and all the details about the places so to explain others?

If you go to museums, churches and wonderful historical buildings, can you tell details or even the names after years?

I know that the most beautiful church (old one) i've visited was in Bruge. Very big one, lots of detailes, gold and all...a well done art! And then i went to other small churches and other buildings there...

I would have to research for the names again...

How about you? Considering you don't go to the place lots of times or it was not a work thing...do you remember the names and details?

Hi Cristina, yes I usually do remember every single place I go to, providing I liked it that much. If you like visiting churches you should come to Malta. St John's Cathedral is a work of art. A masterpiece in my opinion

My fascination for new places ensure i remember
them in every detail.
I usually keep a diary when travelling and love to
read up on past 'adventures' from time to time.
So , yes i always remember the places i've been
to, good or bad.

Yep.. I like to know all the details of everywhere I go.. and I do remember it all..

for about a month.. then most of it fades from my rubbishy memory..

Thats why I take sooooooo many photographs .. even of the food I eat there..

I once took 1240 photos in 7 days..

But they help me remember what I have done and where I have been.


Hi Cris

Malta, a place to go!

good or bad?

tell us the very bad experience

Nice you do remember, i shall grow up!

yeah, taking pics of the food and all, that's your style claire

1240 pics? Printed?

Alas my memory wont hold details like where and what i've seen or done... Unless it's one of those places that really seeps deep into the soul.


he Newfoundland Memorial park on the Somme is one such place

on the what honey?

The Somme, a little river that runs through trance that became a chunk of the front line during WWI

ah, interesting. Thanks

I've been quite lucky with travelling so far.. not too much bad has happened..

Mostly it's getting lost in the middle of nowhere.. But I kind of like that really.. something new I hadn't planned always happens.. most of which with hilarious consequences. haha.

It usually means I get to meet interesting new people too.. I LOVE to travel.. I have met so many wonderful people that sometimes (often) I would never get to speak to again.. But some I keep in touch with via emails etc..

People I have shared some of my journey with.. had great conversations with.. yet never get to see again.. it's weird, but I love it.

I have missed planes many times though.. Once when I was being a cry baby at the airport.. and missed my friggin flight. haha.. I've been stranded here and there.. and had my luggage leave without me a few times too.

I get lost a lot lot lot! (no kidding)..

Ambushed on the Lowari Pass,

Northwest Frontier Pakistan.

Fortunately they took it out on the
bus driver, mainly because he was
an Afghani.
Poor fellow, took three beatings on
that journey, still had a big grin on
his face at the end of the trip though.

Nooo.. I would have to to sell my soul to get all the pictures I have printed.. haha
But I have them all on Hardrives and discs.

I do get some of them printed.. but I love sooo many of them.. (i love them all! haha).. I just don't know how to choose the special ones.

Oh Claire, you crying at the airport!



I see you are a little of a mess out there it's wonderful, yes

The people you meet and never see again, moments of life, of love, just beautiful to share with any stranger

You mean you were almost attacked? i had to look the word ambushed up

Yeah.. like something from Love Actually.. without the love.

But yep.. it's great to share special moments with strangers. Sometimes I have spent 12 hrs.. talking with someone .. eating with them.. travelling about in between with them.. talking talking talking... and never see them again.. like I said.. weird.. but great!

Yeah, weird

I don't have such experience ... anyway, must be the same as sharing so much with people on an almost daily basis then never talk or see again! I know the feeling then

Middle of the night, middle of the Hindu Kush.

A dozen armed men swooped down on our
bus.

Yep, i was nearly attacked.
