It's time to see what it's like on a FULL flight with Cebu Pacific on Flight 5J 639 on an Airbus A321CEO from Manila, the Philippine capital to Puerto Princessa on the southern island of Palawan. Flying over the archipelago of the Philippines is impressive as the sun goes down. Check out this full flight …

Hi There! Yes another week and some more interesting currencies to share. Principally the Egyptian Pound, worth around 20 to the Australian dollar and around 31 to the USD. Sorry I only kept one Turkish Lira note, the 5 Lira note. The Turkish Lira comes in at a very similar rate, just under 20 to …
Howdy all! Continuing on from my time in Egypt, this is the story of 2023’s adventure ‘Dhaka to Dakar’. Today I’ll be recounting the not-very-well-thought-out tale of getting from Luxor, in Egypt to Istanbul, Turkey, by air. Luxor has a small airport although it does claim to be an ‘international’ airport. The reality is that …
Howdy all and welcome to another ‘Accommodation Review'. Today, I’m reviewing the somewhat interesting place I stayed when I was in Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria, which was a curious little guesthouse I guess which was in a lady’s house. I was hoping to keep the costs down at this point in my trip knowing …

My final day in Manila was super crazy, taking every form of transport imaginable including the MRT, LRT, tricycle and JEEPNEY!! In this vlog I visit a Shoe Museum displaying a collection of over 1000 shoes including a large collection of Imelda Marcos's shoes. The Chinese Cemetery was genuinely creepy, with some of the largest …
Howdy all. A little while back I shared some examples of the currencies of the countries I passed through - starting with Bangladesh and Pakistan (I had shared some Indian Rupee a while ago from a previous trip). So today I continue this travel through currency, and I have some Rial from Oman and some …
Howdy all. Continuing on from my previous post when I was in Luxor, I spent the first day in Luxor itself. The second day I devoted to the ‘West Bank’ (of the Nile) where it seemed the only logical thing to do was to book a tour. However, it did not all to plan. I …
Howdy all, time for another patented ‘Accommodation Review’ – this time in what I think is best described as a Bed and Breakfast in the Sultanahmet area of Istanbul, the Dilhayat Kalfa. At a little over $80AUD a night (booked well in advance) or around $52USD, this one was great value for money with a …

Welcome to the heart of Manila, the historic district that is Intramuros! Come along with me as I embark upon a walking tour of the district taking in the sights such as the Manila Cathedral, Casa Manila and the Saint Augustin Church and Monastery! The tour ends at the expansive Rizal Park, under the flag …
Howdy all. Time for another 'five-minute review' - ok this one is eight minutes, reviewing a hotel in Manila in the Makati area commonly known as 'The 1898'. Despite being in a bit of a questionable are of the city, this was a great stay with a full breakfast. Enjoy! https://youtu.be/lpLJTt6xW_E Thanks for popping by! …
