What is happening in Crimea? Do you find it hard to keep up? Political crises are often complex and it is not always easy to grasp the context.

We don't usually do much shopping when travelling - space in our backpack or motorhome is limited. But something can be fun to bring home. For us it's often a piece of clothing or jewellery, things we use. The exception is Ukraine, where we have travelled almost exclusively for shopping! There, we've had to buy an extra bag on the way home ...
During February, we wanted to know how our readers prefer to travel on holiday, and it was without a doubt - by motorhome! A total of 75 people voted, with 72% preferring to travel by motorhome.

I've blogged about this before, but here are some updates. We read a lot when we travel, and I like it best when I can read books from the part of the world I'm travelling in. I actually wish bookshops were sorted like that, by location in the world.

Now it's time for new windows! We are going to change all the windows in the houseboat. The old windows are single or double glazed. In addition, the frames are worn and ugly. On the lower deck there are not even real windows. Someone has just bought sheets of glass and put them in frames. In addition to being ugly, this means that not a single window on the lower deck can be opened ... So it's time for a window replacement operation!

An extra adrenaline rush while travelling? I have to admit that some people in this family are more adventurous than others. I like to skip things where you get too high up in the air, for example... but I like to stand on the ground and take photos. How daring are you?
