One Day in Taipei
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 …

Howdy all, and well, the second last country here in my 2023 ‘Dhaka to Dakar’ adventure is upon the blog now, which means there isn’t much left to go!
