. I’m staying in Phuket Town for a couple of nights to see a non-beach side of the island and to experience life in a less touristy Thai town. Unfortunately I didn’t have a chance to see much […]
Charlie : Myanmar (aka Burma)
Charlie has spent the past week with me on a sailing trip through southern Myanmar (also known as Burma) and it has been really nice. I usually like to take trips which are full of activities, or at least which don’t have a large proportion scheduled for relaxation time, so […]
Our final day of sailing in Myanmar
I’m writing a lot for this travel blog as the days go by which I didn’t expect. I was expecting to have a lot of sitting around doing nothing and relaxing, which we did, but there’s so much going on around us as well that I don’t want to forget […]
Pilot Whales and an overdue shower
The days just keep getting better and better on this trip. I’m not sure if the trip has been planned this way, if I’m getting used to life on a boat away from everybody, or if it’s just the way it is but I’ve just got back to the boat […]
