This journey has proved to be a little nightmare of its own. Posted by Kasia Koltunska. The catch was that aside for the sleeping bag and the rented tent, I had no other camping gear. This meant that the nights were spent on the very hard and often quite cold floor and ...

Tuesday, July 6, 2010. Posted by Kasia Koltunska. The catch was that aside for the sleeping bag and the rented tent, I had no other camping gear. This meant that the nights were spent on the very hard and often quite cold floor and food had to comprise of sandwiches since I had no pots or pans to cook anything else.

That was a couple meters in circumference. We were shown one that had fallen over 12 years ago and whose roots still created a round disk in the air, and a dab that had toppled in 1975 and was slowly rotting away. Oh, and I must not forget the one dead mole and one dead frog that I saw. But before I end my review ephesus tours. Very m...

From Sea to Sea ...: March 2010
http://viathesevenseas.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 30, 2010. Where, when and why? Posted by Kasia Koltunska. The why is easy, the where an when are a bit more difficult to define. There's still a lot of the world to see.
