Day 51 Sunday 2nd AprilAnother early rise at 5.50am in readiness to catch the bus sometimes it feels like a waste to pay for a bed and try to sleep in these circumstances. The bus seats were incredibly narrow and I shared my bench with Carolyn and slim Peter. Fortunately the bus made frequent stops on our day long journey. The scenery was truly spectacular along high winding roads passing seve

New hostel I love it It is right in literally in Wulan square . It is also conveniently located just about a 8 minute walk to my favorite vegetarian restaurant in town I slept like a rock last night for the first time in over a week and got up around 9 am. Even though the weather forecast said it was going to reach 90 degrees today I was still set on going to the botanical gardens. I

Lima Peru. Visiting an ABA Autism Center We Rosalyn and Glen had the wonderful opportunity to arrange a visit to Lima39s autism early intervention center called Alcanzando.

We made our way nearer to the coast and the sunshine trying to find a campsite NEAR to the beach was a little more difficult than expected this is Portugal so you would expect some but only 2 could we find. The decision was made to head down the coast and carry on if the description of on the beach was inaccurate. An easy journey and as we made our way through the little streets of Fuzeta

We set off in the sunshine after a reasonable last night in the Premiere Classe hotel. These budget hotels have been quite good for the type of journey we were doing but their WiFi connection was so bad we had to resort to uploading the photos for the blog via the mobile phone connection a few times.The route from Troyes was almost due north for a good stretch and we were expecting to drive throu

Today we travelled to the biggest Greek Island Crete which is famous for it39s olive oil. But that39s about it. It39s not one of those pretty islands so we didn39t stay very long there we just got another foot treatment from the fishes. Later we boarded the ship and travelled to Sontorini the island I39ve been waiting to see. We took a bus up to the top the view was amazing and

Today we headed to Rhodes Island. This Island used to be a place for prisoners but today it is dull of small markets.

The water is so clear here you can see everything underneath you The beach we went to had beach chairs and umbrellas which was so nice and relaxing. Tonight we we

Today we boarded our cruise ship. The cruise ship has a swimming pool multiple restaurants a gym shops etc. Although it39s sounds amazing it39s an old boat so not that flash on the inside but still good for a first time. We headed to Mykonos Island which took about 6 hrs to get there so we just chilled out on the cruise ship until then. I think I mentioned it in the last post but we only
