Athens

It was an earlish start for us, with a pickup at 5:00 a.m. Although we’d booked a taxi, we both agreed our driver seemed more suited to robbing banks. He was fast—getting us to Stansted in about an hour, the drive just a blur. We thought that by taking a weekend flight, the airport wouldn’tContinueContinue reading “Athens”

An ambitious travel plan: Djebra to Sicily

After three incredibly enjoyable months, it’s time for a new adventure. Tunisia has truly surprised us, and we’ve met some of the kindest people since we started our travels nearly two years ago. From market traders and cab drivers to fishermen and our wonderful hosts, everyone has warmly welcomed us into their country. It’s difficultContinueContinue reading “An ambitious travel plan: Djebra to Sicily”

Heading south to Mahdia

We have really enjoyed our time in Carthage and the boundless hospitality of our lovely host Hedia. However, it is time to move on and see what else Tunisia has to offer. Our comfortable car arrived late Saturday morning for what was to be a 220km journey south. The main highway runs through the middleContinueContinue reading “Heading south to Mahdia”

It’s been a strange 3, or 4 days. Morocco doesn’t get a lot of rain, but we’ve been here for a few of those days and it’s been very welcome to the farming community. Watching the rain coming down through the centre of our Riad has made for some interesting viewing, it’s also turned itContinueContinue reading “A trip to a Berber village & kitesurfing”

Salé and the strange allure of the urban cityscape

I’m still enjoying wondering around the depths of this interesting city. Everyone seems to get on with everyone else and there’s a sense of calm wherever I seem to go, maybe it’s me! And even though the car horns are very well exercised, I’ve not witnessed anything remotely close to road-rage. The newer buildings areContinueContinue reading “Salé and the strange allure of the urban cityscape”

Our final week in Turkey, back to the UK for a while

Our 3 Months are up in Turkey and as this is was our last week. We’d decided to take it easy and leave a few things to do when we return, Yep we’ve decided that we’re going to return in September although we’re not sure for how long. I’m loving our little daily routine ofContinueContinue reading “Our final week in Turkey, back to the UK for a while”

Kisler – Kalkan

We loaded the taxi with our 4 cases and a couple of boxes, filled with foodie bits, essentially provisions that we’ve taken a liking too and weren’t sure that we’d be able to get outside of Antalya, together with some kitchen utensils that we seem to end up buying in every country we land inContinueContinue reading “Kisler – Kalkan”
