This is a top pick! Graeme and Cindy were meeting us at the train station today so we had a bit more of a lie in. Met up with them at 10am and headed off to train station to go and see the tallest building in the world, Taipei 101. We knew we needed to head towards the ...
To Taipei
This is a top pick! This diary entry isn't going to be very interesting as we did very little all day. We needed to be in Taipei later in the evening as we had a place booked in a hostel but there was very little to do before getting the bus at 3pm. Got the 5 star bus to ...
Climbing Mountains
This is a top pick! We were staying in separate dorms that night, both with people who had been living there for a few months and had very much made themselves at home. The bed was the most comfortable I had slept in so far and had no trouble sleeping. In fact when I was ...
"Please Please Me"
This is a top pick! Long haul flights are still like childbirth... see entry number 3, way back in April. The trouble is that the last one was after a lapse of 25 years. This time... 2 months. I was glad to get on that plane out of Rome to be heading towards ...
