Special Leftovers

SPECIAL LEFTOVERS Cobblers Tavern food review
It breaks my heart. I normally have nothing but reserved praise for Cobblers Tavern, my local Falcon haunt that I use a lot, but what I just ate was nothing short of gravel posing as pie.

If you have to…

COUNTRY LODGE HOTEL Freetown Sierra Leone
Where to begin? This is not a hotel. It is a convenience in a place where few alternatives exist. It is an overpriced motel that lives off historical prestige that the current owners thrive off and milk you for. But it does have a view!

Royal Phuket City Hotel review

ROYAL PHUKET CITY HOTEL humorous review
I simply cannot believe that a brand like Virgin Airlines would ever want any one of their customers, (let alone their pool staff), to be housed at this bug-riddled piece of guano. And now, suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder from my experience at this hotel, this is what I have to say…

Swim With The Humpback Whales in Exmouth

SWIM WITH THE HUMPBACK WHALES IN EXMOUTH
It felt like eight freight trains were riding towards me on a phosphorous crescent and I had no idea where to go but into the water. Eight of us sat suited and masked-up, hugging our knees.   Silent.   All of a sudden, the boat veered sharply to the left.  My heart beat quickened. I

SOLO PASTA

SOLO PASTA REVIEW MOUNT LAWLEY
I felt a bit like Bruce Wayne (a.k.a. Batman) when my phone rang and the filtered message went out like this: “Solo Pasta. Mount Lawley. 3pm.” I love surprises and this was not one I expected but it did make me go WTF! Solo Pasta is the brain-child of Chef Gil Lewkowicz whose worldwide CV

Double-Six Luxury Hotel Seminyak Review

DOUBLE SIX LUXURY HOTEL SEMINYAK HOTEL REVIEW
I rolled the dice and got a double six! Yes, yes….I can hear your sarcastic groans, as you writhe over my awful cliché comment. But then, that’s the prerogative of a writer sitting on his side of the screen. He has artistic licence to lob literary hand grenades at the mooing crowds! The first time
