Rooftop Lounge closed down. It was never busy and the staff were stealing. The mzungu owner gave up.

I went to Capital Sunday 8. 30 pm. About a dozen people there, half of them on the pool tables. A taxi driver said the place had been rammed 10 pm on the previous Friday.

Went to Rock Garden....

Tailpipe. No one wears masks in Diani.

I just got back from my 4th trip to Freetown and there's been a ludicrous attempt to sanitise the strip by bulldozing the shanty towns and putting up a strong of identikit bars along the beach that...

ET,

I just spent 45 minutes fact-checking your opinion on the above two. Thank you very much. Time well spent.

I haven't been to SL for a couple of years but I doubt the centre has got any easier on the eye or nerves. It's a grid-locked abrasive hellhole but if you can deal with it, you're a tougher bastard...

I've stayed at Parklands Shade a few times. Be aware that it's part of K1 club which gets busy Tuesdays & Thursdays especially, so for the average tourist it would be noisy, but for you it could be a...

I went there in 2016. Beautiful location but again there's nothing happening daytime and I saw the same faces in the same bar (Florida?) each night.

Hired a driver and went to Tulear. Took 3...

Recently came back from my fifth trip but first in 3 years. Mada hasn't changed much so I must have because I used to find it charming in a broken-down backwater kinda way but I was bored íand Diego,...

I'm going to bang the drum for Entebbe too although my last couple of visits I've been with a regular and not out so much. The UN footprint is lower than it used to be and some places closed or are...

Still open. The local imams would like to close it down but although the owners are Luo, they are close to Uhuru (President).

The women are hardcore in Casablanca. Negotiate hard.

I've taken the bus between the two cities several times. The bus is comfortable and the road is good. I wouldn't go overland to Zamboanga but that route is safe.

Although you're Australian one difference between the cities is that Mombasa is brutally hot compared to NBO, KLA & KIG right now. That said, it's probably the easiest introduction although yes,...

Spent the weekend in Kisumu. Always been curious as I know many Luo gals on the Coast. I never left the CBD where there is actually very little business going on. I imagine the city lost its purpose...

I remember those ATMs well. Also one in the Radisson Blu and outside The Hub. You can spend a lot of time going round looking for one that's working, getting stressed out about having no cash....

I've only been there twice and not for a year, but my experience in terms of bars / clubs was that Tandoori was the Casuarina of Diani and then afterwards Shakatak (100 m away and known as Shark...

Remember it well.

I'm going back to East Africa / Madagascar for the nth time soon and was thinking of making a side trip to Mauritius. I've RTFF going back 3 years and all I see is the same MPs (if they haven't been...

Tuesdays and Friday nights near Shanzu beach, they have a band. Slightly strange mix of families and malaya but worth it.

I've not been to Mada for 2 years but Nouvel Hotel was always a good bet late on. Maybe Taxi Be has killed it off like Vahine but I remember doing a head count and there were 19 chicas to every guy....

Because I hadn't been and some French guys claim it's Paradise. I went during the World Cup and so kept comparing it with 2014 when I had a great time in Rwanda / Burundi / Uganda. If I had just been...

Tommo of Arizona and then Mango died from complications after falling off his yacht a few weeks ago. Not the worst way to go.

RIP.

Thanks, Goferring.

Going on my umpteenth trip to The Phils soon but been planning a few weeks in Indonesia this time as well.

My passport is getting very full. It seems the Indo visa is a full page sticker rather...
