Worth visiting!

A review of this place

Epic trip! One of the most immense places i’ve ever seen..
Visually stunning.. Such an adventure..
Boiling hot..
Everyone i met was not uber friendly, but everyone i met was not Jordanian..
At the time of visiting, King Hussein had recently passed away, and the country was in mourning.. literally..
However, there are Roman amphitheatres (think it was Amman), relics galore, and the River Jordan is where John the Baptist did his work on JC.. surely this has to be one of the places you see before you die..
One more word.. Petra. :)

Bodrum

(in Turkey > Mugla)

Worth visiting!

How this place changed my life

Not what it once was, but do not let that stop you..
Though overrun with oiky tourists these days, Bodrum is shrouded in history, and there is much to see along those lines..
Bodrum Castle is impressive..
I feel it’s lost some of it’s splendour over the past few years, and though there are Gulets galore, i recommend Bodrum for the young at heart..
The nightlife is cracking.. laser show at the Halicarnassus Nightclub was an unforgettable experience..
For those of you not interested in that kind of thing, it is more than possible to get lost in the Turkish way of life here, but you’ll have to tuck yourself away from what has become an extremely popular destination.
Try other more remote, undiscovered parts first. :)

Mombasa

(in Kenya)

Worth visiting!

How this place changed my life

White sandy beaches, lit by the full moon..
Locals willing to swap gorgeous hand-carved ornaments for a pair of my white socks.. :)
THE BEST Chinese take-out i’ve ever had in my life.. (?)
Devestating culture shock of seeing children, no more than 8 years old, sniffing glue by the side of the main roads..
Shacks, mud-huts, markets..
Some of my life’s most memorable images come from this beautiful destination.
A real taste of Africa. :)

Though i still wonder about the “Asian Authority”.
