Although I had visited the Island of Goree before on my previous trip to Senegal, on last year’s trip I still wanted to visit it again. Ile de Goree is this somewhat beautiful island, a short ferry ride from Dakar, that between the 15th and 19th centuries CE was the world’s biggest slave-trading centre. It …
Howdy all. Well today is my first in a series of photographic posts from the Philippines - Manila and El Nido from late last year. Intramuros is the historic centre of Manila, the Philippine capital.

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! And that country is Mauritania, and I stayed just the two nights in its capital, Nouakchott. Mauritania is a large country in Africa, being the 11th …
Howdy all. I am working my way through my time in Japan, Korea and I may not have mentioned it – my very brief time in Taiwan. Last time I wrote about my first day in Seoul and then visiting the DMZ taking us up to Day 18, so today…. Let’s Day 19!! Day 19 …
G’day folks. For months now I have been retelling the story of going from Dhaka, Bangladesh, to Dakar, Senegal, and finally we are nearing the finale.
