Anyone else enjoying seeing him travel and share it with us again?

It was great. One day I hope to find the time to travel back to Iraq and see it in a different light. But for now, this will have to do.

Watched it, Palin is his usual wonderful self, but seeing Iraq from the inside is eye-opening, especially the Kurds, who usually seem to be the recipients of the shitty end of the stick from everyone, but who are managing to keep a vibrant society going.

Looking forward to the next two.

Well worth it. He's lost none of his interest in the people and places he visits.

I didnt know anything about this so thank you.

Absolutely fascinating part of the world with damn near 6000-6500 years of civilisation to its story.

The 'probable' birthplace of mathematics and many many other things.
