Na eerst goed uitgeslapen te hebben (we konden tot 12u uitchecken) genoten we van een uitgebreid ontbijt! Uiteindelijk kwam de haven in zicht. Nore keek genteresseerd naar de windmolens en ik nam fotos van de verkeerde ferry. 😊 Daar moesten we met ongeveer 30 a 40 cm voor, achter en tussen de andere autos gaan staan, wat het uitladen niet zo evident maakte 😊 Na ons door dit sardinenblik v Read on...
What can I say about Saturday 12th March in Roses on the Spanish Costa Brava. It was WET. Actually it was wet all the way from the top of the East coast of Spain right down to the bottom and in fact the rain which really started in earnest that day (previous showers had just been practice runs) continued for about 4 weeks ruining many Spainish spring holidays. The campsite man had told me it hadnt Read on...
Dubai is a dream city and one of the most photogenic places ever. It is one of the most visited places among any other tourist destination in the world. The majestic skyscrapers, beautiful parks, and beautiful gardens filled with gorgeous flowers attract tourists here in Dubai. Not only do the highways here provide the best facilities to roam here, but there are options full of beautiful views her Read on...
Belgians Ive met have said Brussels is surprisingly sketchy and thats certainly the impression I had venturing out from Midi Station. It didnt seem fitting for the capital of the EU, though I suppose some would claim it is fitting. But once in the city center the scene shifts to a high concentration of waffle stands, chocolate shops and Delirium umbrellas. And architecture that rivals the other g Read on...
We had a bit of a late start and got the subway down to Brooklyn. We went to a little bakery that Zack knows about and got some lunch and were going to walk back over the Brooklyn Bridge but a storm started and the rain was pelting down so we couldnt. We got the subway back and stopped at Little Island. Again, we couldnt go in because of the storm and lightning so we ended up getting an Uber back Read on...
We travelled also before we joined TravelBlog. We have started to digitalise photos from those trips and we are planning to write about some of them. Now the turn to a trip Ake made to North Cyprus in 2006. North Cyprus was invaded by Turkey in 1974 and has since then been occupied by Turkey. This situation has left North Cyprus somewhat isolated from the rest of Europe. From what I understand, Read on...
It is unclear if James Cook ever lived in Cooks Cottage. It was build in England by his parents when James Cook was already an adult. The house was dismantled in the brought to Australia, and rebuilt in a park in Melbourne. We travelled also before we joined TravelBlog.

It was dear Shell Greyhound (aka Michelle Edwards) who put the idea into my head. She missed my travel blogs this year and suggested I blog about my time in isolation. Hardly riveting reading, I thought at first. But then I mulled over it and decided it would be a fun thing to do and, if nothing else, it would give me some amusement during ISO_2.0. So, here goes. Living as we do in Melbourne, Ros Read on...
In late 2002 we decided to take all three of our offspring on a serious overseas adventure together for the first time. We eased them into any potential culture shock by spending the first week still in our homeland, at the Couran Cove Resort on South Stradbroke Island just north of the Gold Coast. It mightnt have been all that far in distance from the Coast, but we might as well have been on the Read on...
