Singapore Zoo and a Hawker Centre
Today started with a visit to the Singapore Zoo, which I had been wanting to visit since I was here back in 2007. Last time I was in Singapore, as I only had a couple of days here as a stopover, I decided to go for the Night Safari part […]
An afternoon in Bulawayo
We’re finally in Bulawayo, which is a place that I have wanted to visit for ages. The main attraction here for most overland groups is the Matobo National Park, and the opportunity to go walking with Rhinos, which we are doing tomorrow but I’ve had a really enjoyable day. The […]

Nampo & The Mass Games
I’m sat back at the Yanggakdo hotel right now after what has been a long but amazing day we saw so many things today and were finally able to see the Mass Games. I’m still in awe about the show, but more about that later. I got up at 6 […]
