Zahra (my seamstress friend) and I drove down to Melindas cute hostel (Pequeo Paraso) to measure for curtains and Mel made the most amazing brunch!

And what a journey we had! Weve been home for several days now, and Im rested enough to do my blog. We covered a lot of ground over our month long trip, had lots of great experiences, drank lots (beer, wine, spritzes), ate lots (grilled fish, pasta, pizza, gelato), and walked about a million steps, up hills and down hills, up stairs and down stairs 😂. If you‘re thinking of visiting Croatia ( Read on...

After our first night aboard ship we woke well rested and eager for the day ahead. We enjoyed an excellent breakfast with a view of the water as the ship moved swiftly toward our first destination. By 10:00 am the ship had docked at Pier Alfonso XII Cruise Terminal in the natural harbor of Cartagena. This important harbor was established as a major naval center by the Carthaginians in 227 BC.

Wha a day! We were docking as we woke this morning. After a leisurely breakfast up in the cafe we prepared ourselves and went ashore - today was so much better organised than yesterday. We were able to just walk off. We weren‘t able walk to town though, it is a working dock and we had to be bussed off. So we caught shuttle to the local bus stop for a local bus to take us to the base station of a Read on...
Well it was time to save and publish another few days of blogs so if you have not been following on your own you might want to resume from Day 18 posted a few days ago.
Alarm went off at 7.45am and I headed straight to the window and I saw clouds with what appeared to be a resemblance of blue sky as well. Yippee. We did most of the packing last night and we had minimal breakfast supplies in the r Read on...
Yesterday was mostly a driving day from Manapouri to Arrowtown so not too much to report other than we stopped at Te Anau for an hours walk on the lake front and also at Kingston to check it out at the foot of Lake Wakatipu. We are now based at Settlers Cottage Motel for most of the next week. We chose this place as its the least like a motel and more like a homely cottage which it is. A good choi Read on...
Today we enjoyed breakfast outside on the patio at our Holiday Inn Express in Chadron, Nebraska. I had fun showing Ed the pancake machine. Its one that you just push a button and it makes your pancake and shoots them out on your plate! It doesnt take much to entertain me!! I am starting to get my taste back but just certain things. Today I ate a piece of bacon that tasted like bacon. I still cant Read on...
Day 95 and I have covered more than 282 miles under lockdown . I am amazed at how many miles I have walked and got nowhere . Start off from home and end up at home. As I walked I wondered how many miles it was around the Earth (At home checked tinterweb the oracle and it told me 24, 901 - so only another 24,619 more miles to walk and I can say I have circumnavigated the globe by foot ). Not far th Read on...
So we left you on a cliffhanger... had the parcel arrived, well of course it hadnt, so we decided to cross the unnoticed into Slovenia. Our idea was to stay close to the Border so we could drive back when or if the parcel arrived.
It turn out that at our first stop we find that Slovenia has gone into stricter lockdown and proves the case when we are almost unable to buy a glass of wine at the hil Read on...
