Now on tripsandtravelogues.com: Chapter 2 of Turkey 2024. In this chapter we travel from İstanbul to Anatolia, which is actually in Asia. Here we were driven around the Dardanelles, where so many soldiers perished during World War I. We then sailed across to Çanakkale, where we saw the wooden horse used in the 2004 film 'Troy', which had been based on Homer's famous tale. On the following day we were brought to see the excavations at the real Troy, then driven to Güre, where we spent the night.

Travel back in time with me to 1979, when a friend and I travelled to the USSR for a twelve-day tour of the capital Moscow and the beautiful city of Leningrad (St Petersburg). At that time Leonid Brezhnev was holding SALT 2 talks with Jimmy Carter, and the country was busy preparing for the Olympic Games in 1980. It proved to be a fascinating tour and we had the freedom of finding our own way around the two wonderful cities. The first two chapters of 'Moscow and Leningrad 1979' are now on tripsandtravelogues.com.

Having taken a break over Christmas, the New Year, and dark, dreary January, it's time to think about travelling once again! On my tripsandtravelogues.com website you'll now find the first chapter of 'A Week in Sicily': an organized trip that I joined back in 2016. I was very interested to visit Sicily as it is such a fascinating island with an extraordinary mixture of different cultures. This first chapter describes our stay in Palermo and the drive down to Giardini Naxos, stopping en route to see the remains of a large Roman dwelling, the Villa Romana del Casale. It was the start of a really wonderful trip!
