Just checked, the bridge is actually called Ponte Luis bridge, it's the double decker one that the trams go over.
If you cross it heading south, there are lots of eateries and drinkeries along the foreshore, a bit cheaper than the northern side, and the Mercado Rio foodhall is a must do
Looks amazing. Would love to go somewhere out in the far east and that was originally our plan. However the Mrs is in early stages of IVF so can’t have any injections that would be needed to go over there. Same with Tanzania as that looks amazing as well.
So a bit restricted to more of the Atlantic side. Aruba looks good but flights seem to be a nightmare from the UK in February.

Fair enough, probably save it for when the future bambino is a few years old.
Filipinos love kids so you'd have a lot of help and care.
Not sure what injections you'd need? Ive never had anything new for Asia.
My mate just came back from Bali and said he needed to have some. Iv not been to Asia so just going on what he said.

Bali is different mate.
For Bali think of an island with traffic jams, loads (yes LOADS) of drunk scummy Australians in the 'local' spots (Seminyak, Kuta etc), drunk off their nuts morning to night with the women yelling like coked up yanks all the time and every sentence a question.
Not to mention the locals who will try and harass you to buy all sorts of crap. Bred to scam.
A lot of 'nature' meaning a 'Monkey Forest' in a dump of a place called UBUD + a few other formerly average/good level beaches ruined with stray dogs, trash and dodgy people. The snaps of rice paddies masterfully leave out the building sites next door and pile ups of trash.
Its a place where you see the influencers populate in the media but guaranteed they dont leave the hotel aside from 1 day to pop around the sites for a snap.
When you have mosquitoes everywhere, unfriendly monkeys and more stray dogs walking along broken pavements and on the beaches themselves than you would ever see in a lifetime then you're going to need shots of everything.
Places like Boracay & Palawan are actual island paradise with the white beaches and amazing coloured water. Friendly people everywhere and you may get the odd local asking you to buy something, a simple "no thanks" and they wont bother you again.
Also 4hrs flight between them so shots i dont think would be needed for Philippines.
No, you don't need any shots for Bali. I've been about a dozen times and never had any
Bogan is an aussie term. You will recognise them by their bintang singlets, horrible tattoos, fake Oakley sunnies, mullet and the general rudeness they display while getting drunk at 10am. They apparently get bonus points if they sit at the pool bar drinking for 8 hours without once leaving their seat to pee.
Other than that, we're a great bunch of blokes
hahaha...never heard "bogan" before but this is the wikipedia photo accompanying the article for Bogan. Given your description, this picture says a thousand words, indeed.
for the full experience, you have to search "Bali bogan" and click on images.
You're welcome
An abomination. So bad I went to Rosati's for a slice of New York style and witnessed some crazy African American woman threaten to shoot the server because they'd ran out of pepperoni. I like pepperoni but...

Likely to be heading to Bangladesh (not sure which part just yet, probably Dhaka) for work in the near future. Part of the World I've not been to before so if anyone has worked or just travelled there before any info or tips welcomed.
Just back from a 5 day break in our happy place (Croatia) and took in another trip to Montenegro which has really come on leaps and bounds since we were there in 2019. Great place if anyone is looking for somewhere to try that's easily accessible.
Also interested in any feedback on Albania which keeps cropping up in our travel discussions.

I loved Albania. I had 5 weeks in Croatia, Montenegro and Albania last year, Albania was my clear favourite.
Tirana is a really cool city - ahead of Montenegro in terms of tourism but not as evolved as Croatia's. Think of it as the Manchester of the Adriatic (maybe not the best analogy on a scousers forum though
) but it just has that same type of working class, vibrant, creative don't give a feck attitude, and the women are gorgeous- it's like there are 100,00 Dua Lipa clones walking around. Prices are similar to Montenegro. The walking tours are really informative, some of the stories they tell of the communism years are a real eye opener, and the tour of the nuclear bunker in the foothills was amazing. The cable car trip up the mountain is a must do - amazing views over the city and beyond on clear days.We also spent some time in Vlore - the beaches are ok (Being a West Australian I do have very high standards) but the foreshore with all it's restaurants is lovely, but a bit pricier. Lots of tourists were just getting beers from the local corner shops and drinking them on the beach which is prefectly acceptable.
The only negative experience I had was the little fish that constantly nibble your toes while you are in the water - little bar stewards
