Today's travel recollections are brought to you by the letter U. U is for unwell it seems. Still, into every traveller's life a little unwellness must fall. Udaipur, India: The restaurant had a lovely setting, a green patch of grass surrounded by shaded terraces. Not that shade was needed in the evening. The tables were… Continue reading Travel A to Z – U

Travel A to Z – T
Twenty letters in to the A to Z of travel memories and memories in the planning and I am flagging somewhat. Especially knowing I have lots of tricky letters still to come. But T? T should be straightforward. Trinidad, Cuba We arrived in Trinidad and drove to the address of a casa particulare (B&B) listed… Continue reading Travel A to Z – T
Travel A to Z – S
Travel can be a state of mind, but it can also be a state of the stomach too. Thinking back about Sicily has made me hungry all over again. Sicily, Italy: I remember Sicily through food more than any of the things we saw there. If you go, be prepared to experience the island through… Continue reading Travel A to Z – S
Travel A to Z – R
As we creep on through the alphabet, I'm realising what a task I've set myself, writing six travel posts a week. But I've made it all the way to R, so I can't stop now. Rio de Janeiro, Brazil: I did not expect my time in Rio to be soundtracked by the sounds of 70s… Continue reading Travel A to Z – R
Travel A to Z – Q
I've been enjoying my trip down travel memory lane this month. It's been an opportunity to think back about places I haven't thought about for some time, like these two Q cities. Quebec City, Canada: My memories of Quebec City are fuzzy now, as it's been more than 20 years since I was there, but… Continue reading Travel A to Z – Q
Travel A to Z – P
Some day soon we'll be able to go somewhere more exciting than the supermarket. Some day soon we'll be able to go further than the end of our street. Until then, I'm travelling in my mind back in time and for P I am revisiting two places that I had just one full day in,… Continue reading Travel A to Z – P
Travel A to Z – N
Travelling back in time this month, one letter at a time. Naples, Italy: Naples' reputation as a crazy city is thoroughly deserved. I remember the walk from the train station to the town centre was a live stream of noise and chaos. Traffic all over the road, drivers driving with one hand on the wheel,… Continue reading Travel A to Z – N
Travel A to Z – M
Travel is currently a state of mind rather than a reality. I am spending this month travelling back in time and place in alphabetical order. And today we reach the halfway point of the alphabet. M was a tough choice - there are lots of places starting with M! But which one to choose? Munich,… Continue reading Travel A to Z – M
Travel A to Z – L
Luxor, Egypt: In the grand history of my travel, one place stands out as the champion city of hassle, and that is Luxor. From the moment we got off the bus it started. There was a man ready and waiting to tell us out hotel was closed, that we should come to his hotel instead.… Continue reading Travel A to Z – L
Travel A to Z – K
Kruger National Park, South Africa: There are many national parks in many countries, but Kruger is one of the largest game preserves in Africa. It's famous, and deservedly so, and a highlight of my travelling life. I would happily go back there for a week or two. Several times. For as long as my budget… Continue reading Travel A to Z – K
