Far too long between episodes there Matt. - one a week should do it. Thanks
That would be the ideal but as you can see we're on a massive catch-up mission at the moment! When everything is running on rails I think we could probably do them every 2-3 weeks depending on internet access.Far too long between episodes there Matt. - one a week should do it. Thanks
Nice footage, Albania, Turkey, countries where I have been.Next one! We're slowly catching up!

Hi Jean! Glad you enjoyed the footage. I’m sure we’ve all pottered from time to time. I’m one of the worst as I always want to be productive but sometimes the best way to do that is to chill for a bit. Your example of playing chess makes sense, it’s largely whatever you deem it to be to be honest. Whenever I ask my mum about what she did at the weekend, she mostly replies.. “Just pottered”Nice footage, Albania, Turkey, countries where I have been.
I learned a new word "pottering", I hope I got it right. I have done that in my life, the "worst example" was playing chess with an American guy during one month in Asunción, capital of Paraguay when I was much younger.
One thing we should never forget, we can do that (pottering and travelling in a Grenadier) because "we" are "rich", we were born "rich", not like Jim R., but because of the place and time we were born.
Nepalese, Bolivians, Burundi's, and even Albanians, and even some of our European neighbors can't do that: born at the wrong place and wrong moment or wrong situation. That's what I always told my "half Brazilian" kids when I was raising them!
No problem at all!Thanks for sharing
I’m glad we can be of service in some way and that you’re enjoying the journey. As for Turkey, it’s a special country with a lot to offer. There’s more to come!I really look forward to these Matt, thanks for sharing the dream.
Turkey - just WOW
I have to ask, did you plan on being in the middle of the balloon launch, or was that an “ooops we shouldn’t have camped here” moment?
Took a while but it’s great to see it all come together! The balloons were pretty special, it makes a huge difference having the ability to roam and explore on your own. As for adding areas of interest in the future, I hope you’ve got a long notepad as there’s plenty more in store! It’s going to start to get a lot more interesting from here on in. Europe was just the warm up!Absolutely sensational footage.!
Bum clenching icy road, pinch yourself scenery in Cappadocia. Those balloons. Wow.
I'll have to add that part of the world to Albania ideas now!
Glad you enjoyed it! As for a week in Cappadocia in your own 4x4, whatever the situation, you can’t really go wrong. Turkey has a lot to offer. The TET is a great guide, there’s a lot in the East too that we just didn’t have time for.Fantastic episode. I rented a 4x4 for a week in Cappadocia and had a lovely time in the back country. Saw the old carved churches, went into villages, had lunch with locals. Great time. Met a lovely family in kayseri that runs a small winery and bnb. Just lovely. I'll never forget their mantis.
I'm thinking that I'll go back to the area of Mardin on my next time in Turkey. Maybe next month.
That is simply amazing!Next one! We're slowly catching up!
Another great installment, thank you Matt.Next one! We're slowly catching up!

I'd just like to add that Leah could be narrating audio books and particularly children's books. She has a lovely calming voice. As Leah's husband, your experience may vary...
It’s getting known as “The Ice and Balloon one” random combination I know. Glad you approve though.That is simply amazing!
