I was whisked back to the days when, as a kid, I used to pore over maps, wondering what it was like to steam down the Zambezi or visit the iron mountains in the north west of Australia.
I was one of those annoying childen who knew the capital of Chad (FortLamy in those days but now N'djamina) and the colonial name of Malawi.
In time that developed into the urge to be a globetrotter and for a while war reporting sounded like my idea of fun but by the time I was old enough I concluded that the wars in Beirut and Afghanistan really did not appeal that much.
