When Col & Marilou travel, what coud possibly go wrong…right?

Colin came home with him a few days before Christmas some years back. He’d been out running errands (Colin, not the stuffed reindeer) and wherever the contents of his list had taken him that day, it was an encounter that resulted in an impulse purchase. Back at the Ranch, I eagerly awaited Col’s return so…

Catching the train from Salamanca to Madrid for the last few days of our amazing holiday, we stop briefly at Avila and, as we slow to roll into the station I glance across at the medieval town with its perfect, multi-turreted walls and suffer a severe attack of ROMO (that’s ‘regret of missing out’!). You…

Yup…Our chosen seats on the train trip from Segovia to Salamanca were facing the wrong way! Hence, the environs whipped by at a rate of knots in reverse, churning the tum and determining that we kept eyes down on our respective devices for the duration of the journey. 😊 Interesting last night in Segovia. The…

Well, here we are in stunning Segovia and the pendulum has swung. We’re both now bunged up to Billy-o!! 😄 The dried fruit regime has recommenced (although Col is a late adopter…he’s not keen to venture back to Bumwee, Idaho anytime soon!) 😂 We’ve had an active day covering 12k steps, drinking heaps of water…

At high school, I studied Latin for a year in the 3rd Form. At the time I thought it was daggy as, and I couldn’t wait to dump it as an elective the following year. (Oh the folly of youth!) I’ve wished pretty much ever since that I’d kept it up for at least another…

We had so much fun tonight…in fact, our whole day was amazing, but 4 wheel driving and riding camels in the Sahara Desert to catch the sunset was the highlight for sure. Such an awesome experience. I made the mistake of wearing my slides. Yes, it’s still those little slippy bastards…🙄 I haven’t had a…

I made it to Seville unscathed, woo hoo…I truly thought I had dodged the bullet that took down so many of my compatriot travellers, but no….my gizzards have now also suffered the horrendous fate wrought by some plotting, microscopic pathogen. 😖😄 Here I was, sharing cautionary advice about salads and cut fruit during the preceding…

We’re part of the ‘Back of the Bus’ crew… the cool kids who are a bit naughty and march to the beat of their own drum! We’ve had some running gags over the last few days down the back there, the most hilarious one (damned if I know how it started) is about me pimping…

We’re currently on our tour coach headed from Granada to Algeciras to catch the ferry across to Tangiers. Excited!! I still have a bit of the Black Lung, but getting incrementally better each day, largely thanks to the most evil tasting cough mixture ever formulated which, three times per day, I have to block off…

The Compulsory Fruit Regime works a treat, only thing is, not really ideal when you’re 20 minutes into a 1.5 hour bus trip! 👀 We’re starting to get to know our fellow touristas. There’s Helena and Nino from Dubbo, Peter and Sue-Ann from Sydney and Chalky and Rose (dunno where they’re from, but best names…
