Booking.com have a new AI itinerary planner. Worth a look if going somewhere you are not familiar with. Will try to sell you places to stay at the end but the info generated is really useful.

Lovely stuff, first trip with the baby so expecting quite a chilled one . Weather looking promising after the past week or so, hoping for some cold beer and nice seafood. Looks very chilled.

We went in September and it was glorious still was still in the sea at 6pm, did g want to get out.

Enjoy pal.

Probably need to visit Vientiane soon in Laos to organise a Thai visa due to a new job. Anybody been there and have recommendations on places to stay / eat / drink a coffee?

It's a long time since I've been but the Chokdee Café Belgian Beer Bar used to be great for a beer and steak

Anywhere involving Belgian beers a winner in my book!

Absolutely sweltering in Japan mid 30's and over 50 percent humidity. Amazing place so far. Last few days in Kyoto then onto the Japanese Alps.

I am going middle of next month, anything you think I should know in advance? Are you using an e-sim?

Hope you have a good one mate.

An e-sim is good. If you're doing a lot of inter-city travel get yourself a JR rail pass. Where are you going?

After watching a programme on Ammy P about three boomer's going on a Grand Tour to Zimbabwe, I now have a mega itch to go to Zimbabwe. It looks beautiful.

Tokyo then Osaka.

Is it necessary to have cash?

 

[malfosse]

A decent amount would be handy but most will take a card. Going to Osaka tomorrow night for some food then Tokyo via the Japanese alps on I think the 19th. For our final 5 days. Get yourself some sort of portable cooling device mate, the heat and the humidity are a killer. Meant to be 70 percent in Kyoto tomorrow. Fantastic place though. Hope you have a great time.

I’d recommend getting a Suica card. You can load money on it and use it for subways, trains, convenience stores, etc. This was recommended to me by my Japanese colleagues and it was very helpful
