I really enjoyed this blog. And like you, my very limited Spanish seems to get magically better with sangria! It must be a thing :)

Happy birthday!!!
Your trip was the perfect birthday present. I am anxiously approaching the day when I will fly to Scotland, my first out of country trip since May 2019. I hope that I regain that old feeling like you did.

The Soul of South India
I love South Indian filter coffee . It is my go to beverage every morning without which I cannot function.

Welcome back...
there is life after death! I've had to postpone my trip to Scotland three times...perhaps next June. In the meantime, winter is approaching and all I want is to be is lying on a tropical beach!

Cheers! Yeah, I definitely know what you mean about wanting to get to a tropical beach? I haven't seen one since the start of the pandemic...

Did I follow that road?
Haha, I didn't, actually! I walked through the medina to get to the other side.

Zoroastrianism
Are adherants tolerated in Islamic Iran, Derek. I came upon Zoroastrianism in Tajikistan and their god was an interesting fellow indeed.

Zoroastrianism
Yes, they are, as are Armenian Christians. According to a follower we talked to however, they don't too many favours as a religious minority unfortunately...

Jealous!!
Hi, I am a traveler also, but the idea of going to Belarus never occurred to me. I have been to Moscow and St. Pete but of course our guide took us to the nice places, some actually stunning. But I'd like to travel with you and your imaginative, daring and adventurous spirit. My husband is oh, so conservative. We are going to see gorillas for my 80th b'day and that is going out on the limb for him. You write well. Thanks.

Hi, Most of you will have been directed here by me - if so, thanks for coming. If not, thanks for coming anyway. I am Derek - a Kiwi who in June 2007, set off on a 4 1/2 month sortie around Europe via the USA, and set up this blog so that friends, family and randoms could keep track of where I had been to, and of the shenanigans I inevitably got up to. The trip inspired me to keep travelling and directly following it, I spent the next seven years living in London, which was a fantastic base from which to continue my travels and thus the travelling continued unaba... full info
