I’d love to visit Morocco someday, but it’s not quite on my immediate radar yet 🙂 It will get there eventually!

I’m nothing if not a confessed overpacker!

Go Austin! That’s awesome.

Thanks Simran! Yeah, the ginger is awesome as it doesn’t leave you drowsy in the slightest — I’m totally hooked on it now.

Austin banned single use bags about 3 years ago. It seems to have worked well in that most people have canvas bags and they have signs reminding you to bring them. Most stores have paper bags if you forget.

Thanks for introducing Dramamine! I thought I am the only one in the world who suffers from motion sickness which is actually a big time mood spoiler while travelling. Whenever I feel motion sickness, I cannot do anything but doze off in car or flight to feel better. I am definitely buying this stuff 🙂

This is an awesome blog.

More places have free paper bags than they used to, and some do charge for bags, but I wish the fee was more universal. I definitely think it’s been more effective in stores that have the fee. Also, places with the fee usually ask if you want to donate the bag savings to a charity, which is nice.

Oh no….
We’ve not had any rain in my neck of the woods for ages our. 🙁
I wish the experience for you would be different – although without the rain, places like Lydford Gorge in Devon – would not be half as beautiful without it.
Our country is incredibly beautiful and it doesn’t rain all the time. Where I live on the estuary, throughout the winter we have cold, dry, blustery days where you can wander along our shingle beach admiring the wind battered beach huts – pondering over crashing salt-filled waves whilst watching the winter birds plunder the shoreline for their breakfast. Britain is beautiful-whatever the weather – wishing you happy cloudless days for the rest of your stay Alex. xx
