Keeping this travel blog enables me to reflect and record my journeys as well as communicate with my family and friends. I shouldn't be amazed me that complete strangers in this travel community will want to read about what I am up to as they are a great bunch of folk. I have swapped my home and hospitality for many years now and always I have met such wonderful open, generous and friendly people.

Lovely flowers!
Your trip looks interesting. It's part of the world I don't really know - so i find your blog to be very informative. Although some of the flowers weren't up to what you'd hoped - your photos are very impressive. Shame the weather isn't great...but then again it's pretty rainy here too! Enjoy the rest of your holiday. - Jennifer

European Borders
I think our comment from this side of the world (NZ) is that there is now not enough border control in any European countries. It seems to us that every Tom , Dick and Sally have been able to waltz into the UK whether or not they had work to go to, good intentions or any means to support themselves. I guess the trick is to be able to distinguish between tourists and migrants but unless one is stopped and questioned, how can this be determined?!
