Wild camping and holidaying in Cirali, Turkey

admin — Sun, 06 Nov 2011 13:37:56 +0000

Cirali, right next to the ancient town of Olympos, is simply the best place to wild camp in Turkey. The beach is the nicest in the country and there are free toilets and a water supply. We were parked next to the sand, under huge trees, and it was great! Plenty of other wild campers [...]

Campgrounds, or not, in Europe… and beyond

Debbie — Sat, 30 Jul 2011 02:00:05 +0000

When the blog carnival theme came up this month for “RV Parks and Kids” my mind came up with a bit of a blank because we just don’t go to them very much any more. A couple of reasons come to mind. They are too dang expensive. With our amount of people we have paid [...]

Camping in New Zealand

Forget hotels unless you want to go from city to city and New Zealand has way more to offer than its cities. Camping is the way to go. If you are two people the best way to explore New Zealand is in one of the many varieties of campervan we see scouring the country. You [...]

Hot Water, Free Range Chickens and Blackberries

On our way down south. Stopped off in Rotorua on the way. Rotorua has become a bit touristy. Lots of hotels and expensive games for spending your money. There are helicopter rides and transparent balls to crawl inside of and roll down the hill. We saw steam rising from small tree islands in the park [...]

We tried to stop in Serbia, honestly we did. We tried to stop in Nis and see the “skull tower” but couldn’t find the city. Really! We tried to stop at the new, modern campground in Belgrade but….. We tried to stop in Novi Sad but missed another big city next to the freeway. We [...]

Macedonia – take 2

Debbie — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 10:04:01 +0000

We ended up behind a bus at the Macedonian border. The bus was having problems getting through and angry bus passengers were everywhere. We showed our updated car documents in a fancy plastic folder. Andrew noted before that the truckers show a plastic sleeve with insurance documents, listing the names of the countries, showing on [...]

Albania

Albania, just the word brings questions and fear. Stories of the poverty. Stories of the horrible roads. Fear of the unknown. Excitement and wonder of the unknown. You might find this hard to believe but me and Andrew have both been intrigued by Albania since before we knew each other. Something about what grows in [...]

Thru the Western Europe South edge

Went thru Western Europe. After the Dali Museum we dropped off Alana in Italy. We miss giggly, colourful Alana. Now we are only 5. Such a small group. So much less than the 9 we were just a short time ago. We stopped off in Venice. Dad took lots of touristy pictures of the younger [...]

Where’s Waldo or Wally or Andrew?

Debbie — Sat, 24 Apr 2010 07:34:09 +0000

Spent the morning studying and writing then took off hiking in the afternoon. We hiked through the farmland to get to the famous waterfalls. BTW that is a real, live kitten sticking its head out of TJs backpack. It is not our kitten. She is Karim’s. Her name is Karima. Hannah quickly took over the [...]
