After visiting 19 countries so far on this trip, our next and final countries are new to us, as in we haven’t visited them before. Drum roll please… Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to Jordan and Qatar! Now, I have to say that the decision to visit Jordan was almost accidental! What this means is that,…
With apologies to Mel Stuart, Suzanne Pleshette and the cast of that gawd-awful movie from the 1960’s, but the title seemed appropriate! Well, we are in another country and on another Continent. Yes, that’s right – we are in Morocco. This is MJ’s 3rd trip and Nick’s 2nd trip to this lovely country. We have…
With all of our travels, we have had the chance to catch up with lots of friends in different countries but now that we are heading into The Netherlands, it is time to see some family. As many of you know, Nick’s parents were born in The Netherlands and emigrated to Australia after they got…
Since leaving southern Germany and our friends, we have done a lot of kilometers and visited a lot of towns but haven’t really done anything. We have driven to towns, walked around the Old Town or die Altstadt, and felt very overwhelmed with the history and architecture that we’ve seen. And occasionally, there have been…
I have had my Cochlear Implant since January 2021. Before this round-the-world trip, I had done some small trips but this is the biggest trip and I want to make a few comments. First of all, when I chose my Sound Processor (SP), I chose a Med-El Rondo 3 because, at that time, it was…
Through travel, we have made friends all around the world, but it seems that the majority of our overseas friends live in Germany! Well, that’s a surprise – not!! Some of these friends we have met when they were travelling in Australia and some when we were travelling ourselves. The first group of friends that…
Austria is a beautiful country! In past travels, we have been to both Salzburg and Vienna but this time we were in Innsbruck and then heading to the Slovenian border so we could start the Balkan part of our adventure. Innsbruck was sunny and hot weather but we felt totally over-awed by the mountains around…
In an effort to avoid all world-class sporting events, we are heading to Bordeaux and the Dordogne Region. But it was too far to try to do in one leg so we used an App “Park4night” to find an Aires du Camping which wouldn’t cost too much. We looked around Poitiers and found a spot…
This will be a quick update on the past 14 days or so. As mentioned in our last Blog entry, we travelled by train from London to Nittel, which is a small place south of Trier in Germany. We caught the Eurostar to Brussels, then changed to an IC to Luxembourg, before catching a local…
In our travels, either together or individually, we have been to the UK many times. We are blessed with having friends, old & new, in many different parts of the country. So, we always enjoy coming back for just one more visit – though I’m not sure how many times we’ve said that! On this…
