The journey to Cochin was the worst journey of my life (see Travel Notes: The journey to Cochin was the worst journey of my life). Cochin was a stop-over before heading to the beach towns of Kovalam and Varkala. It was really to break up our journey ... Read more >

We've heard some random things whilst travelling. Here are some of the curious things we've picked up. France: If you lose your driving license you are still allowed on the road if its to drive to work. But if that's too inconvenient you can ... Read more >

I like travelling by train and Indian Rail is no exception. I'm sat on one now and I've just seen 4 kids washing themselves in a river jumping and waving manically at the sight of us. You see some amazing stuff. However, after the comparative luxury ... Read more >

There are plenty of good things to do in Jordan, notably the dead sea, but I wasn't interested in floating about. I wanted to go to Petra. I had become slightly obsessed with Petra since I first saw an image of the Siq in the 1988 edition of Guiness ... Read more >

Having taken just about all that we could of Cairo, it was with a sense of excitement (and renewed hope on my part) that we headed into the Western desert for a little adventure, including a night camping. Our three day get away began in the oasis ... Read more >

This entry almost deserves the title Death on the Nile. We were warned “good places are difficult to come by in Cairo” but we didn't expect this to be so true and extend to Luxor as well. We did grapple some highlights though to ensure we had covered ... Read more >

On arrival in Madrid, one of the first things that struck us was the relaxed atmosphere considering it is a capital city. The weather was glorious the whole time we were there and we had a great time just leisurely wandering around the city. Our accommodation ... Read more >

First Day Syndrome is basically the start of an on-going cycle. We arrive in a new place, check into the accommodation (varying degrees of standard) and head out for a bit of an explore. This invariably ends up being much longer than planned, when we're ... Read more >

After a tearful goodbye in Antibes (for real this time!) it was on to Albi, in France, to stay with Arnie Sue and Uncle Bri! It was so nice to be staying in a home again, especially one with English Sky TV! And so ensued some serious Olympic viewing ... Read more >

This story is dedicated to Terry Summerbell. 5 nights in Rome is quite a while so we thought a day at the local waterpark might be fun. Travelling is about doing stuff,we were told, rather than simply seeing stuff. So we set off on our journey - i´d ... Read more >

Chloes´s birthday fell whilst we were in Antibes so, after acting tourists, we scheduled a beach break. Months previously chloe´s mum, Pip, and I had hatched a plan for her and Chloe´s dad, Stefan, to come over to Antibes as a surprise. Incidentally, ... Read more >

Our arrival in Rome saw what we have come to call 'first day syndrome'(see travel notes). The hostel appeared pretty ropey, especially the caged 'elevator', the design of which one can only assume was based on the set of some terrifying horror movie! ... Read more >

Now, we all know that Venice is built on water. However, nothing can prepare you for what it's actually like when you get there. As we walked out of the station we were confronted by a sea of water, stretched out in front of us for as far as we could ... Read more >
