    I loved Marrakech. Jamaa el Fna square is one of the most fun and magical places to be at night time. I have to say, Marrakech is one of the best places I have been to for culture and cuisine.

    Went to a hilltribe village yesterday to paint the outside of the classrooms. When we'd finished for the day this a photo of the team and the kids;

    It's more of a soup than a western style curry. There's also a dish which is far better called Khao Soi (pronounced Cow Soy). It's a curry that originated in the Burmese hills although Thailand will try and take the credit. It's a coconut based curry with noodles at the base and crispy noodles on top and traditionally it has a chicken drumstick thrown in. Now that is amazing..

    I love this photo.

    Taken in the waters of Monkey Mia in western Australia. We were told a story by the rangers who work there that there is a dolphin who they have named Piccolo that was fed a fish when she was young and now every now and again she comes into the shallows with a fish in her mouth as if in a gesture of offering before she flips it head first and swallows it. The pic is of Piccolo showing me the yellow-tailed fish just before she decided to eat it.

    There's a pod of around 22 dolphins that come in periodically and swim in fairly shallow water so you're almost guaranteed to be able to swim with them. Fantastic part of the world

    I never realised how big the uncovered Pompeii was, literally streets full, found it an incredible experience.

    Much more off the beaten track photos though, they're the ones I love seeing. The one thing I didn't like about the Naples area was the racism, made my girlfriend really uncomfortable at points, especially on the train with people almost crowding around us and talking about her just saying random words like "Japanese" etc.

    Ignorant pricks, it's unacceptable in 2014. It's times like that you realise how good the UK is.

    Yes, I think he was on my wife's Facebook at one point and one of her mates - a stripper from Belem- was up for a chunk of him.
