After 2 days sailing past the North African Coast of Tunisia, Algeria & Morocco, we arrived at Malaga, Spain on the 20th of May. We had a half day tour scheduled which turned out to be terrific. First stop was the Castillo de Gibralfaro which means Castle of the Lighthouse Rock which overlooks the city and gave us some great views and photo opts. Next we hit the Bull Ring and Museum and got a history lesson on bull fighting past and present. We were amazed at the costs of the sport today. Bull Fighters can get paid over 100,000 Euro for one fight and it costs over 100 Euro for a seat. Next we got to tour the famous Cathedral of Malaga which was as beautiful as the one we saw in Valletta. Our last ... read more

Venice (5.12.08 - 5.15.08) Jumped on the train, feels good to be moving again. I love train travel. I could just tour all over Europe and stop for a night or two in different places. Heading towards Florence now. A bit about Venice - the train goes right onto the island and that last bit going across the water feels like the north New Orleans area; mostly water and some oil refinery looking facilities. Venice is a classic post card, everywhere feels like you’re there. Seldom does every aspect of a place speak the character of that place. Mostly a place for old folks and couples. I didn’t meet any travelers or locals and felt quite lonely. I did meet my mom the second day and stayed with them in their villa on a small plaza. ... read more

Sofie Sofie er en steg - og hun glæder sig over-mega-kodylt-sygt-meget til at spise rotter med ris og karrysovs! Laura Hej! Jeg er en pige på 20 år - og jeg står og skal afsted til Indien om ganske kort tid. Jeg er rigtig spændt og har en lille sommerfugl eller to i maven. Jeg skal bo på kvindecenteret i Tiruvannamalai sammen med Ida og Sofie. Derefter skal jeg rejse videre rundt i Indien som backpacker i halvanden måned. Jeg forventer at få en masse spændende oplevelser med hjem i rygsækken, som jeg kan bruge i min videre færden. Ida Halløjsa! Jeg indtager, sammen med resten af Ulandsholdet fra Silkeborg Højskole, Indien med storm den 9. juni! Jeg forventer at opleve en verden så forskellig fra den, som jeg i en alder af 19 år ... read more

If anyone is looking for pure indulgence, good food and great hospitality go to Elounda Bay in Crete. I've just come from staying at the Peninsula Suites at Elounda but for those that find this too expensive (luckily I wasn't paying) they own two other resorts very near each other (one actually next door). Their Spa Centre is amazing, a huge range of treatments offered, something for everyone. This time of year had perfect weather for us to enjoy. There are culture excursions for those that do not wish to soak up the sun all day - Palace of Knossos which is from Elounda about 1hr away or take a boat to Spinalonga Island - a island famous because of the leper colony which was there until 1957. The boat ride itself was lovely and to ... read more
