After my experiences in Banfora, I hoped I wouldn’t end up in another hospital in Burkina Faso. BAH! I ended up in another TWO! Suffice to say it’s not the ideal country to end up in hospital in, should you have a choice. In Bobo-Diolosso I was taken the main hospital there. Far far bigger …

For something a little different this Sunday, I thought I’d explore the planets the good Doctor has visited on his travel, and select seven I wouldn’t mind visiting! There certainly have been some amazing planets he’s been to, and so hurry up and create fast space travel so we can all get out there and …

Here’s my final two parts of my hospital experiences. Burkina Faso, and this is where it all happened, I got my first ever serious tropical disease, malaria. I was in Banfora, a large town (but definitely a town) six or so hours south west of the capital Ouagadougou. I remember the lead up – I’d …

I was going to present a Doctor Who Festival ‘Rap’ but thought it would probably end up being pretty lame. The reason I headed to Sydney was solely to attend this amazing event at the Hodern Pavilion in the same precinct as the Sydney Cricket Ground. I did end up with another day in Sydney, …
Today’s post has come about because on my recent trip I went to two high towers to see the views in Sydney and Auckland. It’s always a fun thing to do when you arrive in a city, to find a high tower often purpose built for the views (along with communication reasons too), so here …
And here I am back safe and sound in Australia from my first ever trip to our neighbours across the ditch, New Zealand. Ironic that it has taken me so long to get there when I’ve been as far away as Central Asia, Iceland and Cameroon but there you go. So time for a bit …
Hello and Kia Ora from New Zealand! A quick summary of the last few days. 1. I've had no time to blog or keep my diary up to date. 2. Sydney Airport on Tuesday was a nightmare. Can't remember the last time I needed to wait so long to get through customs. The flight to …
Howdy folks and greetings from Sydney! Hope this short post finds you well. The trip is already a much welcome break from life and indeed work. A quick run down of what's happened so far. Well it all started with my sister's wedding on Saturday and from there my wife and I headed to Melbourne …
So, my brief getaway is not far away at all. It’s Thursday here in sunny Australia, and I’m on leave from Saturday (when I’m going to my sister’s wedding) and then on Sunday I am off to Sydney, followed by New Zealand on Tuesday next week. So you know, packing. I’ve never left it this …
