| Carisbrooke Castle (part 3) |
| 2010-12-28 19:27:00 |
Carisbrooke Castle is my favourite of all of the castles I have visited on the British Isles. The castle is in an excellent condition and it has the most incredible views when you reach the top of the motte and keep. There are 71 stone steps leading up the motte and it was built around 1100. The steps are really steep and you need to be quite fit to make it up there!! I love this photo of Stephen as it reminds me of the Visit Kent adverts (you would have to visit London to see the posters of the little children climbing the castle steps). The well in the keep is 48 metres deep and I have to admit, I got pretty dizzy looking into it. That was nothing compared to the feeling of vertigo I got when taking some of the photos from on top of the wall around...

| The Moon in Africa |
| 2010-12-28 19:23:00 |
still looks like the moon.It is strange. I had just begun to really feel that London is ‘home’ and now I have come back to Johannesburg and it is amazing and I feel at home again. So much has changed here in approximately 18 months and it is all for the better. Crime is still a major problem and there is currently very little work available so I guess that every silver lining has a cloud. I have very little Internet access at the moment and have spent all my time with family and friends who no doubt appreciate their privacy so I’m afraid that there is little that I can post on my blog at the moment. I’m certainly enjoying the technological break!...

| Backpacking Guide to Eastern Europe |
| 2010-12-28 19:16:00 |
I fell in love with Serbia earlier this year and cannot wait to explore more of the Balkans and Eastern Europe. Of course, I have to convince my rather reluctant husband that Eastern Europe is the place to go. To help me out, the kind people at HostelBookers.com agreed to write a guest post on Eastern Europe. Prague Castle by Night (uploaded on Flickr.com by vlastula) Eastern Europe is a popular backpacker’s destination. Not only is it often cheaper than the rest of Europe, it has plenty of up and coming cities that everyone is talking about. Check out our route from Prague to Krakow, Vienna, Budapest and Dubrovnik on a map of Eastern Europe. You can travel in either direction, but we’ll be going north to south – somehow it feels like going downhill. And ...

| The Seaside Town of Cowes |
| 2010-12-28 19:10:00 |
There is something almost other worldly about visiting seaside towns outside of the summer months but that is just what we did on a rainy afternoon during our trip to the Isle of Wight in March. We’d been blessed with some gorgeous weather on our arrival in the Isle of Wight and on the day we took a ride on the Isle of Wight steam railway and we certainly hadn’t let the weather dampen our visit to Carisbrooke Castle but that was about to be put to the test! Stephen could not have parked further away if he’d tried and we had quite a walk into the little seaside town of Cowes. I immediately liked the old-town look of the place that was maintained even thought some of the buildings were quite new. We took a walk along the promenade. The sea and sky were...

| Chilling in Agadir |
| 2010-12-28 18:53:00 |
Like I said earlier, we haven't done much else than relaxing lately. Still waiting for the gale to move on up North so we can leave towards the Canary islands and get on that Atlantic crossing asap. We're dying to get started with it. Until then we'll continue with what we do best right now. Chilling out, eating, surfing (in dirty water), sleeping and reading... we're getting a bit restless over here yeah, but what to do....

| Goodbye Morocco |
| 2010-12-28 18:49:00 |
The lunch is eaten (grilled turkey with rice cooked in garlic and red pepper).The dessert is enjoyed (my delicious nutella cheescake - will post the recipe here one day if you'd like to try it).The autopilot is repaired for now. Rods and reels are prepared. Planning on catching some big mamas this time. Will keep you posted.The wash is dried. And we're ready to leave Africa and head towards the Canaries, por fin. It was a very pleasant stop, but now we're more than done with Morocco for this year and this time around. We will spend our Christmas eve on the ocean battling some 3-4 meter (9-13 foot) seas from the NW that are forecasted for the next 48 hours, but rather that than having to wait here for a longer time. We're ready to move on and so is our ...

| Safety Equipment |
| 2010-12-28 18:48:00 |
What was that fashionable bracelet I had on the last picture, you might ask. So I'll tell you: It is actually not a thing with a fashionable purpose, more with a surviving one. This wrist transmitter from Navicom is connected to our radio which is connected to our GPS/Chart plotter and in case any of us would fall overboard, this will transmit a distress signal to the radio and GPS. This armband is for us a necessity during night watches, as it will awake the person sleeping if the one of us two on night watch would fall out of the boat. Obviously we will in every way possible avoid falling overboard in the first place (life vest attached to lifelines) - but would it somehow happen - this armband will immediately send out a high sounding distress alarm aw...
