Will we be back on the road today? 16.9.21 Last night Naz’s side door handle broke. This morning John was very happy to find a brand new one in a garage nearby. We still have no idea what our bill is going to be for Ömers work so John did the 12km walk and back…
In March we decided to sell Naz. We’ve seen all the major destinations
Is it just posh boats and a castle? 10.5.25 An interesting nights sleep by the little harbour, after finally catching the mozzie that was otherwise going to eat us alive.

Our trip is coming to an end 16.5.25 When we went to bed last night there were street dogs barking, people chatting on the beach and music playing. It didn’t bode well but suddenly just before midnight we realised all was silent. We could only hear the sea. John decided we would take the scenic…
