Welcome to the Travelling Trappies blog - the countdown has begun....


The caravan's been sold, the container delivered and yesterday half the furniture walked out the door.



I won't be officially trip blogging for a couple of months, so watch this space...

  Ey ‘up. Well, we’re embracing the holiday park culture – last night there was cash bingo followed by karaoke and the lovely man who won the bingo shouted us a drink – go the Northerners!!!! We also made some new friends who have a permanent/static caravan/cabin at the park. So, backing up the bus (or motorhome) a bit, since I last wrote, we’ve arrived in the UK. London was a lovely surprise with beautiful weather and mid-twenties temps. We stayed at a fab “BnB” - Chez Camilla, and after a wee nap, I took a wander down the Embankment along the Thames – Chez Cam is in Lambeth one block back from the river, so within 5-10 minutes I was staring across at Parliament Buildings. It’s been a good 10 years since we were last in London and I had forgotten what a lovely, vibrant city it can be. There were lots of tourists wandering about but also lots of residents out enjoying the sun. Cycling has really taken off since I was last here with bicycle hire stands everywhere. Also, along the Em...

Well it’s been a much lower key last week or so for us. The weather gods have forsaken us just as we reached the Maya Riviera & Caribbean Sea, meaning we haven’t been able to spend our time at the beach as expected. Trap didn’t need his speedo’s as the constant strong winds battering Tulum meant that swimming in the ocean was tricky at best, treacherous at worst with pounding waves and strong currents. On the upside we got a lovely full-body sand exfoliation on the first day we tried to lie on the beach, so our skin is glowing and we’re still finding sand in odd places a week later 🙂! Tulum Beach is a rather unusual place and I can’t say we’d come here again or necessarily recommend spending much time here. I’ll start with the good… What is fantastic about the area are the ce-no-tes and the archaeological site. The cenotes are spectacularly clear, fresh water holes in the ground that are all over the place. You can swim, snorkel, dive in them depending on the size and structure. S...

Ahlan (أهلاً) from Egypt. Apologies, this is a bit of an epic blog as 2 weeks in Egypt feels like about a month as there is soooooooooo much to see.  Leaving Alexandria we headed to Giza – a fairly grotty town but with the Great Pyramids of Egypt and the Sphinx on its doorstep, it’s a must for any visitor to Egypt. If you can, stay in Giza itself in a hotel with a view of the pyramids - there are quite a few of them. We had a view from both our bedroom window and from the rooftop terrace where we had breakfast, so we could see dawn, sunset and the light show from the comfort of our bed 😊. Pick a hotel with a restaurant as where we were there were no restaurants within comfortable walking distance and there weren’t really any footpaths, the roads were covered with garbage and it all felt a bit dodge. You can use uber to call taxi’s to take you anywhere you want to go.  We just stayed two nights, so we had a packed day heading first to the Egyptian Museum and then the Pyramids....
