On Friday we’ll embark on our first long term travel: a one month pilgrimage in the Middle East.
Below is a rough route that may suffer significant changes, as we prefer to be flexible and avoid imposing a strict plan to follow. We’ll simply go with the wind 🙂 , relying mostly on advices from locals and couch-surfers that we’ll meet along the way.
Of course, Lonely Planet guides and GPS will be among our tools, but interacting with locals is by far the best “tool” out there.
So, Friday – June 4th: bus from Bucharest to Istanbul. June 7th – fly to Egypt. And here is where the plan ends. After 3-4 days in Cairo, we’re going to see other attractions from Egypt: Luxor, maybe Hurghada, Sharm el Sheikh, then relly on ferries to reach Jordan (where we have way too many things to see). We’ll keep everyone updated with route changes, stories and nice pictures from the locations we’ll visit. |

Right now we’re taking care of the last details: visas, documents, luggage, bus booking, plane tickets, Amazon order (hope this one arrives in due time, otherwise we won’t have with us the neck wallets and travel adapter).
We’ll write again just before leaving the country, to update about the luggage details and share any interesting info.
Oh my dear friends, with great jealousy we wish you bon voyage!
Thanks Raine!
Best of wishes from Turkey. We're staying here with some awesome hosts; but just so that you know: you're still our favorites ;).
