We are having a wonderful time on our travels so far.
We have seen some incredible cities, buildings, art works, landscapes and ruins. There is just so much to see. l never realised how amazing the world was.
I really enjoyed the middle eastern countries because they are quiet different. You have to get used to a different way of thinking and acting. In some respects they are so helpful and giving.. it is quiet astonishing. If you ask for directions they will give them to you even if they don´t know where you are going. On the other hand there is always someone else trying to scam you, rip you off or sell you a damn carpet. And for some reason they have some of the best ruins in the world. Old monuments that just overwhelm your senses. The ruins of ephesus, pyramids, petra..
The European countries are choca block with beautiful old builidings and churches. And some of the best food in the world. I´m still dreaming about pitza for Naples and pesto from Genoa.
Ive had a few accidents along the way:
-I dislocated my shoulder in Turkey
-I electrocuted myself in Cairo
-I got stuck in the train doors in Cairo
-Got food poisining by chicken in Luxor
-Lost the ability to move for three days after riding on a camel for six hours in Jordan
-Got a haircut in Sienna where the hairdresser only spoke Italian
Evana has had a few but we choose not to talk about them.
-fallen into an asian toilet
-propositioned in madrid after standing alone on the wrong street corner
-and that small car accident in greece where she drove down a one way street and pranged a few cars on the way
And in Spain we got our passports stolen.
We´ve stayed in a couple strange places
-a restored ottoman house
-a cave
-a treehouse
-a castle
-a victorian mansion
-a bedioun tent in the middle of the desert
-a flee and mosquito infested hostel in Egypt
-a B&B in the red light district
Its been a fantastic experience. As Oscar Wilde said "life is to important to be taken seriously"
