Travel to Africa is often seen as exciting, adventurous, exotic, and perhaps a little dangerous. Westerners may typically imagine safaris and African animals, jungles, or perhaps poverty, whilst the north of Africa brings images of deserts and camels. If there is one country in Africa that can defy most expectations, though, that country has to …
Hi all. You may recall last year I had a special find - a roll of film from my visit to Egypt in 1999. Today I put them together with the others I had to present photos - good old 35mm photos - from Egypt. Thanks for stopping by today - take care - and …
Recently I had the opportunity to ride Melbourne’s largest Ferris Wheel, the Melbourne Star. This giant wheel is in the same vein as the London Eye, it rises 120 metres above the ground and gives you a complete view of Melbourne far and wide. It’s an expensive ride at full price - $36AUD for an …
Hi all. In today’s blog I thought I’d address a topic that often has me thinking, and often has me rather annoyed. I spent two years living in Japan, and whilst it had its minuses (ie WINTER) one thing I couldn’t fault for the entire time I was there, was the customer service. It was …

West Africa is not the first region people think of travelling to, especially from the west. The capital cities are often where the most money may be – in any country, not just in Africa – and they often can shine a little light into the past as well. Some cities show evidence of an …

Hello all on this fair Sunday. I’ve taken a baton from Tim from urbanduniya.com to complete this list, which he in turn had handed from Bren on the Road. Well, to be fair it was my idea to take this post from Tim. He left me free to change a few of the items, and …
Howdy all, hope this post finds you well. One of the highlights of my time a few years back now in Cameroon was a visit to the village of ‘Bali’. For Australians, ‘Bali’ generally will only ever mean the Indonesian island where we flock in droves. (not me, not yet!) In fact, I would presume …
As promised, following my visit to Melbourne’s Eureka Tower, today I present a ‘Tower Rumble’ looking at towers I have gone up myself and seeing which provided the best experience. There is nothing like going up a tower when you’re in a city – especially if it’s a new city, to see the layout of …
