Reminded me so much of our trip to Europe with my parents when we were kids and my parents bought a water jug in a shop like this!
Up and on the road once again, this time to the beaches to the south in Carvoeiro. I think everyone is looking forward to relaxing a bit more.
Before we leave town, Anne wants to stop and check out a local pottery shop on the corner. The lady has a bunch of hand made Read on...
At one point in my life I found myself consumed in a deep love affair. It was that sort of story we have all heard before. Love at first sight. Fell hard and fell fast. Was in way over my head before I even knew what hit me.
It was that sort of intense relationship that effected my everything. My emotions, my love and my loyalty were so strong for this relationship they dictated my free time, my Read on...
We can all probably agree that 2020 is not a year that we will remember fondly, although we surely wont soon forget. Our Christmas plans to head to the beach for Christmas week were given the kibosh by the Chilean government about three weeks before the day, as they decided that a recent uptick in cases necessitated a move back to fase 2 in their paso a paso plan (update on this in my next blog po Read on...

Although I would rather have rented a boat and island hop, I dont have a sailing licence so I only visited Crete (not much unfortunately), Santorini, Milos and Athens.
First stop was Heraklion, where I visited the museum with its really good collection of Minoan pottery (a must go). I back to Crete one day and stay there for a couple of weeks as I didnt get to see much this time. I only did some Read on...
Last full day in Norway, boo. Started my long drive back to Oslo today and then tomorrow I fly back to Iceland.
I had planned to do Andalsnes earlier in the week, but the weather didnt cooperate with the rain - if Im going to pay ~$65 for a cable car, I want to be able to see. Today was perfectly sunny and so made for a great time. Parking was fun lol the spots are free but require you to registe Read on...
We left Sanford around 8.30am. One van (with a bike aboard) and three bikes running. This was going to be our last day on the bikes and our planned destination was Albany in New York State where Ronnies motorcycles will store our bikes. Around 208 miles expected today.
We had some navigation confusion early on, mainly around avoiding freeways or not. However we sorted out the route and with the e Read on...
We seem to have spent precious few hours on our now two month long jaunt doing much relaxing, so today we decide to make up for lost time. Our apartment is made for the job; a sizeable terrace equipped with a couple of large sunlounges overlooking the water, and if that gets a bit warm theres always the leather recliners in the living room where we can stretch out and stare through the full length Read on...
It was an early start today. Our German cruise director is maniacal about punctuality. We headed out to Alkmaaar - a small town that was the center of the early Dutch cheese trade.
First though, a stop at several windmills a bit north of our destination. I was surprised to learn that about 70% of windmills in the Netherlands were used for pumping water to reclaim land (30% for grinding grain or a Read on...
Yesterday we had an adventure deep sea fishing on the Indian Ocean! It was a bit more than I expected in a lot of ways (the length of our boat trip, the swells on the ocean, and the disturbing nature of fishing itself).
Lets start at the beginning. We were up early as we were leaving at 7:30. It was raining when we got up, and while we were having our early light breakfast, but it soon stopped, a Read on...
