Titles...
I'm glad you clarified that 'Genius' wasn't a self-given title! :D

I love the Man on seat 61 too! I like flying less and less everyday, so this website makes me dream. It's nice that you guys are doing overland in Europe... oh! and I love Amsterdam too, it's so beautiful

A fan are you?
Didn't have you guys down as David Hasselhoff fans! The currywurst and beer tour sounds brilliant, I know a certain mammoth who might enjoy that.

Cliches...
I'm totally fine with cliches when they involve delicious cheese (or wine or bread)! :)

Jolly good yarn
Top blog guys, gave me a few giggles this morning. Totally agree with hostel observation, They typically only seem to be great for solo travellers, I don't miss drifting of to sleep to the melodic sounds of my dorm mates farts, coughs and snores. Those clogs did look a couple of sizes to big for you Kate. Looking forward to the next instalment

Congrats
First of all congratulations on your promotion. I have been lucky enough to visit Amsterdam twice and enjoyed it both times. Sounds like some great tours you were on and good thinking using the points to pay for the room. Looking forward to the next instalment.

Amsterdam
We loved exploring this city. All the fabulous museums, food and people. Have fun.

Thank you for blogging about Ukraine
I am also going to Ukraine often and it's nice to see some people to write that life there is going on as normal and except in the East, it's not war at all in comparison with what is said in the news in Europe! Enjoy Odessa ;) Natacha

A really good read
Really enjoyed this blog, a country yet to come under Woolly's sights but one that we need to go to.

Safety in Odessa
I visited Odessa in September last year, and it holds many fond memories - a pretty cosmopolitan city with great food! Entirely agree on the perception of a destination given by the media being different from the reality on the ground. I always tell others to rely on reports from people living or travelling in a place and not to rely on the media for such information. Of course, that is easy to say, but more difficult for such advice to be believed! I would return to Odessa or Kiev (where I also visited last year) without any hesitation at present, one just needs to use common sense wherever they are in the world.

Time in the sun
Great to hear you both are safe and sound and enjoying life in Odessa. The newspapers clearly imply concern is warranted in Ukraine so this blog is welcome. Is there no place free of mosquitoes? Maybe not!
