Day 74 – Kuala Lumpur

We went to Kuala Lumpur; that’s about enough said about that!!

This is a super hotel, and we’ve stayed in here twice between 2022 and 2024.

The pick up at all Thai airports has always been without any problems, although...

Another of the ‘great things’ to see in China, the Terracotta Warriors close to Xi’an. These are one more of those man-made creations you can’t really grasp the size of, or understand the time taken to create these warriors, until you’re there to see it with your own eyes. The detail in each warrior is...
