Welcome to the fourth post in my series of Arm Chair Travel; where I share with you my favourite travel blog posts I have read throughout the month.
So grab a cuppa (or wine 😉 ), sit back in your arm-chair, and join me as I show you what I discovered in the world of travel during April 2016.

Before you go though you may need some special one-off pieces to get you through any situation you may encounter, but locating those products can be tricky. Cathy from Mummy Travels has spent ages finding those items that work for many occasions and shares them with us.

Which is your favourite travel blog post from April?
Please tell me in the comments.
Thank you for sharing my blog post. I saw the orangutans at Shangri-la’s Rasa Ria as well but they are no longer there.
You’re welcome Anne, I was a little saddened to hear that the orangutans are no longer at the Shangri-La Rasa Ria. I popped over to their website to see that the program came to a successful conclusion in March this year.
Thanks for sharing my post. Hong Kong’s MTR is indeed a cheap and efficient way to get about. So clean and reliable.
You’re welcome Fairlie, great to hear that the public transport system in Hong Kong is clean and efficient.
