Dominant Dubrovnik

Dominant Dubrovnik  This is the place is the sight of the Game of thrones series and because of this much of the tourism is based off of the GOT franchise. Walking down the old higgledy-piggledy streets you are bound to bump into a tour or two. Unfortunately for us having never watched GOT it's rather lost on us. Still, we enjoyed wandering around the choice of shops, which seem to be developing in to nice homemade boutiques and products made by local artists rather an upwards step from the novelty touristic shops. Though we did thoroughly enjoy a wonder round the Christmas shop. Oddly still stuffed full of people at this time of year, and yes they were being hand made in the back of the shop. We watched a woman ice and glitter her baubles. The Christmas Shop is on my phone, so here's a picture of Andrew picking a nose... You can get quite lost in the lanes as there are so many of them inside the old town which is a beautiful, red roofed, white stoned walled fortr...

This is the end

Puerto Morelos The wonky old Lighthouse So off we went from Tulum roaring down the road towards out final destination. For this we had chosen Puerto Morelos, a small fishing town (or a small drinking town with a fishing problem as one bar described it). Although there are other more famous places we could have gone to such as Playa del Carmen or Cancun we had decided on Puerto Morelos as it was described as being less busy and resorty but a little more charming. For this reason it was a little bit of a shock when we had been bombarded by people asking us into their shop as soon as we stepped out of the taxi that had run us the few miles from the bus station to the sea front.  Beautiful cups at Lola y Moya Our time here was short and generally meant to be relaxing, as a result there wasn't a breadth of things that we had planned to do apart from walking by the sea front and seeing the wonky old lighthouse. We did however find an amazing cafe place called Lola y Moy...

Ica and the Icky Toes

Ica and the Icky Toes Olivia climbing one of the massive sand dunes Considering Nazca didn't have a centralized terminal, simply ticket offices, our journey to Ica was surprisingly easy. We took the same bus we had taken the day before to view the Nazca lines from the Marie Reich Tower, but instead of getting off we continued forwards. The main awkwardness was that they rushed us onto a bus right after we had bought ice cream, surprisingly there was only one ice cream/body part dip. But we trundled along in the bus, watching the usual odd collection of films. This time we seemed to have opted away from the graphically violent films (some prison boxing films and war films) but instead had the odd children's horror type films of Goosebumps and Nightmare before Christmas, yes it would appear that has started here too. The many palm trees of Huacachina We finally arrived at the Soyuz bus terminal after about two, maybe three hours. We disembarked and were greeted by...
