Yes, here's a shot to prove I've actually been to the US of A. And to be true, I loved San Francisco! I must admit I've taken better photos in my life, but I love the way the ferry is blurred and appears to be going at speeds it couldn't actually achieve! Hope you're having …
I have recently been planning my trip next year furiously. I am a planner, although I don’t mind sorting it all out on the road on a longer journey when I’m only away for a few weeks I like to plan it out a bit so I don’t miss anything I’ll regret later. I have …

If you’re travelling to Europe from Australia, or indeed Africa from Australia as I was in 2009, it’s hard to go past one of the Emirati Airlines because the trip is nicely portioned into a 14-hour journey from Dubai or Abu Dhabi to Sydney or Melbourne, plus a shorter trip to the other two continents. …
Ahhh Prague – How I remember thee in 1999! It really was an awesome 5 days, even if I can’t remember all of it or even half of it! I took an overnight train from Amsterdam to Dresden. I was very happy that I paid an extra 40 bucks or so to upgrade to a …

I promised myself I would lay off West Africa a little bit after all the stuff on Burkina Faso and the malaria, but well when I was thinking ahead for this week’s Sunday Spotlight, all I could think of was Accra, the capital of Ghana. Now, I have to start by saying I can’t say …
For anyone familiar with the ‘Carry On’ films, there’s one of the best (it helps if you have an appalling taste in humour) called ‘Carry on Up the Khyber’. Which I am using to segue from my title to my actual post here. 2004, as part of my crossing from Dhaka to Europe by land, …
So, it was from Cairo that I flew into Munich, Germany, and the Eurail adventure was set to begin. Leading up to the journey, I was really looking forward to catching trains through Europe (as anyone familiar with my blog might guess!) and so I had a pass that 10 days travel across Germany, France, …
It seems suddenly I am writing a lot of posts on West Africa again! Oh well, this time I turn the spotlight to a little town on the coast of Benin. Benin is one of the most interesting countries in the region. There’s a fair bit to keep one occupied for a few days to …
