pmarshuk's VirtualTourist Home Page

Well having gotten off to a good start by having a really original homepage title, on with the rest.
I'm an IT consultant living to the west of London between Uxbridge and Heathrow, and working out on a business park on the outskirts of Reading. It seems to me that I've only recently begun doing long haul exotic trips , but when I think about it, it's been quite a few years now.

Pages with the most information in them are :
...Botswana
...South Africa (including Cape Town, Oudtshoorn and Knysna
...Bangkok
...Angkor Wat - Still got a bit of stuff on some other temples to put on yet
...Phnom Penh
...Paros - two travelogues describing my backpacking trip to the Cyclades in 1972
...Yosemite
...Beijing
...Egypt
There is also some stuff on these places, but there needs to be lot more:
...San Franciso and the Bay area
...San Jose
...Philadelphia
...Sydney
...Cairns - reef and rainforest
...Whitsundays and Airlie Beach
...Barbados

Pages with some info :
...Amsterdam
...London
...Nottingham.

Places high on wishlist for really wanting to visit are :
Maccu Picchu.
Petra
Yucatan Peninsula
Borobudur
Prambanan
Grand Canyon
Yellowstone Park
Taj Mahal (and the rest of Agra)
Plus everywhere else in the world I've not yet seen.

Off back to Bangkok again I must really like South East Asia 'cos I've never done that many repeat visits to anywhere else

As having an album of sunset pics seems to be a popular thing to do, I thought I'd add my own. So see my album for some of my favourite pics.

Had a wonderful little mini meet with Lina and Phil around Covent Garden. In true VT tradition we had to get the picture with alcohol in there somewhere.
Picture pinched from Phil's camera, thank goodness for friendly barmen.

Thanks to all those folks in Bangkok who turned up to say "Hello" at the Lemongrass and thanks especially to Yen for organising it.
On my last trip to Bangkok met up with some other VT'ers again in the Foodloft. So thanks Patt, Peak (and friend), Nim, Neng and Mei Leng and friends
