So far I’ve been lucky enough to have visited 72 countries…

In the meantime, a little project to keep me busy, is to add all the unpublished travel writings. The pressure is now on Alie to pull her finger out and add the most recent joint holidays. Meanwhile I shall delve into my boxes of Kodak films and holiday notes and endeavour to start adding my pre 2001 / pre internet / pre email holidays. A tough task on the old memory, but I’m really looking forward to it and it certainly will keep me busy!
Below is a list of whats to come:
- China – 2000
- Russia – 1999
- The Stans – 1998
- Iran – 1997
