It seems like more like days, not hours since we left Tunisia. Last night we managed to get a taxi but paid a hefty price, because it is Ramadan in Tunis. They are all eating their “breakfast” meal and so this means that taxis were scarce and more than double the price. After a round-about […]
Newcastle is quite a happening city now. It is in the north of England, not too far from the border of Scotland. We have just sold our car and have decided to stay on a couple more days, as we want to give Explorason some time to have some fun. The past few weeks have […]
We are finally leaving Continental Europe after nearly a year of road travel. It has been an amazing year, and it has been a bit like a marathon race these past few months to get back here in time with the car. The insurance expires the day after we arrive back at midday. (Our last […]
We woke early this morning for our long drive to Paris from the Pyrenees at the top of Spain, near Andorra. We were excited yesterday to be heading to the beautiful center of the “City of Love” where we had visited last year as part of our world trip. Unfortunately, I woke with a really nasty […]
We have decided to end our time in Catalunya, by hopefully relaxing in the Pyrenees of Spain at Hotel Muntanya and Spa – Cerdanya Resort. It took most of the day to get here because we left Lloret de Mar in the morning and took the back and mountainous roads that zigzagged around the hills. […]
We have just finished the most amazing month in Costa Brava, a region near the top right section of Spain in an area called Catalunya. We have been here for a travel writers conference called TBEX and decided to come and stay for a little time earlier than the Congress, and stay a little longer […]

As we drive along the coast of Italy today, we are delighted to see the ocean for the first time in months, and we feel we are leaving Winter behind us. It is a beautiful seaside known as Riviera Dei Fiori, The Riviera of Flowers – Sanremo. You may have grown up hearing of Sanremo as […]
The sun is setting outside of our window, and the sky starts to twinkle with the lights of the historical town, and Petrin Tower is lit in the distance on the nearby hill. It is here I sit at my window and am in awe of how silent the evening is, yet we are in […]
When we decided to come to Serbia to celebrate my 53rd birthday, we were delighted when we found the amazing Dash Star Hotel that is just out of the main center of Novi Sad, Serbia – but only 5 minutes by car into the thriving little city. We parked outside in their private car park […]

The perfect place for us to base ourselves to explore the famous wooden churches and monasteries in the area. It is a luxury hotel that has been recently renamed and captures the […]
