Countdown to #europe2017: two and a half months

-

Plans are coming together and my days are starting to fill up. I'm excited and enjoying the planning process as I work out the logistics of what I want to do in which city and when I want to do it and if I will have time. If you've been here before, you know that a few of my nights are already taken with two Phil Collins concerts in Paris and two Adele concerts in London, and now one night attending Agatha Christie's long running play "The Mousetrap". Cross that off my bucket list. I've also booked a couple of tours, this will help me maximize my time since I'm only in some cities for two or three days. I have an all-day tour that goes through Spain, Andorra and France; tiny Andorra, 'squee' (as a friend says); a half day tour in The Netherlands to see windmills and cheese making; and a tour through Anne Frank's neighborhood (I should double check that I get into the house as well). London is a little more relaxed since I have been there a few times before and don't have to rush around anywhere; and in Edinburgh, I will be in the hands of a friend who lives there, so I'm not stressing, although I hope to get back to Loch Ness. I am also 'training' to do some climbing, up to the top of the bell tower of Notre Dame (387 steps) and a repeat of my climb up the Eiffel Tower. I'm eager to try Spanish food, especially tapas and paella. You can check back for updates over the coming months and I hope to blog while I am traveling.

The last time I made a trip like this was back in 2006 when I went around the world in 49 days. I wrote a book, if you're interested, called Oh, You're a Vegetable. I've been told it's pretty entertaining.

All aboard to Marrakech

 I will spare you all the details of the seemingly endless drive from Fes to Marrakech; I don’t mind long drives, I mean the drive from Apple Valley to South Dakota is long and mostly boring, but this was interminable. Nothing to be done about it, however, and we did get a distant glimpse to the High Atlas Mountains and experienced quite a number of service station facilities. We finally arrived in Marrakech in time for dinner and an early night for me. It was another full day of experiencing a centuries old city in less than 24 hours; sensory overload would be the theme of this trip - the pictures don’t do it justice because you don’t get the sounds, the smells and even the feel of the thousand year old stones under your feet, but I’m trying. We met our local guide Abdullah who was like a walking fortune cookie, he had aphorisms for every situation, a great sense of humor and history and the coolest accent. Our first stop was the Koutubia Mosque, built in the 12th century, and it’s th

Flying Solo

I've had a couple of big trips in the last six, seven months, and I'm planning the next one, or two. I don't want to say too much about it until I get some more things finalized. What I will say is I hope it includes China. That's all I'll say. Every time I take a trip or plan one, my friends ask if I'm going by myself. There's an eye roll, and then "Yes, I am.". Even people who know the answer usually still ask the question; those who don't know the answer are usually surprised, some are in awe. "Aren't you scared?" "Don't you get lonely?" and variations on that theme. A few things: you're never really alone unless you are in some totally remote location, which has not been the case for me; if you can't stand your own company for a few days, a solo trip might be just what you need; I do my best to not put myself in scary situations, like not hiking into war zones, or walking in potentially dangerous areas (w

Barcelona - the first two days

-
Day two of Mr. Magoo Does Europe, and it's been pretty awesome so far. But one of these days, I am going to get where I'm going on the first or second try. Maybe even the third. Honestly though, I'm so used to it, I don't even know what I would do if it happened. I walked around Barcelona yesterday, just trying to get my bearings (insert belly laugh), but I did eat some pretty amazing food, like chocolate filled churro (omg), and seafood paella, which I'm not sure how authentic it was, but I liked it; and I got in over 17,000 steps, not bad for getting here around noon and taking a siesta later in the day. Today was my big day, meaning I got up at 7:00 am to take a three country tour that lasted until 7:30 in the evening. For me the focus was getting to Andorra, a tiny country in the Pyrenees surrounded by Spain and France, and in fact, co-ruled by the two countries. First stop was Baga, in Spain, where I had the most delicious chocolate filled pastry that was was n
