Messerschmitt KR200 'Bubble Car' 1956

If you want to know what sort of automotive cards to send me, here's a cracker from .. you guessed it .. Sabine

Madagascar

Malagasy girl

I sent this card to my daughter back in 2003 during my last (and only) visit to Madagascar. It is a fascinating country to visit, but also sad in so many ways.

Botswana: the new regiment

I certainly don't get too many cards from Botswana - and my travel pal, Philip Game, is the only one I know who's ever been there. And what a set of stamps!

Hotel and Resort Postcards

Hi Folks, Yes I've added a new category to my postcard preferences - Hotels. I spend so much time in these places and especially enjoy the old classics with stories to tell. If you have some, let's swap.

Below are some examples of cards I have sent and received. These include modern, fancy hotels as well as old tumble-down ones out in the countryside.

Classic Japanese Postcards

Japan does paper so well. I could spend hours in the Japanese shops - and do!

Taiwan Kitsch

Our ship took an unexpected detour to Taiwan and I picked up some unusual postcards from the little gift shop at the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall. You find the coolest cards in these places.

Hamburg Australien Dampfschiff Gesellschaft

The funny thing about about this card is that my postcard hero, Sabine, wonders: "not sure if you like it". (!) Sabine, it's brilliant.
