You may never have heard of Kribi, it’s a small seaside town in Cameroon, a few hours south of Douala. But let me tell you, when it came to my trip in 2011 I came to Cameroon pretty exhausted from Central Asia, a quick day and a half in London and then a long flight …
For those familiar with Japan, you’ll know about Golden Week. It’s the time the whole country is on holiday. As much as that’s possible as most places remain open and the hospitality is run off its feet. It began on Sunday here, and well it finished today. So it’s not much of a week really, …
