We awoke to a gloriously sunny morning – a bit heartbreaking as we had no time for further explorations as we were hopping an early morning bus from Chefchouen to Fes. After a 5 hour bus ride (which Jess had…
We Found a Blue House with a Blue Window…
We woke up groggy in Tangier, and stumbled off the train to find a taxi to the bus station. We asked the first driver that we saw, and he laughed and turned around to point across the street… the bus…
Mean (“but Not Pushy”) Streets of Marrakech
After a lovely breakfast of breads and spreads, bowls of coffee (seriously) and fresh OJ on terrace upstairs we were ready to dive back into the fray that is Marrakech. Our guide, Amin, met us at the riad and took…
Ciao ciao Croatia, Saluté Morocco
A tactically positioned AirBnB and a ridiculously easy-to-navigate airport made saying ‘so long’ to Dubrovnik a piece of cake. Sadly, it’s not easy (or cheap) to get a direct flight from Croatia to Morocco, so we found ourselves flying all…
Big Boats, Tiny Boats, and Cable Cars Galore!
A third early morning, this one forced by the ferry schedule, had us up early again and scrambling to make sure we got to the port on time. We arrived a bit frazzled and definitely out of breath, only to…
We’ve come so Hvar
Somehow we woke up early, again, grabbed tasty tasty Croatian pastries and made quick (ish) work of the hike up the hill to the fortress over looking the town of Hvar. We saw the view, some recovered amphorae from shipwrecks,…
Korčula: No Pain, No Gain
Thanks to the encouragement of our AirBnB host “mom” in Korčula, Grant found some chivalry and ducked out early to grab a breakfast to be enjoyed on the rooftop patio over looking the town. When we told “mom” later, she…
Dubrov to Korčula Magic
One of the “must do” things in Dubrovnik is walking along the top of the old city walls. Knowing this is popular with tourists (especially from the cruise ships) we dug deep and managed to get up and out by…
The Coast with the Most
After yet another lazy morning fortified by our beloved Armenian fruit/nut combos (if you can’t tell yet, we’re not exactly morning people), we headed off in search of adventure… specifically, we’d seen a barber that did “hair tattoos” in town,…
Let’s Split It?
After a lazy morning of planning the next phases of our grand adventure (fueled by leftover dried fruits and nuts from Armenia) we set off to tour Split’s most popular attraction: the ancient palace of Diocletian. We started with the…
