Bolivia Between Protests
Our first day in La Paz the city was locked down by a miners’ strike. Our last day was a national general strike. Luckily in between we got to see the best of Bolivia.
Maria & George's Travels: Vignettes of our adventures
High on Lake Titicaca
From the Sacred Valley to Lake Titicaca by luxury train. From a quiet night with a local family on Isla Amantani to not so quiet nights in Copacabana, Bolivia’s backpacker Mecca.
Gasping for Oxygen on the Inca Trail
Busting our lungs trekking into Machu Picchu along the Inca Trail and exploring the Sacred Valley of the Inca Empire.
Cyprus – Sunshine, Cats and U.N. Peacekeepers
A too short visit to Cyprus. History (ancient and modern, good and bad), beaches, mountains, food and wine. Nice weather and few tourists.
Chauffered Across Jordan
Jordan is an oasis of calm surrounded by turbulence. Bordering Syria, Iraq, Israel and the Palestinian Territories, it remains welcoming and (relatively) peaceful.
