I travelled from Vienna to Zurick via Innsbruck through the most wonderful countryside.

Vienna is a great city with so many different areas and vibes to explore - so where do you start when you have only a day?

The wind did change today!

I believe you create your own luck and experiences.

My sister, Sally has flown out from Holland to join me for the weekend in Istanbul.

I stayed in the beautiful relaxed Anatolian town of Avanos

This is the land of fairy chimneys and underground cities.

Yesterday, I crossed the border into Türkiye and came back into another predominately Muslim country.

Today I arrived in Batumi on the east coast of the Black Sea.

Mestia and Ushguli are two villages that I visited in the Svaneti area of North West Georgia.

A National holiday has been called across the country to enable people to cast their vote.

I have just spent the weekend in the beautiful mountain town of Kazbegi, situated on the Georgian Military Highway near the Russian border

Described as the 'beating heart of South Caucasus' the capital city of Georgia is definitely a great place to visit.

I have entered the land of wine, cheese and churches.

Tea drinking has been an important part of all of the countries I have traveled through so far; Azerbaijan being no exception

At 8pm this evening I was sat in the courtyard of the caravansaria in Shaki, listening to the call to prayer from the mosque next door.
