Pecos Biff is not at home right now

She was in Syria, falling in love with a whole people and their country. Rich red soil, a universal and genuine welcome, history, more history, good food, things to see, shopping - oh, the shopping! -  and a committed smoking culture - what's not to like?

And Lebanon. Terrific and good source of Hizbollah tshirts.Unfortunately had to come home early as getting too hot for this Northern Englishwoman (see profile pic)

Now it is time for somewhere a bit cooler and English-speaking. So I am going to Genoa, Italy, by ferry and trains and will embark on a freighter and sail to Halifax, Nova Scotia. It takes ten days. This is not a cruise so - no parties, no fancy dress, no games, nothing. What bliss. Taking a Farsi language course as my dream is to get back to Iran. Not looking likely, is it?

After this trip, a couple of months at home with feet up and then - Iraq! with Hinterland Travel. My first group organised tour but who would go to Iraq independently? Not me.

Wish me luck mid-Atlantic, yeah?
