You know that G & I travel with 1 backpack & wear the same beloved clothes for months! …yes they wash easily & dry quickly😄 and a few have asked for us to detail how we do this …which we will do in a few weeks.

…in the meantime our friend Eric R shared this post & wanted to share it with you💜

We are in Lagos for 7 days. We are using a home exchange & looking forward to hanging out here. Fun people, beautiful beaches, good food& a fun boat ride to the amazing caves – waterside.

First the view from our condo.

Photos from our fun little boat trip.

We really had no idea there would be such cool rock formations right at our door.

We did go swimming today – wait – swimming is a misnomer- I went in the water up to my neck & soon retreated…..did go in!

First stop Tavira. Charming. Walkable. Lovely river through center of town. Ferry to Atlantic for fun afternoon on beach. Friendly locals. Amazing food. Love it!

A city with moor & Spanish heritage – Ronda has been around for centuries. Built around a gorge and incredibly beautiful countryside. And chilly😄 and a point on the Camino!

Beautiful Seville.

Amazing buildings. Fabulous parks.

Fun small streets. So many tourists🙃

Love this place!

Cádiz has somehow avoided the tourist crush & kept its charm. Small, quaint streets. Lovely historic buildings. Great food. Very walkable.

Time to say goodbye to Morocco & Africa. High speed train to Tangiers- ex ferry crossing/ should be in Tarifa Spain to watch kitesurfers by afternoon. HA! So much for plans. Mother Nature had other plans. High winds cancelled traditional ferry crossing & we had to adopt Plan B. Taxi 50km to a different port in Morocco & take a huge ship to a different port. We arrived in Algecerises around 9:30 & found a nice hotel-whew! A hot shower felt amazing. Ready to explore—Cádiz Spain here come.

Such an adventure on many fronts.

First time we have taken a tour. Loved meeting new friends from around the world. Loved Intrepid Travel small group(13) and their mild adventure format. Desert camel ride & overnight. Guest house stay. Hikes. Excellent local guides- Zaid. Layla, Jihad. And Hassan our leader.

Loved wandering Morocco- Todra Canyon, High Atlas, Essaouira, Tangiers, Marrakech, Chefchaouen.

Amazed by diversity. Mountains & snow to Sahara Desert dunes to Atlantic Ocean beach. Diversity of people, from very cosmopolitan to goat herders. From shiny Mercedes to mule carts. From lovely homes to modest clay mud abodes. Morocco as a country seems to be embracing ‘moving forward.’ High speed trains, lovely stations, education. And, yet get ready —really ready to bargain with your taxi driver! 😄 And the aspiring F1 taxi driver I described earlier -the swerve &screech were real. As was him letting us off .5 miles from our riad & then aggressive negotiations over taxi fare – after it had been agreed upon. We finally relented – as we don’t want retaliation 😄

The souks in Fez/crazy.

Road closed by snow in Atlas Mtns- unexpected.

Amazing people & food. Marvelous!

YES – I do suggest you experience it yourself!

Morocco’s train stations are wonderful. Sunny, bright, cafes. All the good stuff

Rabat,Tangier, CasaBlanca all had great stations
