View all the Cape Coast photos Travelling in the developing world is never a totally relaxing experience, especially when the tro-tro transport have window stickers proclaiming their trust in God to look after them (I prefer not to overtake on blind corners, leaving it to divine intervention to sort out – if there is […] See all the photos from Fantas Folly When we started ringing around from Accra for places to stay on the Ghanaian coast over Christmas things did not look promising at first. Many places did not have the ten days in a row we wanted or bumped up the price to huge levels over the […] The full set of Accra photos are here After a brief overnighter in Dubai, which seemed ridiculously modern and comfortable after Jordan, we flew into the heart of Africa. Well, not the heart exactly, a little more to the west and on the coast to the capital of Ghana, Accra. For those that have […] Any land border crossing with armed soldiers is not going to entirely relaxed but our journey from Israel back to Jordan had an extra twist thanks to the slightly crazy Palestinian taxi driver who took us across.

This has worked fine but means that you have to devote some energy while travelling to figuring out where to go next and then […] View the full set of Tel Aviv photos here Tel Aviv, at 400,000 people, is surprisingly small for a place that looms so large on the international stage. It feels like a much bigger city than that as well, or maybe it’s just seeing big skyscrapers and a metro system after barely anything over two […] View all the Eilat photos here We were only in Eilat for half a day but it warrants a mention for couple of reasons. It’s where we crossed the border into Israel and it has fantastic snorkelling. Border crossings with Israel are never going to be a totally relaxed affair. On our flight in from […] Full set of photos from Wadi Rum It had been a holiday of tight deadlines and this morning was no exception.
