For nearly 150 years Pentridge Prison in Coburg, Melbourne was Australia's most feared and infamous prisons. The brutal treatment of prisoners in H Division was like something out of a nightmare. The prison closed down in 1997 but the buildings made out of blue-stone bricks still, for the most part, still stand today. But today …
G’day all. Hope today’s post finds you well. Last week I took you to the capital of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh as my introduction to the country. From there it was a long day bus to Jeddah, perhaps the most open (in the past at least) of Saudi Arabia’s cities. Sitting in a great location on …

Howdy all and welcome on board Egypt Air as I try out their service from Luxor International Airport northwards to the Egyptian capital of Cairo! Luxor Airport is chaotic as many flights are delayed, but eventually we get to get out by bus to the Airbus to take us to Cairo. Below the scenery is …
