Just Photos: So far on the Silk Road

Good times keep on coming :)


Typical me. Enjoying a book on a rock on the side of Mt Nebo, Jordan Doug reaching for the terrapin before he disappears up my coat sleeve, Appollonia, Libya Doug hanging out with his camel mate, Cafe Baghdad, Syria

No, time doesn't really travel that much slower in the Middle East. We have progressed beyond Day 10 of the trip, and I have the evidence to prove it! (Thanks to Margrete and Jennifer, our favourite geniuses, for the most of these photos.)

We're currently in a beautiful little town in northern Turkey called Amasya and we're yet to dazzle you with tales from Egypt, Jordan and Syria, but I thought some of you might like to see what a fabulous time we've been having.

It's a wonderful journey and we are lucky to be sharing it with a great group of people, some of whom feature in the photos above. Give us all a break – there's not a single spare minute for beauty routines on this expedition and that includes showers, fresh clothes, hair brushing, shaving etc. We're dirty and loving it ;)
