TEHRAN – IRAN
2/7/2023 – 3/7/2023 Well, today was pretty uneventful! After getting back to Dave Hotel at close to midnight, we knew we only had about an hour and a half before we’d need to head to the airport. After a quick shower, our bags were packed, and we were half asleep on the beds ready to…

TATEV – ARMENIA
1/7/2023 The Tatev Monastery and the Wings of Tatev ropeway seems to pretty universally considered an integral part of an Armenian itinerary. Given that it’s almost a 5 hour drive away, we decided to join on to a coach trip operated by Hyur Services to visit Tatev, as well as the famous monasteries, Khor Virap…

YEREVAN – ARMENIA
29/6/23 – 2/7/23 Today, we were heading across the border, and making our way south to Yerevan, the capital city of Armenia.

VIENTIANE – LAOS
5/2/23 – 8/2/23 I departed from the old Siem Reap International Airport (since been replaced by Siem Reap-Angkor Airport) on a Bangkok Airways ATR-72, bound for Bangkok. Siem Reap didn’t, at least at the time of my visit, have any direct connections with its northern neighbour, Laos, and so I needed to route through Bangkok…

SIEM REAP – CAMBODIA
2/2/2023 – 5/2/2023 My bus to Siem Reap left from the same place I was dropped off at several days earlier, which meant that at the very least, I wasn’t fumbling around trying to find a bus stop that morning! Whilst my time in Cambodia’s capital had focussed on the country’s more recent (and disturbing)…
