Caribbean-Anguilla This is the main Post office in The Valley the Capital of Anguilla. A large enough post office with a Philatelic Counter . Anguilla is known for its beaches, but I only spend the day here. The Valley is nothing to write home about. Came by Ferry from St.Martin |
 |
| This is the main street in the Valley |
 |
Caribbean-Antigua Here are some pics from Nelsons shipyard which is a World Heritage Site. Very interesting and well signed . |
 |
| The Main Post office of Antigua in St. John's . The Philatelic bureau is to the right and up the stairs. They have a full selection of stamps, the Post office mostly definitive stamps. |
 |
| Someone did not want me to take a photo inside the Post office.. !!!! not the first times |
 |
Asia-Afghanistan I have decided to show photos from my travels in Alphabetical order. More fun that way. So as you can see I am on A. These were taken in 2009 when I visited Kabul and Herat. Looking back I had a great time and loved the place. This photo is from Herat, a wonderful Mosque there. |
 |
| I came into Afghanistan via Pakistan on the Kyber pass.. |
 |
| Many abandoned tanks around especially in the countryside. |
 |
| Here I am outside the Main Post Office in Kabul. The security people looking after me were not happy that I wanted to go to a Government building , as they were do not taking anyone there, just in case. I was there for about 10 quick minutes , buying stamps and having a chat with the postmaster. Very friendly and helpful. |
 |
| All the shops are manned by men, even ones selling underclothes for ladies. One has to have a rest from time to time ! |
 |
| A typical shop in Afghanistan |
 |
| 3 Wise men...... |
 |
| The Police in Herat were very good and professional. This is a city in the west of Afghanistan near the border with Iran. |
 |
| When in Herat , it helped that some of the time I dressed like locals. Well the head gear is right at this stage.. |

Europe-Ireland-Clonakilty Just spent my Irish holidays in this southern part of the country. Very peaceful and cam , or that how is normally is. It rained non stop for the few days there, but still had the comfort of a spa hotel to relax. Well known area for good food . |
 |
| I thought it was interesting to show a stamp just issued featuring Irish Beef , since in this area. Not that you can see it on this card, but a first as we have just got Post codes in Ireland. However it is a bit of a mess right now.. No one is using them and the post office cant find your address if you just send a letter with a postcode on. My post code is K36 Y653. |
 |
| This is the Post office in Clonakilty. A former Church . Note we have green post boxes in Ireland. |
