It started as a daughters university assignment to write a travel blog. Unfortunately for the daughter she only ever did one blog. This gave me the opportunity to take it over and document some travelling – in a really sad dad way.

The reasons for the blog;

1. If the internet continues and there is not an apocalypse then hopefully these blogs will stay tucked away in the ether, long after I have left this earth. Similar to the not very appropriate scrawled graffiti on Pompeii’s walls.
2. I enjoy writing, I will never write a novel but can just about manage a small essay.
3. “The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.”         St.Augustine of Hippo                                                                                                                                                         *Note. Life is full of coincidences. My grandfather is buried in a CWGC cemetery in Annaba, Algeria, once called Bone and before that Hippo Regius, one day I will visit him and turn another page.

Go and read some more blogs, they get better / worse, I can’t decide..
