I am back at work from today, but as I am starting to work through what is a mountain of work waiting for me, please give me about a week to get through it all.
For those that are interested here are some pictures of my trip. Overall, I think Egypt, Morocco, the Baltic countries (great value for Australians as they speak English there, the food, alcohol and prices in general are good and cheap) and Russia all are exceptionally interesting places. For an English speaker like me, Morocco can present some problems as the primary foreign language spoken is French, although they can handle English and the food can get a bit monotonous. Finland I would suggest giving a miss as there is little to see there.
