Walking the crumbing streets of #Bissau the capita

Walking the crumbing streets of #Bissau the capital of #GuineaBissau 🇬🇼 one of the least visited countries in the world and one of the poorest.
.
I was forced to sneak a few pictures, as there is a lot of paranoia about taking pictures here and the Presidential palace is in the background.
.
.
Driving down from Senegal a lot of the roads are in poor condition but I found the city of Bissau to be very laid back and nobody really hassles you at the markets. I also went to an outdoor bar last night with a great atmosphere drinking SuperBock beer on the street! 🍺 Looking forward to visiting Saltinho Falls in the east of the country on the way to Guinea.

#IraqiKurdistan this is know as that safe part of Iraq it is a semi automomous in the north of the country run by the Kurdish people.
This is Saddams's old palace in the north of the country, right on top of the mountain.
I traveled here with a local guide that I highly recommend- Karwan. Msg for details .
The guys with me are members of the Kurdish Persmerga forces who helped battle against ISIS and prevent them spreading and gaining further ground...they told me some crazy stories...
.
After this trip I wanted to travel to Mosul which is ISIS's stronghold in Iraq although they have recently been pushed out. Unfortunately, we were meant to have an Iraqi general Joining us on this trip to Mosul as it required us passing through 4+ check points some operated by Iraqi militia but his wife was very sick...we ended up, traveling towards Kirkurk, located in Iraqi 'proper'

Ahaggar National Park in the deep south of Algeria

Ahaggar National Park in the deep south of Algeria right beside the Niger, Mali and Libyan borders. Magnificent Desolation! #Tamanrasset #Algeria .
.
Great place to end 10 days in Algeria visiting Algiers, Cherchell, Tipasa, Constantine, Tagit and Tamanrasset.
.
.
You can see how big Algeria is being the 10th biggest country in the world and the biggest in Africa after Sudan was broken up.

Getting back to visit #Egypt 🇪🇬 after a nearly 10 year absence.
.
The Great Pyramids of Giza and the Mosque of Muhammad Ali overlooked Cairo - the second biggest city in Africa and a crazy loud metropolis
.
Last time I was here I missed out on Abu Simbel in the deep south next to the Sudanese border. Mostly because at the time I was far too lazy to get up at 3am for a 7-8 hour journey there and back from Aswan! 😂 After already spending weeks crossing Sudan in the 48°C heat in the peak of summer followed by the overnight ferry from Wadi Halfa.
.
I also got to explore Luxor and the Valley of the Kings, where I was invited to jump the barrier and enter the tomb! 🙈
.
Then on to Alexandria the second biggest city in Egypt and the ancient city named after Alexander the Great right on the beautiful Mediterranean coast. .

Exchanging money in #Hargeisha the capital of the unrecognised country of #Somaliland
.
I travelled up to Somaliland overland from Ethiopia on the way up to Berbera on the coast, stopping along the way to see some of the most untouched Cave paintings in the world.
.
Recognised by the UN as being part of Somalia proper (from 2photos ago). But Somaliland which is located in the northern part of Somalia just across the Gulf of Aden from Yemen. Somaliland has its own laws, currency, football team (although not recognised by FIFA) they play other unrecognised countries like Sealand (an old oil rig of the coast of England) which Somaliland getting their very first win at 2-0 🤣

Merry Christmas from #TheBasilicaofOurLadiesofPeaceofYamoussoukro #Yamoussoukro #IvoryCoast 🇨🇮 with the backwards Irish flag!
The Basilica here is even bigger than St Peters Basilica in the Vatican. From top of the dome to the bottom it's 150 metres. The seats inside even have air conditioning built in, and fibre glass backrests on the seats to draw the music down towards the seats. One of the most impressive buildings I've seen on the inside!
