Day 8 – Tripoli

Posted on March 30, 2018

Go fish.

Today was all about food and family. And boy oh boy was there a lot of food. We got to sleep in a bit, before meeting up with family at a nearby restaurant for lunch. Here’s a snippet of our meal.

I filled up on the huge amount of mezze provided, before realising the meat was still to come. Chicken, lahmeh, kefta – stacks on stacks on stacks. I forced some down (as well as two orange juices, which were 9/10’s), and then out came the dessert and fruit.

Another huge food coma later, we went back to our relatives house which was next door to the restaurant. The house was huge, right on the water, and super fancy.

We hung out there, took some photos had more dessert, drinks and played cards until the evening. I think this is the third day in a row we’ve eaten so much to be bursting at the seams.

It sounds like tomorrow will be another chill family day, so may not be many photos. I’ll try and get some though.

Day 14 – Cannes

Posted on July 10, 2017

Chi-cannes you believe it?

Another pretty relaxed day today, starting with breakfast at the cafe just outside our apartment. I had a nice Brie sandwich on a baguette (as one must in France). After breakfast, we walked to the local markets they have on a Monday and looked around.

No camera today either, as we didn’t venture anywhere new today, just walking around familiar streets. Another midday rest and some takeaway pizza for lunch, before an afternoon walk by the beach and some gelato.

A home cooked dinner of pasta this evening, and some final preparation/packing of our things, as we leave for Nice tomorrow. It’s only a half-hour train ride from here which is good. Hopefully more excitement tomorrow.
