    Europe’s equivalent of Jordan’s Petra…

    Is the Ostrog monastery. Interestingly it comes with a little mystery attached to it in the sense that nobody knows much about who or what built it. That’s quite strange to hear these days right?  I had initially accepted this wasn’t going to be a tourist attraction I could visit because the tour price would…

  • Mountainous Montenegro

    Mountainous Montenegro

    Myself, the well-travelled Dutch lady and the gentle German giant said our goodbyes to half of the people in yesterday’s group photo as we headed for Montenegro whilst the others headed further north into the Albanian mountains to hike.

    Lake Komani: Scenic bliss in Albania

    This is definitely the last post and last day in Albania folks and so to find this ‘scenic bliss’ the team and I had to endure a long, long day. Yes, we could have done this the easy way and paid 33  euros each to have everything worked out for us but as ever, I…

Since then its largely been rural villages, castles and vast amounts of walking. I came here then with minimal expectations and as such I…

  • A miserably wet afternoon in Berat

    A miserably wet afternoon in Berat

    Yes folks finally a less than pleasurable afternoon. That’s a grand total of two single bad experiences in seven weeks of travel so I can’t grumble too much can I. (The first being THAT time in Cyprus of course). So the day started off reasonably bright and sunny enough for us to not feel cold or…

Where it all began, an impromptu road trip that would eventually pave the way – no pun intended – for many more, growing into an insatiable travel appetite
