HIROSHIMA – JAPAN
2/10/25 – 3/10/25 Following a lovely few days in Matsuyama, it was time to head back over the water to Honshu island, this time to visit the city of Hiroshima. We took a local train (and short bus ride) down to the port, and collected our ferry tickets. The trip across the Seto inland sea…

MATSUYAMA – JAPAN
29/9/25 – 2/10/25 After an interesting few days in Tokyo and Nikko, we took a short flight to the capital of Ehime Prefecture on Shikoku Island.

BUKHARA – UZBEKISTAN (#3)
22/4/25 – 23/4/25 Our overnight train from Termez pulled into Samarkand in the early hours of the morning, leaving me with a fair few hours to spare before my train to Bukhara (Dale was staying in Samarkand for a few days instead). There were still around 2 hours until sunrise, and so, after I dropped…
