I visited the Peregrination Museum in Santiago and that was absolutely fab. I was allowed to take pictures and the best was a series of contemporaneous drawings and etchings of when and how the cathedral was built. Sorry, you will still have to wait a few weeks to see them. This morning I left... Sign in to see full entry.

Refreshed, restored, glamed up and on the roll again. Trust me to hit Santiago de Compostela three days before the big festival to celebrate the Saint´s name day. The town is brimming with all the pilgrims who have been walking the St. Jacob´s path, some all the way from France and you hardly can... Sign in to see full entry.

About three hours ago I finally made it to Galicia and the only thing I want to do is fall into bed and sleep. But, I have found an internet cafe first and just wanted to let you know I have arrived safely. More later. Sign in to see full entry.

First things first. I showed Derrick and Maureen all your lovely comments and they just couldn't believe, that people they had never seen or spoken to in their life would take such a touching interest. All I could say was: that's blogit for you. Here are two more pictures from the Eupalinos tunnel... Sign in to see full entry.

I do keep my friends updated on the interest you all take in the accident and the very good wishes you conveyed for Derrick's speedy recovery. I told him: America and beyond is rooting for you!!

Anyway, back to Samos and our visit to a not well know but... Sign in to see full entry.

Here we were, one day enjoying our marvelous trip to Samos and the next, we are...in hospital. That's why I wasn't posting for the last 2 days. Read the story: Derrick is a DIY man.

Let me answer two questions first, kabu, lusterlove and nautikos posed in their kind comments on my previous entry. It is indeed very hot, that's why we stay on or near the water. Secondly, Derrick was smoking nothing in his nagile! It was just make belief for fun! Don't worry, we haven't turned... Sign in to see full entry.

I have to take this by instalments, so much has happened and so much have we done and seen in just two days. On Tuesday, we went back to Kusadasi to spend the day, as the ferry for Samos was leaving on Wednesday at 8.30 am and we didn't feel like rushing things. Also, as I told you a few days ago,...

In two hours we take the dolums (minibus) to Kusadasi where we will spend the day and night and tomorrow morning we go on the ferry to Samos. Please, meet my travel companions Maureen and Derick. The lady peeking in on the right is their witness and the story behind that is so romantic. Derick is... Sign in to see full entry.
