Read about what I did before: Part 1, Part 2 , Part 3 and Part 4 Wednesday 28 JuneAfter a long, deserved sleep and a hearty breakfast of more typical fare, Marion and I were given some of Zak’s mother and sister’s traditional clothes worn at weddings to try on.

See Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3 Tuesday 27 June (continued)Once we arrived back in Erfoud, we stopped at a pharmacy to buy drops for my eye which by then was severely irritated and the pharmacist told me I had conjunctivitis, which did not really come as a surprise.

Travelogue: Morocco [2006] – part 3 {the Sahara}
See Part 1 and Part 2 Monday 26 JuneThe plan was to wake up and watch sunrise but I must have missed it by a few minutes.

Travelogue: Kaunas – where devils enchant
I thought I'd first post a travel essay I wrote for a competition back in 2015. This story goes a further 8 years back...yes all the way to July 2007. I was in Lithuania with my best friend Marion, just over a week into our back-backing trip around central and eastern Europe. As I explain,… Continue reading Travelogue: Kaunas – where devils enchant
Return to blogging v.2020
It seems odd to start a travel blog in 2020, the year that travel ground to a halt for at least a few months and when travel might never be quite the same again. Pandemic aside, I still expect I'll travel less in this decade than I did in the previous one. So why now?… Continue reading Return to blogging v.2020
