So without further ado here we go....Leaving London we flew to LAX slept in the airport for the night surprisingly tolerable and then flew up to Vanvouver where we got to Whistler about 30 hours after leaving London. PhewWe stayed with Dan's brother Nick and his partner Sophie in their critic http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/Mexico/Quintana-Roo/Playa-del-Carmen/blog-236549.html Just a short prechristmas blog update....From Aswan in Egypt we took a Felucca on Captain Nemo's Washington boat down the nile to Luxor. We suspect he wasn't the real Nemo we had been recommended and it was one of many Washington's but his crew Mahmoud and Ahmed managed to safely navigate us down the nile for 2 days and nights so it really didn't matter. The first night we went into Mahmoud' http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/United-Kingdom/England/Greater-London/Chiswick/blog-229323.html Sorry for the lame title we've been up since 3amSince our last blog your intrepid or at least tepid travellers grabbed their packs and headed to the Lycian Way. The Lycian Way is a long distance hiking trail along the southern Anatolian coast. We were dropped of by a crazy old taxi driver who took us on a hair raising ride to a cliff face in the middle of nowhere.

So here goes...We left Bamberg and headed down the yet another lamely named Romantic Road where we popped into the almost ridiculously well preserved walled city of Rothenberg. Whilst fighting our way through hoards of grandparents I almost expected to see lepers begging on the streets and criminals hanging from the rafters.We then hea http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Spain/Catalonia/Cadaqu-s/blog-205483.html Weve been on the road for 3 weeks or so and theres been no time for blogging. However the rain has started falling again so here we are.The trip started off well with a visit to Dans cousins in Edinburgh. Great city full of fringe festival. However things took a turn for the worse as we headed up to north Scotland in our wee rental..... We arrived on the west coast to find it the home of the http://www.travelblog.org//Europe/Germany/Bavaria/Bamberg/blog-197163.html Dan wants to give you a line by line itinery including planned dates and mode of transport eg camel on Thursday but I have drawn the boring card to save you all.
