Hurry Up and Wait

January 26th, 2010 Swagger Sauce

Dad and I could do one of two things. We could either rent a car, drive north into the mountains, and see monasteries and the villages or take public transportation and explore the Danube River Delta and the Black Sea Coast. Visiting the villages is an attractive option, because in many parts of Romania the  Read More »

Preparation & Planning

January 26th, 2010 Adelina & Roger

We initially planned the trip for July 08, but had to put it on hold. Now, before the Christmas vacation and before our dogs arrive in Sydney, we decided it is the right time.. now or never.. to embark on the journey!
That means planing and preparation have to be fast. The first choice was the  Read More »

Day 1

January 26th, 2010 Adelina & Roger

Today is the big day! The alarm rang 6 am, but we kept delaying the getting up until 8.30. We picked up our campervan, which took two hours because we were stuck in rush hour traffic jam. So, the day started very slow so far. However, we packed all our stuff within the hour and  Read More »

Hi once again,
I’m once again back in Fes after a little 3 day trip that Megan and I took up to Tangier and the Rif Mountains.
We started out on Tuesday morning with a little trip to the medina for some train snacks. I’m addicted to the bread and the olives here, so good. Anyways, our  Read More »

The oldest colonial city in Central America

January 26th, 2010 David&Kyra

Our first night we spent at the Oasis, a hostel in the center of Granada. The rooms are small but the shared area is quite beautiful. The pool and gardens are in an open air courtyard. There are a number of hammocks along the garden for quick napping and resting.

Day 2

January 26th, 2010 Adelina & Roger

After yesterday’s blog, we sorted the bed out. The bed is on top and the room between head and roof rather tiny. We are not even able to crawl on all four. After trying to sleep for a couple of hours, Adelina decided that it was too claustrophobic. She got out of the van to  Read More »

Day 3

January 25th, 2010 Adelina & Roger

We reached Seaspray on the 90 Miles Beach safely. That seemed today not a certainty at all times, but that is the end of the story, let’s start at the beginning. We woke up on a sunny morning after spending the night in the downstairs bedroom. After a walk along the lake we packed up  Read More »

Vuelo a Londres

January 25th, 2010 Nivariense

El vuelo a Londres lo hice sin ningún contratiempo. La salida estaba prevista para las 7,30 de la tarde y como ya había facturado on – line entré directamente a la sala de espera.
El vuelo duró poco más de dos horas y media por lo que a las diez y media (hora británica) ya estaba  Read More »

Day 4

January 25th, 2010 Adelina & Roger

The rain didn’t stop during the night and the roof window of our campervan was leaking. A good start with the new car! However, the car was driving well and without problems. We may never know what all was wrong with the last one.
Victoria weather was cloudy and every now and then it poured. We  Read More »

Day 5

January 25th, 2010 Adelina & Roger

We stayed another day in Melbourne and in the morning we were greeted with blue sky and sunshine. The wind still made it a bit cold, but a great improvement to yesterday.
Today is Melbourne Cup, the most famous horse race in Australia and a public holiday in Melbourne. After sleeping in, we decided to go  Read More »
