My final day in Manila was super crazy, taking every form of transport imaginable including the MRT, LRT, tricycle and JEEPNEY!! In this vlog I visit a Shoe Museum displaying a collection of over 1000 shoes including a large collection of Imelda Marcos's shoes. The Chinese Cemetery was genuinely creepy, with some of the largest …
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 …

Howdy all. Time for another 'five-minute review' - ok this one is eight minutes, reviewing a hotel in Manila in the Makati area commonly known as 'The 1898'. Despite being in a bit of a questionable are of the city, this was a great stay with a full breakfast. Enjoy! https://youtu.be/lpLJTt6xW_E Thanks for popping by! …
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 …
Howdy all. Today’s review sees me talk about a place I only stayed one night, close to the King Abdulaziz Airport in Jeddah. I had an early morning flight and I didn’t want to have to negotiate my way to the airport at 5am in the morning to catch my onward flight to Cairo, so …

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 …
Howdy all. Today a little post for you about buying a ticket and catching the train in Egypt. I took the day train when I was there from Cairo to Luxor. I was planning on taking the train back as well but I opted to fly when I found out the prices for flights were …
