Sunset over Bagan

sunset bagan

It’s been difficult getting online, but just wanted to send this postcard greeting from Myanmar. The food has been surprisingly good, the people incredibly charming and generous (though they don’t have much), and the sights, stunning. Don’t worry folks we will be back on the 29th with more inspiring tales, but for now, we leave [...]

What I got up to this week..

Test driving my dream car, that’s what. . . . . . Weekends are made for pleasure.. and speed!

Photo(s) of the Week – Putrajaya

La Jolla Cove (1100 Coast Boulevard) is a very small beach, tucked between [...]

Photo(s) of the Week – Langkawi

I like The Datai, Langkawi, for the simple fact that it reminds me of a silent retreat. Everything about this island hotel is constructed around an amphitheatre of virgin tropical rainforest whose resident birdlife and monkeys (cumi & ciki!) provide the only external intrusion. This place totally blends into its natural unspoilt surroundings. There is [...]
