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 …
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 …

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 …
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 …
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 I am continuing on right from yesterday’s post about my time in Cairo. Yesterday’s post recounted my experiences visiting the pyramids at Giza and Dahshur, but my second full day in Cairo had me nutting out some of the sights there. Well, in all fairness it was just a handful of sights. …

Howdy all, the retelling of my ‘Dhaka to Dakar’ adventure continues today and I pick up where I left off last week, in Cairo, Egypt where I had just arrived. Of all the reasons I had given myself to return to Egypt the biggest one was to visit the Pyramids again, which I had visited …
