We had planned New Year in Budapest well in advance and had booked a table at a cosy wine cellar. It was a really successful evening, but perhaps not exactly as we had imagined. It started with ordering a taxi, which only had to drive about a block ... Then the evening at the wine cellar was completely different than we imagined.

We have arrived at the Hotel President, our hotel in Budapest. We must say that we are already enjoying ourselves after a few hours, both in the huge luxurious hotel room and in the snowy city. We have been out for a while and had a soup and a beer and started planning for New Year's Eve.

Yves Saint Laurant came to Marrakech in 1966 and fell in love with the colours and mystique. He bought a piece of derelict land and built a stunning Arabic-style park with water, small bridges, green plants and cacti. He himself lived here, and since his death in 2008 there is a memorial grove for him here. We visited the park and museum yesterday.

Now we have tried quad biking in Morocco. We booked a quad bike tour yesterday and got to go to Palmerie, an area just outside Marrakech. We booked the tour on site in Marrakech, in one of all the small shops that sell excursions, and were picked up by car at the square when it was time. It was a really cool tour with a lot going on!

A friend of mine used to say that some journeys are best afterwards, or at least certain stages of certain journeys. You know, things that are quite fun to remember and talk about. But which are not quite as fun at the time ... Some such travel memories below. Do you have any travel memories that are best afterwards?

Thanks for all the wise comments on the post on Risks of Travelling. Many seem to agree that there are risks, but that we may exaggerate them and worry unnecessarily. It's dangerous to live, sure, but the bad stuff can just as easily happen at home or when you least expect it. Why should you feel bad about your worries and what is life worth if you don't dare to live it?
