Complete set of photos from Madaba and the Eastern Desert After a fitful nights sleep for some with mozzies and the cold and the noisy heater (I managed to sleep ok somehow) we assembled for breakfast of humous and warm pita bread which is standard in this part of the world and delicious. Sarah […] Hello 2012! Hi all, Sarah here. As a new year begins, I thought I might ‘guest spot’ on Dave’s blog and share some reflections five months into our year-long world trip. While I’m present in his stories and some photos, I realise my voice has been quiet since we’ve been travelling (and the iPhone […] Full set of photos from Umm Qais and the Eastern Desert What seemed on paper like a perfectly reasonable day of travel turned into one of the most incident packed I’ve had. Thinking back it seems hard to believe that this all happened in the one day but such is the nature of travel in […] Complete set of photos for Jerash and Ajlun The most well-trodden path from Amman is to go south towards Petra or maybe a day trip to the eastern desert.

Somehow on our second last day we discovered that we had not sampled this much hyped delicacy so we made a point to go to the most famous hotdog stand in […] View all the Vik photos here Vik is famous for its coastline, not because it’s a great place to lounge around and sunbake, and probably not for the surfing, although for all I know it’s possible to pull on a dry suit and surf until you get frostbite on your nose. The stunning aspect of […] View all the photos from Hofn here The drive from Lake Myvatn to Höfn was almost stereotypically atmospheric. We started in the darkness of 8am and drove through the volcanic mountains as dawn leaked across the sky. Snow streaked the black ground. As the sun came up we climbed into more misty mountains. The main […] Full set of Lake Myvatn photos are here The drive to Lake Myvatn exceeded our expectations. We set off before dawn, which is easier to do when the sun rises at 9:30. After about an hour of driving we saw a magnificent dawn rise over the mountains and the scenery did not let us down […] |
