A Tour of the Town of El Nido! (Palawan, Philippines)
Folks, I read about El Nido back before Covid first hit and had a trip all booked in May 2020. Of course, that never happened - until NOW! My first vlog from El Nido, Palawan and I explore the main little town here, taste a few things, marvel at the small mountains which are El …

Inspiring Istanbul
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.

The Long Journey to Istanbul
Howdy all! Continuing on from my time in Egypt, this is the story of 2023’s adventure ‘Dhaka to Dakar’. Today I’ll be recounting the not-very-well-thought-out tale of getting from Luxor, in Egypt to Istanbul, Turkey, by air. Luxor has a small airport although it does claim to be an ‘international’ airport. The reality is that …

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 …
Monies of Oman and Saudi-Arabia
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 …
Tour of the West Bank, Luxor
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 …

Historic Hotel in Manila – the 1898!
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! …
