Turkey and all it's delight

A country that never ceased to amaze us at how big it is! You think where your heading is only an hour or so away, 4-5 hours later you arrive! So in hindsight, spending 5 weeks there just wasn’t enough and we would love to go back and take our time, maybe 3 months. And the people, wow, so hospitable.. within our first few days of being there we met some locals, who brought us a cup of Turkish tea each, and then recommended a beautiful bay to stay in. So we went there the next day, and the family was there, so they gave us more tea, plus some freshly caught fish! The locals are also so kind to the stray dogs, sometimes even paying out fo them to be neutered or spayed. The bay recommended to us by locals Hammock out right away in Turkey Breakfast with a cow! Got the recording studio out! You may be aware already, but the cost of fuel in Turkey is so cheap, we were paying around €0.90 a litre, plus sometimes you’d even get a free cup of Çai (tea) with it! This helped balance out the...

Looking back on 2023

As it is the last day of 2023, we thought it would be nice to reflect on the year we have had. And what a year it has been. From spending last Christmas at a pet sit in Palairos, Greece, to this Christmas being on the beach in South Italy, it has been filled full of so many adventures as well as losses and a return trip home. We sadly lost our Campervan Luna, who got us home limping, to then fail dramatically her MOT (yearly safety check), where they said at any minute the whole chassis could have fallen out! But she got us home safely, just. This meant we had to decide whether to get another Campervan or change our travel plans. We chose to get another one, this one is also a Ford Transit, but bright orange and called Solero! Clearly this left us with some financial difficulties as we had to find the money for a new van, but luckily with plenty of work we managed to scrape together what we needed. And then converted it to much the same design as Luna, which has allowed us to ...

Shipping and Tripping (with my 2 favourite allies...)

We were looking for our next big Wonderfully Wild Adventure and were inspired by our friend Kate @overlandingsolo who had shipped her van to Canada. It hadn’t occurred to us just how accessible it is to ship a vehicle half way across the world and so we decided to do just that. However in recent months Canada had made it a little more difficult in that they brought out a new policy where foreign vehicles must have unlimited insurance, this is both costly and difficult to find. Having done some research and asking questions on forums we excitedly settled on Uruguay. Why Uruguay you may ask? There are many options of countries to ship to including but not limited to Argentina, Brazil, Mexico and the United States. Brazil was a good option but given that they speak Portuguese rather than Spanish and Will being fluent in Spanish it just made sense for us to rule that out. Again doing our research we learned that Uruguay is one of the least challenging in regards to customs for bringing t...
