Folks come with me to a little slice of 'paradise' in the beachside town of Saly, Senegal. Le Clos Des Papillons is a hotel/guesthouse run by a Belgian Chef with a wonderful swimming pool, palm trees and mango trees to cast shade and great food. But how is the room itself? Check out this great …
Howdy all! Well as Christmas and the end of the year speedily approaches, it's time to start looking back at 2023 and talking and best (and worst) of the year. Which I guess will mostly be in January 2024 but I'm starting today with the flights. I should start by saying I am not including …

G’day all. Today I wrap up my Saudi series with a dip in the Red Sea that divides Egypt from Saudi Arabia. Snorkelling and diving is a popular activity for those visiting Egypt’s Red Sea Coast, but it is perfectly possible to do the activity from the other side, as I did. The company I …
