Meet HooHoo!

 So after working hard for 5 months we decided it was time to go! We bought a 2003 Honda CR-V and converted it into a mini camper with a roof top tent, check out the video here.

We decided to start with the UK as it is a beautiful country and one should always explore your home land. So we went to Wales! And it was true to its nature... very wet! Really tested us in our roof tent...

We of course went to the Brecon Beacons as well as Snowdonia.


We enjoyed supposedly the best ice cream in the world at Llandudno, at The Looking Glass, although we had ours in crepes! It was delicious, but we can't say we are ice cream entrepreneurs, so wouldn't be able to tell you if it was the best in the world.

We then just couldn't take the wet and cold anymore, so decided to head to our friends in Bristol to warm up! After a few days we ventured to Bath and Stacey fell in love... with the place, not with someone else!!






Berkeley got to have a selfie with the town that shares his name, not quite the right spelling but he decided to ignore that!




We then ventured on down to Cornwall.. the place that is stunning, but also never ending! You think you're there and then there's another hour to go! It is also the place of this (very apt!):






Our favourite was Mousehole, we found a campsite in the village of Paul, a short walk down to Mousehole. Really beautiful area for Stacey's birthday








We of course went to St. Ives and enjoyed an ice cream and a Cornish pasty!










We then decided that the UK was too cold, and was only going to get colder.. so we thought, "Hey, you know what?! We are travelling, lets just go to France!"...

and so we did!

Looking back on 2023

Image
As it is the last day of 2023, we thought it would be nice to reflect on the year we have had. And what a year it has been. From spending last Christmas at a pet sit in Palairos, Greece, to this Christmas being on the beach in South Italy, it has been filled full of so many adventures as well as losses and a return trip home.   We sadly lost our Campervan Luna, who got us home limping, to then fail dramatically her MOT (yearly safety check), where they said at any minute the whole chassis could have fallen out! But she got us home safely, just. This meant we had to decide whether to get another Campervan or change our travel plans. We chose to get another one, this one is also a Ford Transit, but bright orange and called Solero! Clearly this left us with some financial difficulties as we had to find the money for a new van, but luckily with plenty of work we managed to scrape together what we needed. And then converted it to much the same design as Luna, which has allowed us to vent

Turkey and all it's delight

Image
A country that never ceased to amaze us at how big it is! You think where your heading is only an hour or so away, 4-5 hours later you arrive! So in hindsight, spending 5 weeks there just wasn’t enough and we would love to go back and take our time, maybe 3 months. And the people, wow, so hospitable.. within our first few days of being there we met some locals, who brought us a cup of Turkish tea each, and then recommended a beautiful bay to stay in. So we went there the next day, and the family was there, so they gave us more tea, plus some freshly caught fish! The locals are also so kind to the stray dogs, sometimes even paying out fo them to be neutered or spayed.   The bay recommended to us by locals Hammock out right away in Turkey Breakfast with a cow! Got the recording studio out! You may be aware already, but the cost of fuel in Turkey is so cheap, we were paying around €0.90 a litre, plus sometimes you’d even get a free cup of Çai (tea) with it! This helped balance out the cos

24 hours in Intriguing Istanbul

Image
A little blog post on our time in Istanbul, especially written for our friends Brett and Alan.  The buzzing city of Turkey, with mosques and bazaars, and a lot of culture and history. We spent 24 hours in this amazing city. We tried our best to figure out the tram situation but from what we could work out, you either needed a tram card or small notes (10 and 5 Lyra and exact change). It is cheap though, at just under 10 Lyra for one way. It’s a shame we didn’t manage to figure it out, or should i say, had the time to figure it out, as it would have been nice to venture to the other parts on the other side of the bridges. We visited the Blue mosque but sadly it was closed for repairs for a couple of months. But we enjoyed it nonetheless from the outside. Hearing the call to prayer between the Blue mosque and the Ayasofya mosque opposite was really special, sounding as though they are singing to each other. We did head back to the Blue mosque in the evening when it was dark to see i
