Bountiful Bulgaria
Today I thought I would have a bit of a reflection on a country I wrote on a couple of weeks back and was in my thoughts. Bulgaria was my first step into Europe proper back many years ago now in my journey across Asia to Europe. I was not sure what to expect, but …
Scammed in India – Delhi
Ahhh I had had a wonderful time in Agra, seeing the Taj Mahal, making friends and catching my first ever Bollywood film, and the ups and downs of my first visit to India seemed like they were ending on the up part. I had to get back to Delhi where I would spend a couple …
A Work in Progress
Hello folks! Just a quick little blog post to welcome to you the week starting Monday the 27th of July. Hope you are well and warm wherever you may be. If you’re in the Northern Hemisphere, there’s a much higher chance of that as I sit at my computer with my heater warming my feet …
Sunday Spotlight – Luxor, Egypt
If the pyramids at Giza, near Cairo, and its amazing museum leave you wanting more history, more grandeur, more impressive statues and heck, more columns whilst you’re at it, then when in Egypt, head down to Luxor. A long train ride from Cairo, or a few relaxing and amazing days in a felucca along the …

Foto Friday – Colossi of Memnon, Egypt
Not far from Luxor stand these two huge statues known as the 'Colossi of Memnon'. 3400 years old and don't look a day over 3350! And where I left a roll of film with 36 photos from Egypt never to be developed or seen.
Scammed in India – Jaipur
My first week and a bit in India in 1999, my first time in India, had all been a very whirlwind experience. From the craziness of Delhi, up north to the surreal Chandrigargh and then Jalandhar. I had spent a few days in the last of these living with a very protective local family, and …
Sunday Spotlight – New Orleans
For this week’s ‘Sunday Spotlight’, let’s take a journey to the states, to Louisiana in fact and perhaps the second greatest ‘party’ city in the USA. Oh. There’s an idea for a City Rumble! Hehe. I’ll be juxtaposing again before I know it. I visited New Orleans after a long day of flights …
West African Memories Ghana Part Two
This new/old series continues on from last week examining my first blogging adventure. Last week I reviewed my posts from the capital of Ghana, Accra. Today I continue on when I went along the coast a little to Cape Coast and Elmina, and ultimately back to Accra as my decision to go to the region …
