This is ...my favourite travel memory...this weeks topic by Hila is a good one but with so many wonderful travel memories over the years...how do you choose just one!?
for me its all about experiencing new things...new food, new destinations, seeking the history and just taking time out to observe the feel of a city or town, the architecture, getting lost in the back streets, talking to the locals ....sitting down with a good coffee or local drink and just people watching...I love doing that!

I completely agree, sitting back in a cafe and absorbing the difference of a place is just magical. You should see how many back street architecture photo's I have from our travels... eeeek. I do love them though. I'd love to visit Cyprus! My dad spent time growing up there when he was a kid, his dad was in the army and was stationed there for a while...he has great stories.
ReplyDeleteI agree, it's so nice to soak up the local atmosphere and just slow down for a bit. Such a great theme this week and lovely to share your memories. Thanks.
