Glad to be a Girl: 11 October: Johannesburg to Dubai to Istanbul

http://www.gladtobeagirl.co.za/2015/02/11-october-johannesburg-to-dubai-to.html

Friday, February 13, 2015. 11 October: Johannesburg to Dubai to Istanbul. So we left Joburg last night on a very busy Emirates. Flight. Luckily I had possible the only empty economy seat next to me. But, I still didn't sleep very well. I ended up watching Tammy. Seemed to be pretty much standard Melissa McCarthy. Fare Which is fine by me, I generally quite like her for light entertainment. And the rest of the cast was pretty star-studded too. Weird seeing Susan Sarandon. Luckily I found both at the airpo...

Glad to be a Girl: The Final Countdown

http://www.gladtobeagirl.co.za/2015/03/the-final-countdown.html

Monday, March 30, 2015. Shew, that was likely the "last" weekend of "Just the 2 of us". Nope she still hasn't dropped. And it didn't really go as planned . On Thursday night we decided to try a new (for us) restaurant in Rosebank called Hashi. It's not the sort of place that would end up being my local, regular sushi spot, even if it were close enough because it's expensive and the portions are large, but for a treat it is perfect! Remember that awesome incredible amazing Baby Monitor we bought last Nove...

Thursday, April 08, 2004. Mozambique: Some Lovely Diving. This is a retrospective post since the events all occurred well before I was blogging :) It was written on 23 April 2008. 30Mar04: Chimoio, Mozambique. This was another random stop over to break up the long journey between Malawi and Mozambique. Really remember nothing about it. 31Mar04: Vilanculos, Mozambique. We spent a night at Vilanculos. The little town on mainland Mozambique used by most people when taking a dhow. To the Bazaruto Archipelago.

Glad to be a Girl: 18 October: Fethiye to Pamukkale

http://www.gladtobeagirl.co.za/2015/03/18-october-fethiye-to-pamukkale.html

Tuesday, March 31, 2015. 18 October: Fethiye to Pamukkale. We were up before 8am, showered and had breakfast at the hotel before checking out. We left our luggage at reception and hopped on the scooter. Lots of exploring today! By chance we passed the Lycian Tombs. Carved into the side of the mountain (in 350BC apparently! We had planned to find our way to them later in the day) and then continued on our way to Kaya Koy. The nearby ghost town. Why do countries even have religions anyway? For lunch haha&#...

Glad to be a Girl: 19 October: Pamukkale to Kusadasi

http://www.gladtobeagirl.co.za/2015/04/19-october-pamukkale-to-kusadasi.html

Wednesday, April 01, 2015. 19 October: Pamukkale to Kusadasi. Our experience with the hotel ( Hotel Koray. Just deteriorated. And after we looked it up on Trip Advisor. We were amazed at how many of our complaints were the same as people had listed there! The wifi signal was rubbish. After I was already in the shower, The Trucker had to go and find clean towels! The breakfast was the least impressive we've seen so far (except there was watermelon :) ). The owners (or managers? Were also not very helpful.

Glad to be a Girl: 12 May: Chengdu

http://www.gladtobeagirl.co.za/2011/07/12-may-chengdu.html

Friday, July 15, 2011. Wow, noisiest train ride ever! Sigh, people really have no idea about personal space or consideration in situations we take so for granted. There is no such thing as a personal call because everything is said so loudly. And it's the same on the trains, regardless of people who might be trying to sleep. Anyway, I slept averagely and was woken super early because they switched on the lights in preparation for the last stop, Chengdu. And after breakfast we started to wander up to the ...

Glad to be a Girl: Snowboarding in Lesotho

http://www.gladtobeagirl.co.za/2008/08/snowboarding-in-lesotho.html

Monday, August 18, 2008. The weekend got off to a particularly bad start. Varen's dad, who was spending the weekend at the farm as well had apparently forgotten the keys . which meant that we had to take a detour from Randburg via Bedfordview. Yes, on a Friday afternoon at around 4pm . picture the scene! The morning started out okay but deteriorated rapidly. Once we crossed the Lesotho. Border (at the Ficksburg. But still we drove and drove and drove. Thank goodness we had confirmation or we definite...

Glad to be a Girl: 21 October: Istanbul

http://www.gladtobeagirl.co.za/2015/04/21-october-istanbul.html

Tuesday, April 07, 2015. We woke up late-ish and had a slow morning . we had a free day in Istanbul! Showers were lukewarm, but I spose that's cause we were late. We had a quick breakfast and then The Trucker had to quickly login and sort some work stuff out. This is what he's been lugging our cute new slim little laptop around Turkey for! The harbour stop to find out about Bosphorus Cruises. So we decided to kill some time with one of my Istanbul picks, the Archaeology Museum. Didn't see a thing! Just a...

Glad to be a Girl: 20 October: Kusadasi to Istanbul

http://www.gladtobeagirl.co.za/2015/04/20-october-kusadasi-to-istanbul.html

Thursday, April 02, 2015. 20 October: Kusadasi to Istanbul. We got collected by our next tour guide at 9am. I think this lady was my least favourite. Wish we'd had the guy from yesterday. She first took us to Mary's Church (or House). I didn't really follow it all. It sounds like somewhere along the way Mary swapped Joseph for John the Baptist (or did Joseph die? And ran off to Turkey to hide (and apparently died here). From there it was off to Ephesus. We walked thru a special section of terraced housin...
