                    <title>Freighter Travel  Barcelona berth Spain</title>
                    <description>We had a few hours before dinner on our first afternoon aboard so we decided to spend some time back in the city. We took the long walk through the working container terminal dodging huge vehicles and we arrived at the bus stop outside the gate. The local bus took us to central Barcelona where we enjoyed the atmosphere as we rambled up La Rambla.Hmmm  I returned a lot quicker than General McA</description>

                    <description>Signing up for our freighter travel was a mission The UK freighter travel agent seemed to put obstacles in our way continuously from our first contact seven weeks before boarding. We expected we would have to provide medical certificates yellow fever certificates various declarations passports and visas but we did not expect we would have to provide them repeatedly and after we had been told</description>

                    <title>A quick stopover in Barcelona</title>
                    <description>We flew out of Casablanca on Royal Air Morocco. As we boarded the plane I hoped the maintenance crew had done a better job than the checkin staff. Checkin was a shambles with only one person serving all the flights and the passengers trying to get to the front of five lines of queue.We stayed at the Sunshine Hostel just off La Rambla in Barcelona. It was fairly ordinary and we had the worst bed</description>

                    <title>A Tale of Two Tajines  Morocco</title>
                    <description>After my first trip to Morocco in 2010 with my sister Moira I began regularly cooking Moroccan recipes especially Tajines. I attempted to buy a pottery tajine in New Zealand but I could find only expensive nonMoroccan dishes.Fast forward two years ...We bought two tajines from a souk small shopstall in the heart of the old market and we went straight to the nearest Post Office but the posta</description>

                    <description>Casablanca had a cold and gritty feeling. Much of our time was spent organising parcels and onward travel.The first night we visited the medina. It is a narrow web of streets and markets that does not possess the character or charm of the Marrakech souks. Most of the products at the market are Asian imports. The vendors sit in their stalls waiting as opposed to greeting people as they come by. Th</description>

                    <description>We arrived in Marrakech after dark and were met at the airport by a driver who took us to our Riad. After a welcoming mint tea we went to our room to settle in before having our prebooked evening meal.Eileen visited Marrakech two years ago and loved it barely venturing beyond the medina for her five day stay. For our visit she booked a Riad for us that is in the medina close to Djemaa el Fna and </description>

                    <description>When you go to a place with low expectations it is easier to be wowed. We had only a couple of days in Athens and so I was determined to make the most of it.We arrived after an interesting and at times spectacular bus ride from Vonitsa a small town near Palairos. We enjoyed the coastal and countryside views and a ride across a very substantial bridge.After we checked into our hotel we visit</description>

                    <title>We Are Sailing  Greek Islands in South Ionian Sea</title>
                    <description>I viewed this part of our journey with a bit of trepidation sailing as a novice skipper with Eileen as untrained and inexperienced crew. We had hired a skipper for three days to show us the ropes but after that we would be on our own with only mooring assistance at the end of each day. Would we surviveWe stayed the night at Cliff Bay Hotel Palairos a good spot with a lovely outlook. The </description>

                    <description>Our flights to Greece departed from Munich airport so it made sense to spend our last night of this leg of our journey somewhere in Germany not far from the airport. We chose Salzweger Hof in the small town of Salzweg.We enjoyed a lovely scenic drive through the countryside and the small towns on the way from Vienna to Salzweg. Our accommodation at Salweger Hof was serviceable and we would recomm</description>

                    <description>It was well after lunch by the time we got underway to Vienna and we were both relieved that the Garmin worked faultlessly.The Gally Apartment was clean serviceable and almost comfortable We had no issues with Mr Gally despite warnings from others on the Tripadvisor website and in fact we found him helpful. His advice was always perfunctory but covered the requirements and answered our q</description>

                    <title>Lonesome Leigh in Prague  Czech Republic </title>
                    <description>We headed for Prague with stepbystep directions downloaded from Google and saved onto the computer. This worked well but it was not as relaxing as following the Garmins timely instructions. Also the consequence of a wrong turn would be more time consuming and stressful Luckily the Garmin service centre was near a motorway exit and we found our way there. The technician agreed the unit neede</description>

                    <title>GPS Failure ... Where's Olomouc  Czech Republic</title>
                    <description>For the drive to Olomouc we decided to take the highways for the first part of the journey then turn off the highway and program the Garmin to take us over secondary roads. This meant we could see more of Poland and the Czech countryside. All was going to plan as we travelled through the small towns in Poland getting nearer to the border.We took a detour to look at a local site and we turned the </description>

                    <description>We left Levoa on an overcast day and headed to the pretty town of Kemarok a medieval walled town. Just as it started to rain we left and headed towards the Tatra Mountains. We had a good view of them from Slovakia but they were shrouded in mist by the time we reached Poland.We stopped at the touristy town of Zakopane. It reminded me of Queenstown but without the view It probably had wonder</description>

                    <description>We made an early start to Slovakia as Eileen had set the alarm to get through the shower early. We decided to breakfast along the way. We stopped at a small town remembering our pleasant experience in Slovenia. The local bar was open so we wandered in to find the local men having their breakfast  beer. The bar did not serve food. We noted that beer was a popular breakfast choice throughout the co</description>

                    <description>We left Ljubljana just on lunch time deciding to get some distance behind us before we stopped for lunch. We stopped at random at the town of Turnie. We had a bowl of soup each two mains I had turkey while Eileen had bratwurst a 500ml beer and glass of wine for 11 Euro. Our waiter Davorin with his semi Mohawk haircut was very helpful talking us through the menu. The pumpkin seed oil dressi</description>

                    <description>We had drizzly rain in Ljubljana so we decided to head out of town to Bled. Bled is a very beautiful lakeside town. There is a church on an island in the middle of the lake and a small castle set on a cliff high above the lake. When we arrived in the town the rain eased so we had a walk on the lake edge. We then drove up the hill to view the castle but it was raining 39cats and dogs39 so we </description>

                    <title>A Magnificent Back Road in Slovenia  </title>
                    <description>We chugged through the outer suburbs of the industrial end of Verona following the Garmins instructions to the motorway. The Italian motorway has a speed limit of 130kph so we were soon whisking our way towards Ljubljana in Slovenia. Motorway driving was fairly boring but efficient so we covered 220kms in quick time.We chose to enter Slovenia via the adventure town of Soa so this meant gettin</description>

                    <description>Who said travel was easy The scene starts with an overnight flight from Barbados to Frankfurt where you are served dinner at 11 pm local time and breakfast at 2.30 am. You get off the flight at 4.30am but it is 10.30am local time. Feeling fresh I wish you find the correct rental car counter only to have drama  No you cannot go to Croatia.

I never knew my great grandfather he was gone long before I was born.Memories of my grandfather and his two unmarried sisters were my closest link. It s</description>
