So my thoughts that I would blog as I go, on our mammoth Middle East driving trip in February/March 2023, were initially thwarted when my original site ran out of media space very quickly into my trip…as photographs are a large part of my blogging journey, that was a bit of a disaster as I’m using the WordPress ( seems to be Jetpack now) mobile app and it’s not as intuitive (for me) as using and writing the blog on the computer, but I was traveling light (no computer) and with phone data so easily available at low cost everywhere now, the idea was to write it up in the car as we travelled….then I had to create a new site which was quite fraught on the road in remote places, in and out of data zones….so I intended that it would all be written up once we arrived home in Cyprus …. trying to upload 30 photos on the road and the signal goes from full bars to no bars but it’s still showing 5G and then you find 3 random photos uploaded totally out of sequence….grrr…. for peace of mind my blog had a break!

It ended up being a year long break, and I have just sorted it all out as we are heading off on a new Middle East road trip…. I have a bit of work to do to catch up with some very exciting travel that we took in 2023, but for now….watch this space!
