Welcome back! Hey PA,
Didn't realise you were going to be over here, but given your normal travel I guess you're long gone. Good news, the seals, dolphins and whales have been back in Kaikoura!
500 & counting Congrats Peter...500 blogs...zillions of destinations. What better place to enjoy it. A milestone that should rate among your best. Hope we meet again somewhere, some place, sometime. Congrats again. i'll have a Cricketer's Lager to celebrate!
Thanks Dave! I should have made a note of the 500 blogs! Should be something like blogs something like over 120 countries in just short of 10 years. Let see if I can keep the pace! In South Africa currently....but will be in Aus next week...sadly not in Sydney this trip!
No tourists? Sounds like the perfect time to visit Turkey as you say Peter. The essential is to be well informed so you can assess the risk. That's how we did Mali when it was a "Do not Travel." The Travel Camel often does it this way as well. And to have Cappadocia virtually to yourselves...nice. If you check out my Bolivia...Following the Dakar Rally blogs we did not see another tourist for 5 days! Perfect time or what!!! Thanks for letting us know Turkey is safe.
Central Asia We seem to have trodden some pretty similar paths over the last couple of months. I've thoroughly enjoyed reading your accounts and checking out your pics. If you are interested in reading a slightly different style on similar parts of the world, you can check out my blogs (I'm still going on them) at Nomad-Old-Farts. Cheers, Neil
Central Asia! Hi Neil, Thanks for your nice comment. I need to put time aside to read some of your blogs. I wish I could have made it too to Turkmenistan. I guess it will be for another time.
Caves Tour I remember visiting Reims then doing a caves tour of Moët et Chandon in Épernay when I was there in 2013. First time I think I've ever had French champagne!! The avenue is quite spectacular.
Magique Comme quoi ca vaut la peine de voyager avec ses parents quand on est petit !!! Les souvenirs font que les choses sont encore plus belles que ce qu'on avait gardé à l'esprit... Buen viaje !
les bulles Si je comprends bien tu ne prends les petits dejeuners que quand il y a des bulles... ! vais exiger ca dans mes prochaines réservations : en effet ce doit etre bien meilleur !
Introductions are in order!!! Have a great time in Spain. I'll be there starting with Barcelona on 5 Sep, walking the Camino de Santiago for five weeks. I guess our paths won't cross this time.
Love the Art Deco! I'd love to see this classic old architecture, but Miami and Florida in general, has just never attracted me. The crowds and, as you say, inflated prices, just don't seem worth it. But the Art Deco--just maybe. Happy mediocre diving in your next spot--at least you can tick it off your list!
Les photos ! All really beautifull !!!!! tu peux me ramener un crabe de porcelaine pour la vitrine de la maison ???? c'est trop beau ! et les photos de vous deux encore plus...
This blog is just short of 10 years old. We have now move to South Africa.
Why South Africa? Simple, great wine, great food, great golf and even more amazing diving! I will for once continue to blog from time to time about home. After all, this is just my fourth continent after having grow up in Europe, lived in Asia for twenty years, and even spent a full year living the life of Buenos Aires.
Come to visit....there is so much to do here! ... full info
