travel

A squirrel throws a nut at me on the walk home from work- today I was the one that got away.

St Petersburg to Copenhagen via Stockholm and Helsinki, then Dubai again- 7 countries in 20 days and the trip isn't over yet.

In St Petersburg the thing to do is watch the sun set and the bridges open just after midnight- rather special and pretty.

The awesome building, nine million stealthy bicycles and face masks like a blown-over cap- highlights from Beijing.

They say try new things in new countries- bad idea, especially in Russia. It tasted of soy sauce with a honey aftertaste.

Greetings from Ger number 21- fermented horse milk, tortoise rock and spectacular views somewhere outside Ulan Bator.

Super hot and humid, tonnes of people and live scorpions on sticks- it is a whole new world.

The tallest building in the world from the flight in, a stop over and a trip beginning- it all feels very very big.
