How far can a man go with £10,000? This really does make the world an oyster. Monday, 31 March 2008. Northern Greece (Trip No.6). And from enjoying Rembetika music – how do I upload an audio clip? Then off to Thrace to see the Pomaks and the surrounding region, looking for signs of Philip of Macedonia and Alexander the Great. Finally to Ali Pasha's Ioannina, and the Pindos hills, where spring should look fantastic. A full report will follow on my return on May 4. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

How far can a man go with £10,000? This really does make the world an oyster. Thursday, 30 August 2007. Sunday, 19 August 2007. Things I've thought and talked about since getting back:. 1 How useful the BBC Active. Language course had been (book and 2 CDs). Though I didn't get far with it, it made an excellent, easy start. 2, How lucky we are, with our ease of travel. Many Russians don't seem to grasp tourists' needs because they have never been tourists themselves. We'll kiss, grow old, walk around.

How far can a man go with £10,000? This really does make the world an oyster. Tuesday, 6 May 2008. From Thessaloniki I drove some 1200km, first east to Thrace and Xanthi, where, on Easter Sunday, the muezzins. The only black spot was losing my camera while roaming the hills, hence no pics here (and also discovering on my return home that my annual insurance had expired). But being without a camera was also liberating. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). A very big cheque. Where shall I go with it?
