We learned to play cribbage round our friends Ian and Katherine's flat the night before we flew to Turkey. We hope to while away the long hours of boredom playing this game as we no longer have anything to talk about being married and all!
We've just come back to the U.K. after 2 years of teaching English in South Korea and have only been back for just over a week so we've barely had time to visit people and get reacquainted with British chocolate before we set off on the road again.
We only have a rough outline of what we're going to do at the moment. The plan is to start in Istanbul and spend a few days there before flying onto Tbilisi the capital city of Georgia. We have a couple of nights of accommodation booked in Tbilisi but after that it's all open. As a person who usually plans holidays meticulously it's both exciting and a little terrifying to not know where we'll be and what we'll be doing in a week's time!
A map for those of you who are a little hazy on where Georgia and/or Turkey are (I know that isn't many of you of course!)
So from now on I'll (we'll!) be trying to update this blog regularly wıth stories and pictures from our travels. And fınally...why is this blog called travels with my uke? Well, I'm a ukulele fan and I couldn't bear the thought of spendıng a few weeks wıthout one so decided to brıng it with me. I'm not sure that it wıll feature that much in these blog posts but you never know, I play a few tunes in random places and post up the videos!
