Full set of Gokceada photos are here We applied for our India visas in Istanbul and found ourselves with five days to kill before we had to return to Istanbul to collect them. Not wanting to go too far without our passports we opted to take a look at Turkey’s largest island, Gokceada (pronounced – […] Complete set of Istanbul photos The denizens of Istanbul call it the capital of the world and for once the hyperbole doesn’t seem out of place. Famously straddling Europe and Asia, divided by the Bosphorus strait which links the Mediterranean to the Black Sea, the city previously known as Byzantinium and Constantinople has captured the […] Full set of United Arab Emirates photos can be found here Going from Africa to Dubai is the travel equivalent of bingeing on a big bag of lollies and feeling slightly queasy afterwards. The taxis are brand new and have meters! We got a special pink roofed taxi from the airport signifying a female driver.

The hotel has a large lush garden populated by a sleepy dog, Skippy, and his unusual companion, a crested crane called […] View the full set of Usambara photos here At the Mafia Island airport we met some fellow Australian travellers from Adelaide, Katie and Ty. Ty has a Sudanese father and Australian mother. Ty and Katie had both been in South Sudan visiting him. We generally avoid Aussie tourists but these guys seemed like good eggs […] Full set of Mafia photos are here Sarah loves lying on the beach in the sun.
