Greetings From Seychelles

just captured a reef shark o stills and video while diving off of Beau Vallon on the island of Mahe in the Seychelles, my 159'th country. This place is paradise. Everytime I look around there's another postcard view. The African Asian crossroads is even more pronounced here than it was back in Zanzibar. Going diving again in an hour life is tough lol

Back in the Heat

back in the heat 29 C after dusting off francais in Chad and the Boro Festival in the Sahel for l off the grid  in a 4x4's. Everything is cool otherwise health okay loving Gala Beer one of the best in Africa Now I'm here here in Zanzibar. Staying on the fringe of Stonetown in a traditional house of moorish design. Just finished two dives on the coral reef steaming out in a traditional dhow seafood here is awesome curried octopus and such. Taking a boat back to the mainland tomorrow after visiting the monkeys in the Nat. Park I should feel among peers lol

In transit

landed in Llubjana Slovenia en route to Vienna from Istanbul

Survived Iraq

Yeah just left Erbil am delayed in Cairo en route to Istanbul.  Am surrounded by rif raf  I guess that I'm still alive is a boon

Arrived in Baku

Yeah made it to Baku on the Caspian Sea.  This is the end of the line on this trip anyway.  Toured the Penninsula checking out teh awsome fire temple and petroglyphs dating back to 10000 BC  This city stri9kes me as a cross between Dubai and Brussels. with Istanbul's undercurrent.  Promenades with Vafa have been wonderful  Going to the Cinema tommorow -pot luck there 3 days left to get some serious writing done Amen and Cheers.

Landed in Ganja

I'm refering to the bleak city in the West of Azerbaijan of course. lol Heading to Baku This marks my 157'th country

Greetings From Georgia

just crossed into Georgia and I already miss Armenia but I guess it's just contrast  Still give it a shot and see what my 156'th country brings today Tblisi is a nice city but after a night out I feel it's got a lot in common with Riga Latvia in other words impersonal and cold
