G’day folks. Last post on Manila, at least for now. Today’s post concentrates on my second (full) day in Manila and the places I visited whilst I was there. Whereas my first day of sight seeing was in the relatively contained area of Intramuros and the nearby Rizal Park, the list I drew up of …
G’day All! Today’s post sees us dive into Manila’s heart, it’s historic district known as Intramuros. My first full day in the Philippines and I set about discovering a bit of its history, and this seemed like the perfect place to start. This walking tour took me a number of hours, five or six if …

Today I'm sharing with you …
So the day arrived. 90 days of travel, over 21,000 kilometres but it was now the end of April 2023 and it was time to come home. Did I celebrate the arrival in Dakar? Not much to be fair, it wasn’t like there was a team of people waiting in Dakar for me to arrive, …
Howdy all. If you’re just discovering my blog, every week now I have been doing a detailed post on the places I visited in 2023 when I travelled from Dhaka to Dakar. If you are not new, you’re probably sick of me mentioning this journey I undertook. Either way, here we are and today it’s …
