Howdy all, and the tales of last year’s Dhaka to Dakar continue unabated, and this time I’m in the most popular tourist destination in Turkiye, and that is, of course, Istanbul. After around six weeks in the Sub-Continent and the Middle East I was now on the European continent, in Istanbul the city that sits …
Howdy all. Well I've (approximately) reached Istanbul in my telling of the story of Dhaka to Dakar, and I think it was one of the most photogenic places I stopped on the whole trip. So I'm sharing a few photos of the significant places I saw. The Hagia Sofia - Catholic Church/Orthodox Church/Mosque/Museum/Mosque is unquestionably …

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 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 …

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 …
G’day all, hoping this post finds you well. Today I continue on through my experiences in March last year in Egypt as part of the ‘Dhaka to Dakar’ adventure I underwent. Today I will cover one day basically in Luxor, and the next time I will cover my nearly disastrous tour of Luxor’s West Bank …
Finally folks I can share my vlogs from the Philippines with you. Later this year I'll go into written detail on the blog, but for now you can see what I got up to in the Philippine Archipelago by watching my pretty comprehensive vlogs - I really do need to learn to put down the …
