Amazing Acropolis Athens When a nine-year-old boy has a desire to see a city, then I think that is exciting. Explorason’s “Bucket List” had Sydney, New York, London, Paris, Rome and Athens on it. He wants to go to Thailand, Egypt, and China in the future. And the list is growing. So when we found […]
We have arrived in Athens. I drive around (and no – Athens traffic is not that crazy either), with a list of hotels to look at, and they all look pretty bad. We head to an area where we are due to have a conference, and the prices are sky high for hotels, or they […]
Yay – we explore Athens on a Segway How excited is this nine-year-old? On our world journey, we have tried several times to ride a Segway, but due to Explorason’s age, we never found a company that allowed it. But Athens Segway Tours were different. They have special smaller Segway that short adults and older […]
Travel – What places are on your Bucket List? Visiting Ancient Corinth and the Isthmus Canal Greece – world-schooling For as long as I can remember, I always wanted to go to Corinth.

999 steps to the top of Palamidi Fortress Nafplio Greece Nafplio in the Peloponnese region of Greece seems to be a town that comes alive at night. We wanted to only take the basic things into the hotel, and so we had selected one where we could see the car from our room. But little […]
Learning to weave in Tsakonia Greece Many of you may have thought we crashed our car…. Or given up blogging…. Or fallen off the face of the earth…. Or quit traveling…. Or …… But no – it has been over a month since my last blog was posted, and only because my Apple Mac laptop […]
Living like a King and Queen Staying in a castle on an island – Monemvasia Woah – what is that over there, Explorason asks as we drive along the Peloponnese Coast of Greece? There before us, it appears to be a fort and castle, attached to the mainland by a causeway. Beautiful cacti lined the […]
Stoupa (Peloponnese Greece) is Stupendous This sunset has a lot to answer for! We are driving along the coast, and had no idea there was a small tourist town down a little side road. All I knew was there was an incredible sunset, and I wanted a photograph. So here I am in Greece, chasing […]
A boat ride 250 meters underground through Diros Caves – Mani Peloponnese Greece Down the mouth of the cave, we go, donning life jackets and stepping precariously into a very flat small wooden boat. It is a tight squeeze. We must leave backpacks and handbags in the car. And we are told not to move or […]
Foreigners buying a car in England and driving it in Europe I’m writing this blog with detailed information, in the hope, it can assist other travelers not to waste hours and hours of their precious traveling time running around in circles. There is so little information on buying a vehicle overseas, so I hope this contains […]
Blarney Church Ireland, and a coming together of churches I had been in Ireland for over a week, and one of the reasons I have stayed around in the Cork area is because I was invited to share at an International Day of Prayer. This is to be held in the Blarney Church, but what […]
Airport Security – practice it first…. When all is said and done, your child is your most valuable possession on this trip. Traveling with a child through a busy airport, with all your possessions can be a lot to juggle, even with kids who have traveled before. So is there a way of making family […]
