Although I had visited the Island of Goree before on my previous trip to Senegal, on last year’s trip I still wanted to visit it again. Ile de Goree is this somewhat beautiful island, a short ferry ride from Dakar, that between the 15th and 19th centuries CE was the world’s biggest slave-trading centre. It …
Well, it had to happen – I had to eventually make it to Dakar!! It was around the 21st of April last year I think that I took the last overland portion of the Dhaka to Dakar adventure and made it to the Senegalese capital. In three parts I am going to summarise my experiences …
G'day all. I thought it was time I shared a few more of my shorts with you, so this July Saturdays will be or mostly be devoted to recent shorts I put up on YouTube that I haven't shared here. Today those shorts are ones I took in Tokyo! Enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/shorts/n2dkDDnsWfU https://www.youtube.com/shorts/a7W5OMC2Wk8 https://www.youtube.com/shorts/utVlnsTx1Aw https://www.youtube.com/shorts/MC9sKnflNE4 https://www.youtube.com/shorts/MwEqCvh7vXM …
G’day all! Today I wanted to write a post for you on Saudi-Arabia which I visited last year as part of my journey from Dhaka to Dakar. As it is a destination that hasn’t been accessible until pretty recently I thought I would do a post about it for you letting you know some basic …
So, after every holiday there comes that time when you have to return home, to life and reality. And that came for me quicker than I would have liked certainly just over a month ago now. BUT – there was still a quick stopover to enjoy before getting back to the daily grind, and this …
Yes folks, I'm back and so's Adrian and today we delve into the inner city suburb of Melbourne! Once a working class suburb full of factories, today it's very definitely undergone a major transformation (not necessarily a good thing) and is full of little shops, bars, breweries, art galleries and more. I start off at …

G’day folks! Today I’m reviewing my few days in Saint Louis, Senegal, a unique little city partly on a couple of island, and partly (or to be more accurate, mostly) on mainland Senegal. Two long little islands connect to the mainland via the Pont Faidherbe, a bridge featuring in most of the postcards you can …

G’day all! My last post today on Seoul, detailing the magical Day 21 of my Japan/Korea/Taiwan trip which I returned home from recently. My final day in the Korean capital of Seoul saw me explore the neighbourhood of Gangnam, made famous around 11-12 years ago now by the Korean Rapper ‘PSY’ for his song ‘Gangnam …
Howdy all! Following on from last week's post about Peter, Paul and Mary, today I have another classic of theirs to share - I Dig Rock N'Roll Music. This was covered by Carol Burnett and Vicki Lawrence on the former's variety show back in the 1970s, so I wanted to share bother versions and ask …
G’day folks! Well, today I am continuing with the ‘Dhaka to Dakar’ tale, and well, we are about to hit the FINAL COUNTRY in this adventure, and that is the West African country of Senegal – capital city? Well, Dakar of course! So, I researched this border crossing quite a bit online, and you know …
